E194: The Truth About Housewives: Myth vs. Reality


Listen Later

The trad-wife trend tells us that a happy, well-run family relies on dad working outside the home while mom stays home with the kids and does all the housework. But is that actually how things have always been? Spoiler alert: Not really! Proverbs 31 shows that economic contribution has always been a part of a wife’s role—she wasn’t just sweeping the floor and baking bread.

Fast forward to today, and many families can’t survive on just one income. So, what’s a modern mom to do? Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! I’ll share tips on how moms can be fully present for their kiddos while also contributing financially. Believe it or not, there are careers out there that actually work for moms with toddlers hanging off their legs.

The debate over whether it’s better to work or stay home has never been shaken up quite like this! Join us for a lively, honest discussion.
