We talk a lot about "trad wives" these days—homemaking, biblical submission, femininity, and all things domestic goddess… but let’s be honest: you can’t have a traditional wife without a traditional husband. In this episode, we’re flipping the script and asking the real question—where are all the trad men?

We unpack the cultural double standards, the lost art of masculine leadership, and why marriage only works when it’s paired with, well… a man. If you're tired of the pressure being piled on women while men coast on vibes and video games, this one’s for you.

Lyndsey spoke at NEW’s leadership summit to a group of college-aged women interested in how they’ll one day balance a career and motherhood… and what she learned will shock you!

In this episode of the Out of Practice podcast, we discuss the importance of embracing 'easy wins' in parenting to bolster the hard work it takes to raise the next generation. We explore the significance of establishing routines, managing emotional challenges—and the role of gratitude in our lives.

Quick note: we’re trying to find the best way to connect with friends, and trying Substack since it has podcast publishing and community features that seem to be a great fit - but we know it’s very much a growing platform. We’d love to start the chat with you about some of your favorite easy wins — you can subscribe using the link below and join the chat!
