Reinvention Room is launched with a whole new twist!!! This episode is a juicy one. I’m breaking down the Tradwife phenomenon—a throwback to 1950s-style homemaking in today’s modern world. If you’ve ever stumbled across an Instagram account like Ballerina Farm or found yourself questioning the aesthetics, values, and privilege behind these curated lives, you’re in for a treat.

I dive into what Tradwives are, why they’re so polarizing, and what makes them both fascinating and frustrating. From the allure of simplicity to the backlash from feminists, I’m unpacking why this cultural moment lights up so many debates. Are Tradwives just living their best lives, or are they masking privilege and systemic inequities? And, most importantly, how does this trend reflect where we are as women in 2025?

I’ll share my personal reactions (spoiler: I’m not moving to a farm anytime soon) and highlight key players like Ballerina Farm and other tradwife influencers. We’ll also explore whether this movement is truly about choice—or if it’s an MLM-esque path back to traditional gender roles.

Notable Timestamps:

• 0:00-2:15: Welcome to The Reinvention Room relaunch! Why we’re talking about Tradwives.
• 2:16-10:30: My journey to this podcast name and why reinvention is central to this conversation.
• 10:31-18:45: What the heck is a Tradwife? Let’s define it and break it down.
• 18:46-27:00: Meet Ballerina Farm—aesthetic goals or a recipe for rage?
• 27:01-33:20: The feminist critique, the conservative dream, and everything in between.
• 33:21-41:10: The behind-the-scenes hustle of tradwife content creators. Are they even “traditional”?
• 41:11-49:00: Is the tradwife movement just an MLM in disguise?
• 49:01-53:30: My closing thoughts: Why this trend makes us feel all the feelings.

Mentioned in This Episode:

• Check out Ballerina Farm on Instagram for a deep dive into the aesthetic.
• Anne Helen Petersen’s viral piece on Tradwives
• Grab your spot in the Freedom25 workshop and mastermind.

I (Allison Hare) was recently featured on the top-ranked podcast, She Sells Radio with Elyse Archer. We had a really interesting in-depth conversation about how to reinvent yourself after 40. One thing that has been circulating around my circles is that it can feel really overwhelming when you have built a big life and are realizing what you want - might have evolved into something different - and not sure how to make that pivot. Elyse Archer is a brilliant money and mindset coach and I’ve been an early client of hers. In fact, she’s been featured on this podcast in episode 97 which I will link in the show notes. I thought she asked such insightful questions that I wanted to share our conversation and her work with you here.

• Allison looks back on feeling the pull to work with Elyse and how it changed her life.
• It’s incredible to see someone put aside the reasons not to and start reinventing themselves.
• Allison shares what she learned as a child that impacted her career in later years. She explains her background and how she found herself in corporate sales.
• She suppressed her creative side to choose what she thought would bring her financial stability.
• It got to a point where she could feel that things were out of alignment. She had to get to the bottom of burnout.
• Giving a platform to the thing that lights you up the most opens up everything.
• For many people, it is somewhere around mid-life where they feel the pull to make a big shift.
• Where do we even start? It can be scary to make big changes, especially “later” in life.
• There is grief that comes with outgrowing the familiar.
• Grieving needs to be normalized. Pain is the price of evolution.
• There is a misconception and belief that many people have that they are not good enough.
• Allison describes the framework called Boom, Room, and Bloom.
• Give yourself some room to experiment but think of it like a playground.
• Limiting beliefs will hold so many back. Allison explains how she reconciled this within herself.
• Success is a patchwork of creativity and accomplishment that are all in alignment.
• We don’t have to wait for the event that knocks us down so hard and so far to make a change.
• Life is the sum of your relationships, not your achievemehttps://podcast.allisonhare.com/post/EP97:Girl-You-Need-To-Make-More-Money!w-Elyse-Archernts. When you invest in the relationships that you want to cultivate, life gets richer.
• The wrong people may derail you.

Taking a decidedly hard left pivot to do a cultural deep dive into the new buzzy movie that everyone is talking about, The Substance starring Demi Moore, Margaret Qualley, Dennis Quaid, and co-produced, written and directed by Coralie Fargeat. Shockingly insane, it was like nothing I ever expected and I"m not sure if I recovered.

But despite the terrifying visuals and sound design, the message was pretty relevant and thought-provoking.
