Listen to this week's episode on #tradwives.

The "tradwife," short for "traditional wife" is a fast-growing lifestyle that emulates the 1950's housewife and can be seen everywhere on social media today. You may have encountered a tradwife on TikTok or Instagram; she's typically a full-time domestic caregiver, bows to her husband, and has little to no financial independence. Some accounts are a parody. Many are real. Some consider this a movement against modern feminism and the burnout culture so many women experience as they aspire to "have it all." Journalist and author Jo Piazza has been following the tradwife culture for the past year and shares her insights.

More about Jo Piazza: She is a bestselling author, podcast creator of Under the Influence, and award-winning journalist. You can subscribe to her very popular Substacks: Over the Influence.

Jo is the national and international bestselling author of The Sicilian Inheritance (which debuts in 2024), We Are Not Like Them, You Were Always Mine, Charlotte Walsh Likes to Win, The Knockoff, and How to Be Married. Her work has been published in ten languages in twelve countries, and four of her books have been optioned for film and television. 

How do we decide with ease? The idea of having the power to choose, to choose a different direction, to speak up to authority, to let go, to create, to shut down, sounds good. But life isn’t always that simple. Making high-stakes decisions involving work, money, and family can be frightening.

Our guest is Stef Ziev, former TV executive turned certified life and executive coach. Her new book is called THE CHOICE IS YOURS: A Simple Approach to Live and Lead With More Joy, Ease, and Purpose.

This is an encore episode from July 10, 2023.

In his book, Die with Zero, Bill Perkins challenges the notion of passing down your wealth. In fact, during a health screening, his doctor asked in the evaluation about financial stress: “Do you have fears of running out of money?” Bill said, “I hope I run out of money!”

We discuss the merits of spending more money in your living years, how to calculate getting to “enough” net worth and balancing taking care of children and dependents with the notion of dying with zero.
