The Good Life
What if everything culture told you about “success” was backwards?
In this powerful summit talk, Lauren Husman dismantles the modern feminist script that says career over family, independence over intimacy, and ambition over motherhood is the only path to happiness. From a viral ad that erased a mom’s family in the name of “focus,” to the rising 4B movement swearing off men entirely, Lauren asks the question most Gen Z women are too afraid to say out loud:
What if marriage and motherhood aren’t the problem… but the promise?
Backed by eye-opening polling data and her own story as a newlywed, Lauren exposes the lie of the “strong, independent woman” myth and offers something radically countercultural: a vision of the real good life — one rooted in faith, family, and truth.
If you’ve ever felt torn between ambition and marriage, career and kids, culture and conviction — this conversation is for you.
6:08 – The Commercial That Says Your Family Is a “Distraction”
7:03 – The Modern Definition of a “Successful Woman”
8:23 – The Feminist Checklist for Happiness
9:39 – How Radical Feminism Became “Mainstream”
10:46 – The Happiness Decline No One Talks About
11:36 – “Shouting Your Abortion” — What It Really Reveals
12:51 – The Poll That Surprised Everyone About Gen Z Women
13:51 – “I Just Got Married” — Why I Didn’t Wait
14:54 – The Problem With Non-Committal Gen Z Men
16:14 – The Real Good Life (And What Actually Matters Most)
