  • 92: Trad Wives: The Psychology of Anti-Feminism with Dr. Lesley Cook

    92: Trad Wives: The Psychology of Anti-Feminism with Dr. Lesley Cook
    May 20 2024
    Buckle up for this one! We are discussing the interesting topic of trad wives, the psychology of anti-feminism, and the pushback/feedback we are seeing on TikTok. If you aren’t sure what any of that means, stay with us, and we will explain. I’m joined by my good friend and frequent guest on the show, clinical psychologist, Dr. Lesley Cook. Show Highlights: A montage of trad wife audio content The overriding philosophy of trad wife content: the good way vs. the bad way (with no in-between) KC’s definition of a trad wife: “a woman who chooses to stay home, submit to her husband, and embrace traditional gender roles because they believe God says they will be happier” (usually with undertones of homeschooling, homesteading, and political/religious agendas) The correlation between mainstream marketing, multi-level marketing, and trad wife philosophy: they all create the myth around what they are trying to sell The psychology of instability, isolation, loneliness, vulnerability, and a lack of belonging common in the trad wife movement Too much feminism OR not enough feminism?? Our responsibility as a global community of women to the problems of patriarchy Patriarchy, the myth, and the marketing campaign Scenarios in which a trad wife is trapped, isolated, overtaxed, and overwhelmed—but still believes the myth Traps that pop up in many areas with exploitive systems that can all be tied to money How we are consuming trad wife content with a romanticized view of the false narrative Resources and Links: Connect with Dr. Lesley Cook: TikTok Connect with KC: Website, TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook Get KC’s book, How to Keep House While Drowning We love the sponsors that make this show possible!

    90: How to Feed Yourself When the World is Burning Down Around You with Amy G.S.A. Brooks
    May 6 2024
    If you have felt the pressure to put meals on the table that adhere to the expectations of others, even when you could barely function in life, this episode is for you. I’m joined by Amy G.S.A. Brooks of Wandering Ames. She’s one of my favorite content creators who posts about the OK Kitchen. There is more to life than succumbing to societal pressure to prepare perfect, five-star meals. Join us! Show Highlights: ● The beginnings of the OK Kitchen and the forming of a new community ● Food insecurity and diet culture during the pandemic ● Messages surround us everywhere about how we feed ourselves and fuel our bodies. ● Thinking about preparing food for three meals every day seems like never-ending labor! ● Meal plans can be a helpful tool–but should be set aside when needed. ● Wasteful in food or wasteful in being unkind to ourselves? Which is worse? ● Be willing to break the rules: dinner doesn’t have to be a big meal or a fancy production, and food plans should be simple and flexible. ● The point of meals is to get what our bodies need.

I can't imagine a person this would not help

I feel as if everyone should listen to this podcast. If it doesn't improve their life, it will prove the lives of people around them because they will be exposed to an alternate perspective.

Organizing for the overwhelmed

I'm really enjoying KC Davis' podcast. I see a lot of podcasts started by experts from other platforms that feel like rewarmed tiktok/insta/whatever, but this podcast seems to be offering fresh insight on her core philosophy. Maybe it's because she can have guests here? Whatever the reason, it's a great podcast. I enjoyed this one specifically for discussion of why/when to organize as much as how.

Depression

Struggled with exec function my whole life due to major depression. This advice makes so much sense! It’s an approach that is needed and long overdue for the non neurotypical.
