08/16/24 • 27 min

In this episode, we explore the surprising similarities between the Plath family from Welcome to Plathville and the Ballerina Farm brand of the Neeleman family. No matter how strict or "perfect" their upbringing, kids still end up making their own choices. We also dive deeper into the men who push for these traditional family roles, uncovering the darker motives behind their desire for control. When it all falls apart, it's the moms left to pick up the pieces—after years of dedication, they’re often left on their own, with no one coming to their defense.

Red Flags on the Farm

In this episode of the Emerging Motherhood Podcast, I delve deep into the world of Ballerina Farm. Known for giving up a Juilliard education to embrace life on a farm and raise 8 children, Hannah Neelman has become a focal point in the growing "trad wife" trend, where traditional roles and aesthetics are romanticized on social media.

Recently featured in a critical article, Ballerina Farm has faced its share of scrutiny. As a former "trad wife" who has exposed the often harsh realities behind the facade, I break down the criticisms aimed at Ballerina Farm. Drawing from my interview with People Magazine, I uncover the truths behind the curated images that captivate so many.

Join me for this revealing episode that goes beyond the surface to explore the complexities of the trad wife movement and its impact on women today.

Why Women Lose

How many more times do we have to watch women lose before we finally admit the system was never built to protect us?

In this episode, I connect the dots between three stories that broke my heart in different ways:

Adolescence, the Netflix show that shows how easily young girls are thrown away

Bree Olson’s fight to keep her child because of the shame our culture puts on women who refuse to live quietly

And the devastating story of Cyntoia Brown, who was punished for surviving the kind of violence no one protected her from.

These stories aren’t just sad. They’re a mirror.
Until we stop treating women like objects—something to use, discard, or judge—none of us are truly safe.
