- In another controversial podcast episode I chat with Alena Kate Pettitt, tradwife, author, homemaker, viral sensation and founder of The Darling Academy.
In this episode we chat about how Alena went from a stressed out woman working in marketing to homemaker; how traditional housewives are poorly represented; the benefits of being a housewife; why resting is important and how the rat race can ruin out health; why we’re not equal to men; The sanctity of marriage.

My husband and I get called old-fashioned all the time. I stay home and take care of our home and he is out in the workforce and we have been married for 11 years. We are both very much happy and in love with this lifestyle because it works for us. This doesn't work for everyone but we are very much happy and in love
Thats so lovely to hear!!
I grew up in the 1960's (born in the last month of 1959) and I had home economics in school in the 1970's. My mother, my grandmother and my two aunts were all housewives. This is all I knew in the 1960's. I'm so thankful I had this traditional background. Many mothers had lots of children then and they were kept very busy. They had no time for boredom. Now when a woman stays-at-home, some women are from the sandwich generation looking after children and also elderly parents. That keeps them busy too. I did this as well. When you're at home you can help other extended family not only your own family. I have been at home for 26 years now and don't regret it. I personally don't know how woman can have a career and a family too. No wonder women are stressed to the hilt. Staying at home is a blessing if you want your family to thrive and this helps society too. Homemakers are very important. Most important job in the world. God bless you Alena for telling the younger women this. It's nice to see as an older women that the tradition of homemaking continues for future generations to come. Keep doing it and don't let it get to you when people malign you. Your husband and son is very blessed to have you at home. They will need you for many years to come even when your son gets older.
what a lovely comment, thank you for sharing your story!!!
@@JodieBrandman No problem. I just think it's great younger women do this. It will help your marriages and families. Through the years I have seen many women stressed out and leave husbands or want to be the boss. The sad thing is children suffer for this. Husbands suffer. When a family is happy and stable that is best. I believe when a woman is a Traditional Homemaker your chances of staying married and having a happy family is better. God bless all young housewives and moms out there. Your work is so important. Don't let the world get to you. You are doing the right thing.
I think Alena is teaching a great lesson......there are thousands of jobs you can do staying at home, without having to commute and loads of creativity you can enjoy around your family and household , which gives you the opportunity to enjoy your children more and at the same time no let let the romance disappear, as that is exactly what keeps a marriage at live
I’m currently 19 and at university but dream of being a housewife one day. I feel so disconnected to modern society I just can’t relate and feel I can’t voice my needs through fear of judgment 😔
I hope things are going well for you. 😊
@@vintagebeliever5023 thank you 🤗🙏I am currently working as a secretary and still looking for love to one day hopefully start a family that is all I really want.
It's so refreshing to see that there are women that still have these views. More power to you both and God bless you.
I wish you had more encouraging chats like this. Highly respect Alena.
Oh, yes to being out until the street lamps came on. Good memories. Thank you
Very interesting conversation I found myself agreeing & disagreeing throughout... I felt myself in a similar situation after having a baby. I have my business now, set up in a way which works for our family. But the urge to scale always looms... divine timing. Life is phases and right now I’m in the early years... my young family is my first priority xx
ahh I hear you, I go through massive waves too... I was talking about this the other day as that business growth is a buzz, but its a strange buzz and one that definitely doesn't feel healing... but it's equally a bit addictive!
@@JodieBrandman oh wow that’s got me thinking... I’ve never considered if it feels healing or not. It doesn’t you know.... loving the variety of guests you have on x
I'm in my 50s and due to chronic illnes I became a stay at home wife anc then a stay at home mum. I loved my life, but ut has been isolating. When the children were young I had a few friends who stayed home part time but they eventually went back to work full time. Now my health is poor and my friends are few. My lovely home is messy. I wish there had been #tradwife when I was first married in '88. We havd been happily married for 35 years this month. X
A very intelligent conversation between the two of you! It sounds like y’all have your priorities straight. What a breath of fresh air! 😊🌷

I'm 62 And retired US military Veteran Annual budget of 60000 a year and and I am looking to get married and settle down and willing to do what it takes to make it work
May God bring you the right partner.
So good …I really enjoyed listening to it!
Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed this. 🇬🇧👍🏻💛🤍
In Uk we use the word housewife in Australia they refer to someone as a homemaker. It somehow sounds much nicer.
The first public school was established in the United States on April 23 1635. Couple hundred years before the victorian and Edwardian era
For me it is just financial. I can’t do it because I carry the insurance and can not afford the private insurance. When I was younger and really wanted to do and could have figured it out my parents made it clear that they expected me to work.
Wow.. Iving your parents expectations is stifling
Excuse me, ladies. I have been trying to find a "traditional" woman to become my wife, but such ladies seem rare. Can either of you help me in this regard?
Oh my goodness what a world you live in 😅
Maybe it's just that I surround myself with good people but I never heard someone talking badly about stay at home mothers. Well, maybe they just don't dare with me around 😄
I'm a stay at home mom and I only get criticism, despite having a university degree, having worked in a corporate environment for many years before, being a home owner (not the one we live btw) and having a separate income and investments from my husband 🤷🏻♀️
They can't place me in their mental socioeconomic hierarchy, so they reject me altogether.
You were lucky then 😊
Lol, she is still working in marketing and beauty. I don't get trad wives who earn money and have platform. That's a very Feminist thing to do _ writing books and all. Just say you wanted a job you enjoy and a family.
Very dangerous to lead other women into being a financially dependent...as you have a privileged career and make substantial money.
That is the beauty of being at home. In between other things you could be learning and helping with finances. 😊
