1633: Exploring the "Tradwife" Phenomenon (Encore) with Jo Piazza

<p>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." <a href="https://www.jopiazza.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Journalist and author Jo Piazza</a> has been following the tradwife culture for the past year and shares her insights.</p><br><p>More about Jo Piazza: She is a bestselling author, podcast creator of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/under-the-influence-with-jo-piazza/id1544171101" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Under the Influence, </a>and award-winning journalist.

1630: A Man Is Not a Financial Plan with Financial Advisor Maggie Johndrow

<p>**Last day to secure a spot (for a while) in <a href="http://www.somoneymembers.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Farnoosh's So Money Members Club</a>**</p><br><p>It’s Valentine’s week, and my birthday week, so I’m kicking things off with a show topic that’s near and dear: Why women need to have their own money. Everyone should have their own money, but this message needs to be emphasized more for women who may sometimes feel it’s not their strength or role to make money or manage money in a relationship.</p><br><p>The impetus for this episode was a New York Times essay entitled <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/08/style/love-letter-newsletter-outsourcing-financial-security.html#:~:text=After%20she%20and%20her%20husband,on%20a%20romantic%20partner%20again." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Never Rely on a Man’s Money</a>. Maggie Smith writes about how her divorce was a shock that led her to a new vow: financial independence. We’ll get into her story and bring on our guest today, <a href="https://www.johndrowwealth.com/maggie-johndrow" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maggie Johndrow</a>, a partner and financial advisor at Johndrow Wealth. She’s one of my favorite advisors, and we share a common love for making women rich. We talk about what she sees in her practice; oftentimes, women come into post-divorce with financial regrets. What are those regrets? What are the absolute facts women need to know about their financial lives, and how can they insist upon more financial transparency and equality in their relationship?</p> <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.

E

<p>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." <a href="https://www.jopiazza.com/">Journalist and author Jo Piazza</a> has been following the tradwife culture for the past year and shares her insights.</p><p>More about Jo Piazza: She is a bestselling author, podcast creator of <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/under-the-influence-with-jo-piazza/id1544171101">Under the Influence, </a>and award-winning journalist.
