102 | Am I a Trad Wife?

from Wellness Farm Chat · host Brooke Perwal

What is a trad wife anyway — and why is everyone suddenly talking about it?In this episode of Wellness Farm Chat, I dive into the internet’s favorite (and most misunderstood) label: the trad wife. We talk about where the term came from, what it actually means, what people think it means, and where my life as a homesteading mom of five overlaps… and where it definitely doesn’t.From milking cows and raising meat birds to homeschooling, postpartum life, and choosing to stay home — this is a funny, honest, and non-preachy conversation about motherhood, traditional roles, and why real life looks nothing like an aesthetic reel.Whether you’re curious, confused, supportive, skeptical, or just here for the chaos — this one’s for you.I’m proud to partner with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Better Basics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, a Canadian company creating FLOUR that is safe, sustainable, and family-friendly .
