Are we trad wives now? Questioning Australia’s existence, and what it means to be a West Village girl

In today’s episode of Note 2 Self, Saskia and Cat explore a few trad wife activities they’re surprisingly open to—think weekend markets and romantic picnics. As always, the conversation spirals into the absurd, including the conspiracy theory that Australia isn’t real, a nostalgic dive into Aaahh!!! Real Monsters and The OC, and a breakdown of The Cut’s recent article, “It Must Be Nice to Be a West Village Girl.”It’s a dense one, packed with pop culture commentary, niche references, and existential musings. Consider this your personal invite to spiral with us.
