In this episode, I’m diving into something deeply personal and incredibly important: the ways women have been left behind in conversations around health, autonomy, and identity. The traditional medical world has systematically excluded women—not just in research, but in how care is delivered, diagnosed, and dismissed. It’s frustrating, it’s heartbreaking, and it’s time we talked about it.
I’m breaking down the growing movements that are trying to fill in the gaps: what they get right, where they fall short, and why they matter. We’re going to take a close look at the MAHA movement, which centers on reclaiming holistic health and empowering women to take their well-being into their own hands.
I’m also going to unpack the rise of the “Trad Wife” movement, where some women are embracing ultra-traditional gender roles. What’s behind this shift? Why are more and more women turning away from modern ideals, and what does that say about the support systems we have (or don’t have) in place?
Importantly, I’m asking the big question: where do we go from here? Whether these ideas feel empowering, concerning, or confusing to you, this conversation is about understanding the why behind the movements—and imagining a future where women feel fully seen, heard, and supported.
