Tradwives aren’t just a vibe, they’re a business model, and it was feminism that gave them the tools to build brands in the first place.

In this sharp and emotionally intelligent episode, Dr. Victoria Lynn Schmidt unpacks the billion-dollar rise of “modest” influencer culture - where femininity is soft, subservience is styled, and patriarchy is earning passive income. From Jungian archetypes to Judith Butler’s gender-as-performance, we look at how conservative femininity became not just aspirational, but sponsored.

If you’ve ever wondered why “quiet wives” go viral - while feminist creators get shadowbanned - this one’s for you.

Is your spiritual practice just self-care - or is it protest in disguise? Feminist Mystisicm.

In this episode, Dr. Victoria Lynn Schmidt reclaims the Divine Feminine from the grip of Instagram aesthetics and repositions her where she belongs: as a force of political, spiritual, and mystical resistance.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed for your depth, mocked for your rituals, or quietly enraged by what passes for “feminine energy” in capitalism — this one’s for you.

We explore how speculative fiction, Black feminist thought, and everyday rest rituals invite us to dream new structures into being. Drawing on the work of bell hooks, Ruth Levitas, and Octavia Butler, this episode reframes imagination not as escape, but as resistance.

Because dreaming is feminist labor, too. And sometimes, the most revolutionary question is: What if...?
