Girl Boss vs. Trad Wife: Forced to Choose?

Are you a “girl boss” or a “trad wife”? Maybe somewhere in between? Seems like society is pressuring women to pick a side instead of learning to “Lead Like Jael.”

Emma Waters, a policy analyst at The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Technology and the Human Person, joins “Problematic Women” us to discuss “seven timeless principles for today’s women of faith,” principles she details in her new book, “Lead Like Jael.”

For decades, the feminist movement has lied to women, selling “boss babe” corporate work as the “American dream” instead of being in the home and fostering the next generation.

On the flip side, many women are told they can’t be anything more than a stay-at-home mom. It’s important to follow the calling God has put on our hearts, use discernment, be guided by courage and convictions, and equip ourselves to make an impact in our homes and the world, Waters contends.

On today’s episode, we also discuss the importance of advocating for women’s health and the progress being made in conservative spaces on Capitol Hill. It’s not taboo to talk about the fact that birth control has been prescribed to millions of women in America as a pill Band-Aid, one-size-fits-all, and now we are in an infertility crisis. Women deserve root-cause care, and we are talking about it on the show.

Enjoy the conversation and pick up your copy of “Lead Like Jael” wherever books are sold.
