Modern Homemaking: De-influencing Homemaking, Pursuing Reality, & Contentment

Social media has created a polished and (dare-we-say) expensive version of homemaking that often feels impossible to live up to.

In this episode, we unpack the gap between the Instagram stay-at-home mom and real life—why so much homemaking content feels performative, discouraging, or disconnected from reality (and no, we’re not just talking about tradwife role-play).

We talk honestly about money, family size, healthy living, and whether the “American dream” even feels attainable anymore. Then we close with practical and spiritual ways to step off the comparison treadmill, reconnect with real life, and find contentment where you actually are.

This is a rant, a reality check, and a reminder that social media is not real life—and it was never meant to be.
