In Part 2 of this series with TikTok sensation and childfree Latina, Yoreim Virella, we continue our deep dive into the complex realities of modern motherhood: the societal neglect of new mothers, the devaluation of women beyond motherhood, and the systemic challenges faced by parents. All of these truths are conveniently obscured by our fast-paced, capitalist culture.
We also take a critical look at the trad-wife aesthetic that's currently flooding social media, exposing this dangerous propaganda that lures women into believing that traditional roles of wife and mother lead to an easy, carefree life. It’s time to talk about the truth behind the so-called soft life, because what truly makes a "soft life" is self-awareness. And that's something 80% of people lack.
How can we do better? Start by recognizing the harm of hustle culture, and the toxic individualism that’s driving us apart as a society. And learn to heal. Because we ALL have healing to do if we're going to achieve a soft life.
To lighten things up, we also get into the hilarious divide between childfree pet-owners and childfree non-pet-owners. Are pets a status symbol for the childfree?
