[MOM CHAT] The Motherhood Identity Crisis + The Truth Behind the "Tradwife" Trigger
•
Kacia Ghetmiri
In this powerful and deeply validating mom chat, Kacia sits down with her friend and podcaster Lindsay Roselle to unpack the identity crisis so many women experience in early motherhood — and the surprising truth behind why “tradwife culture” hits such a nerve for millennial women.
What You’ll Hear:
- The “identity rupture” that happens in early motherhood — and why no one warns you about it
- Why ambitious women feel paralyzed between wanting to create and needing to make money
- How Lindsay navigates being a mom, a breadwinner, and rebuilding her identity in real time
- The tension between slowing down + still wanting success
- The actual reason tradwife culture feels so triggering for so many millennial women
- Why we compare ourselves to who we used to be — and how to stop
- The myth that success requires busyness
- Motherhood vs. parenting: what shifts when your kids get older
- How our own inner child shapes the way we parent
- What Lindsay hopes her boys remember about her ambition and presence
Quotes:
- “There’s an identity rupture in motherhood that nobody prepares you for.”
- “Just because I don’t have clarity right now doesn’t mean it’s not coming.”
- “Most of us aren’t afraid of failure — we’re afraid of succeeding at the wrong thing.”
- “The urgency we feel isn’t truth. It’s conditioning.”
- “Tradwife culture isn’t triggering because it’s anti-feminist… it’s because we’re exhausted.”
- “Your ambition didn’t disappear. It just has to coexist with motherhood now.”
