Young 30-something woman coexists successfully in her multiple roles as wife, mother, and business owner because she is, contrary to society's labeling obsession, capable of being more than one thing.
Excellent excellent piece Violet! I hope I hope I hope as well for my daughter.
I find it so wild that this is the new perceived division of women – that the rise of the homestead/tradwife on Instagram has presented this revisionist history on the role of women. I agree entirely that we contain multitudes and shouldn't be boxed in – and I also wish we could create language that didn't support this division – ie; a 'working mother' shouldn't be for a mum that works, because all mums work, one is just paid – or a 'stay-at-home-mum', or 'maternity leave' or 'career woman'. I swear motherhood needs a rebrand.
Thank you for the kind words 🩷 and would love this comment twice if I could! Agreed with you on every single front 👏🏼 It’s so confounding — no one likes being boxed in by labels. Sometimes they’re fun for identifying with generalized notions, but the whole discourse rn is mind-boggling! I second this petition for a rebrand
Oh my, another favorite! 🫶Love this…I too hope sweet Joni finds peace, more love and less judgement in our world. With you and Austin, she has a very good chance.🥹❤️
Gosh, there's no way for me to truly express how much I love this. I'm not a Mum, but those labels come for all of us women, regardless. Thank you for writing so eloquently about this BS. It was laugh-out-loud funny and so moving. Here's to the next generation being wiser than us! And LOL at those male terms—such a funny observation.
Thank you so much for this sweet comment! I had to water down my fuming before making it a bit more lightheaded and humorous — my first draft was rough so I’m glad the final landed as intended 😂🩷

haha don’t worry.. your fuming came across beautifully, but it was also very witty! My favourite type of takedown! :D xx
This was so well written!! I was also peeing in my pants about “boyboss” 😂
LOL I wanna know why they don't call boys Boy Bosses!
