My guest today is Lane Scott, Catholic homeschooling mother of five, writer, and author of the Matriarch Goals Substack. We spoke about Lane's beautiful essay for the American Mind, titled 'The Mother's Gauntlet', on the challenges stay-at-home mothers face in forging an alternative path for their families. We also spoke about the tradwife social media phenomenon, and why conservatives are now obliged to act counter-culturally.
In the extended part of the episode we spoke about the practicalities of creating alternative communities.
