Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker
Old world, an old soul, green thumb, home cook...these are all phrases I used to describe myself before I came across the term ”homemaker”. On this podcast, I share what I’ve learned through my journey as a home cook, gardener, and keeper of the home, all while maintaining a full-time work schedule.

In this episode, I’m diving into the uncomfortable but necessary topic of money—something that’s often avoided at family dinners, but crucial to our well-being. I’ll share how my own financial beliefs have evolved, from being frugal to realizing that investing and working with financial advisors have been key to securing our future. With eye-opening statistics and practical tips, I’ll show you why managing your money wisely, budgeting, and seeking professional help aren’t just smart—they’re essential for building a financially stable and fulfilling life.

In this episode, I’m taking a bit of a detour from our planned content to share something real and relevant to my life right now—a little "toil before treat" strategy for tackling chores and creating space in our homes before we dive into holiday decorating. I usually wait until after Thanksgiving to decorate, but with the stress of the season and the comfort I’ve felt seeing my parents’ festive home, I’m itching to pull out the twinkling lights. However, I’m making myself earn it!

Please SHARE and REVIEW the show! In this episode of Untraditionally Traditional: A Millennial Homemaker, I dive into the toxic glamorization of stress and hustle culture and how it impacts our daily lives. Sharing my own experience juggling multiple jobs and side hustles, I reflect on how the "do it all" mindset was pushing me to a not-great place. Now, I’m embracing the idea of slowing down, creating space, and prioritizing what truly matters—because success isn’t about how many plates you can spin but about finding balance and peace.
