Our Escape From Trad Wife Life

What happens when a “well-trained wife” begins questioning everything she was taught? I sit down with Tia Levings, bestselling author of “A Well-Trained Wife” and “I Belong to Me”, for an honest conversation about marriage, motherhood, faith, patriarchy, identity, and rebuilding a life after fundamentalism. Two former traditional wives. Two very different religious worlds. One conversation about what happens when women begin choosing themselves.
