neither girlboss or tradwife; just a girl trying to live a faithful life as a wife, mom, and pro-family thinker / author Lead Like Jael / host of @rtfertility
How does a tyrant-killing Israelite woman of no known prominence drive a tent peg through “girl-boss feminism” and the “tradwife” movement?
LEAD LIKE JAEL is out TODAY.
*Correction: Italy passes a pro-family law that protects the maternal bond and ensures children aren’t commercially separated from their biological mother 💕
All forms of surrogacy, even when traveling abroad, are now prohibited for Italian citizens.
“I only wanted you because you were a girl and the right kind of healthy. I destroyed the other 19 human embryos that your father and I created.”
Don’t worry, it’s “not eugenics,” it’s only science.
The same forces that made us too materialistic to have kids are now promising us designer babies through embryo selection.
Don’t be fooled—this is not a solution to the birth rate crisis. It’s the next stage of the problem. 🧵🪡
Under the Romney Family Security Act 2.0, Brooke and Billy would be eligible to receive $700 per month to care for their twin daughters. A pro-Life America is a pro-family America.
America is hurtling towards a demographic disaster.
Our birth rates have been declining for decades. In 2023, they hit an all-time record low.
President Trump ran on a "new baby boom." This week, the New York Times covered the plan to help deliver it.

"Dr. Roberts, I just want to thank you for your words today, for your courage, for your leadership. It has never been more apparent to me that you are the right man for this job. You have the courage, you have the godly character and you have
When I was in elementary school, my mom started going blind. Retinitis pigmentosa. No family history. No treatments. No cure.
I got lucky. She didn’t. It led me to build @OrchidInc so my baby —and everyone else's—gets to win the genetic lottery—avoid blindness— and hundreds of
The solution isn't just more babies. It's more FAMILIES.
Birthrates for married couples have actually been mostly stable since the 1990s. (Save for a modest decrease from 2016-2020).
The birthrate collapse is driven not just by fewer kids per marriage, but by fewer marriages.
The girl-boss is dead. Long live the tradwife!
The popularity of the tradwife movement proved that women still crave a meaningful vision for their life rooted in home and family--but what does this look like in our technological age?
Coming Spring 2026 :)
