Isabel Brown: The Corporate Ladder, the Baby Carriage, and the American Dream
Gen Z is increasingly questioning whether climbing the corporate ladder is worth sacrificing the opportunity to build a family along the way. As young women rethink the allure of the glittery corner office, traditional career expectations, and whether they can afford to start families, Daily Wire host and cultural commentator Isabel Brown joins Karin Lips to challenge the idea that professional success must come at the expense of marriage and motherhood.Karin and Isabel discuss why Gen Z is rejecting conventional definitions of success, the growing divide between the girlboss and tradwife movements, and how young women can pursue meaningful careers without sacrificing motherhood. Isabel pushes back against anti-motherhood messaging and the notion that having children is financially out of reach. Reflecting on her own unconventional journey from aspiring surgeon to conservative commentator, she shares how the mentorship of Charlie Kirk helped her discover a new calling and why young women shouldn't be afraid to forge their own paths.Join our community: https://enlightenedwomen.org/Follow NeW on Instagram: @enlightenedwomenFollow NeW on X: @NeWNetworkFollow Karin Lips on Instagram: @karin.lipsFollow Karin Lips on X: @klips

What does it mean to be truly feminine in a modern world?NeW Media Relations Coordinator Emma DeGrado steps behind the microphone at NeW’s annual Leadership Retreat in Nashville to guest host a conversation with Hannah Brusven, founder and editor-in-chief of The Swish.Hannah shares how a college blog about elegance grew into a quarterly print magazine dedicated to truth, goodness, beauty, and what she calls “classical femininity.” She explains why The Swish is embracing the “analog renaissance,” why the publication intentionally limits advertising, and why women are looking for something deeper than the fast-paced, trend-driven content that dominates much of modern women’s media.Emma and Hannah discuss what classical femininity actually means. Hannah shares why she focuses on character and virtue rather than labels like “modesty" and how preparing to welcome her first daughter has changed the way she thinks about her work and its legacy.

Dr. Catherine Pakaluk: America’s Baby Bust is About Demand, Not Dollars
Why are fewer Americans choosing to have children—and why are families having fewer overall? Dr. Catherine Pakaluk joins Karin Lips to unpack the cultural and economic forces behind today’s declining birth rate.Dr. Pakaluk challenges the idea that America’s baby bust is mainly a financial issue, arguing instead that it’s a demand problem. Younger generations just don’t see children as part of “living their best life.” Understanding this shift means looking beyond policy to lifestyle inflation and changing priorities around career, freedom, and identity—dynamics she explores in her book, Hannah’s Children, through interviews with 55 women, each with five or more children.She weighs in on the nuances and false dichotomies beneath the popular “tradwife vs. girlboss” debate, offering a thoughtful look at modern trade-offs, cultural expectations, and what it means to build a meaningful life in the twenty-first century.Join our community: https://enlightenedwomen.org/ Follow NeW on Instagram: @enlightenedwomenFollow NeW on X: @NeWNetworkFollow Karin Lips on Instagram: @karin.lipsFollow Karin Lips on X: @klipsFollow Dr. Catherine Pakaluk on Instagram: @crpakalukFollow Dr. Catherine Pakaluk on X: @CRPakaluk
