Ballerina Farm: A Secret Epidural And A ...

MAMAMIA PODCASTS
About this episode

If you think Ballerina Farm means pigs with point shoes and tutus 1. that's really cute and 2. you're very wrong (unfortunately).

Today we are diving into the world of ‘Trad Wives’ and more specifically the world of Ballerina Farm which is both a brand and a woman. Hannah Neeleman is a mumfluencer, a mother of eight children and has amassed a huge 10 million followers on Instagram who follow her literally churning butter and collecting eggs from her chickens. Seems wholesome right? Wrong (kinda).

Her charges include competing in a beauty pageant just two weeks postpartum, pretending to be poor but owning a $30,000 stove and a birthday present which is the stuff of nightmares (but that was technically her husband’s fault). We unpack all.

Plus, more of your lazy gewl stories.
