Woman Teaches How To Become A “Traditional Wife”

Womanhood July, 06, 2025

Her work schedule for the day comprises cleaning, cooking, ironing, keeping the house, and maintaining the decorum. She believes feminism is a choice and not something that we all are riveted to- the reason she started The Darling Academy that teaches other women to let them “spoil” their husbands.

Alena revealed how much it is gladdening for her to swap the board meetings with the iron board, and her new transitioned life was all that she wished to have. The Darling Academy inspires women to become like Alena. She, herself, advises to let others become a traditional housewife and spoil their husbands in the same way. Moreover, we’re so familiar with #TradWife.

Also, she has opened her own website, which reads, TradWife, and has also become a new trend in which the ones who manage their home are delighted to share their experiences. Besides, Alena loves to be one of its members, who’s “living like it’s 1959.” Her support for the new movement clearly shows that she is against modern society. Being raised in the 1990s, she is happier with the culture of the past century.

Hanging Out & Hang Ups ♥ shocking, she doesn’t wear 1950s dresses EVERY day ? Happy Sunday friends! Just logged off from Facebook Live Church – so weird doing that from a distance isn’t it! Today they were talking about the safety of home, and how it can help us “become”, it’s the keeper of our good things, and our bad things. Our hopes and dreams, and is the safe space to try new ways of thinking, doing, and just “being”. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’m wondering today, with this lockdown, have you tried anything new? Felt anything different, or have different hopes and dreams for “when this is all over”!? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I’ve made some interesting but life altering changes that for some reason had me “frightened” to do before. I feel like this season has made me BOLDER. Here it is, in black and white – how self-isolation has HELPED me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • De-registered the little from school. We wanted to homeschool from next year, why not now? So excited for this new journey for our family… • Had the time to talk to the Mr about eating a more organic whole foods diet and as locally as possible which is nice, because I love fresh veg and getting them locally is important for the economy and our health. • I’ve broken the habit of wearing foundation to clean up my skin, and also said bye to the hairdryer – and funnily enough I don’t look quite as monstrous as I thought I would. • Said goodbye to hormonal contraceptives – hated taking them for so long but felt stuck in a rut. @jodiebrandman has been helping to dig me out and getting my body in balance, naturally. • Book three is getting the love it deserves, and well, let’s just say it’s a BOLD subject. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Feeling like this season is a way we can all transform and become better at certain things or allow ourselves to explore the changes we’ve always wanted for our lives. It’s definitely helped keep me focused on possibilities instead of fear. ??? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ How about you? I’d love to hear what you are learning, or doing differently…

Being the one who always loved hanging out with friends and having a marketing job in London, she was determined to be successful soon. Now, transitioning from a skillful job to becoming a housewife and a mom has given her a new identity. She feels to be the CEO of her company. Instead of just commemorating the beauty of homemaking, Alena learned that she might as well go through it.

She explained: “It’s harnessing the best about what made Britain great during that time where you could leave your front door open and know that you were safe, and you knew your neighbors in the street. We can have that again; things are changing so fast. We don’t even know the identity of our country anymore.”

With this new acceptance, she has also written several articles on her website with topics like ‘Your husband should always come first’, ‘ladylike ways to deal with sneezes and sniffles’ and ‘how to be elegant in the morning’. She prefers the past culture, and now, it makes her feel like an outsider.

Alena realized that she was born to be a mother and a wife. The old shows of the 1950s and 60s attract her the most. Being grown up in a single-parent household, her mother had to go out for her work. Her situation was nothing to write home about, so she hated her mother’s work and decided not to have hers the same.

Surprisingly, her husband is also very traditional, so it helps her stick to her idea. Her husband promised to make her feel secure and take proper care. With the world in lockdown, Alena admits that this is when a homemaker can show her love, grace and aim to be honored as a perfect housewife.
