Timmerie explores what actually brings women joy, and it’s NOT what modern feminism is selling.

 

The Big Lie: “Empowerment” Through Motherhood Rejection 

 

International Women’s Day rolls around, and social media is flooded with the same old messaging: women are "empowered" by abortion, contraception, surrogacy, and even daycare. Timmerie argues that these aren’t liberating at all; in fact, the greatest injustice against women is the "destruction and exploitation of motherhood." 

 

Psychotherapist Erica Komisar (who’s not even Catholic, mind you) has been putting out research that proves what we already know deep down: kids need their moms, especially in their early years. Yet, this truth is wildly unpopular in the corporate-driven culture.

 

Wait… Women Are Happier Doing “Domestic” Things? 

 

If social media trends are any indicator, women are rediscovering joy in the very things that used to be considered "burdens": knitting, homemaking, cooking, homesteading. There’s a deep craving for a return to home and family life, even if the world still tries to make it seem regressive.

 

Science Agrees: Moms at Home Are Happier (Even If It’s Hard) 

 

Studies from the Institute for Family Studies and other sources show that stay-at-home moms experience higher life satisfaction and rarely regret their decision, even though being home is demanding. Sure, secular studies try to spin it like being at home is isolating, but what they leave out is that these same women report deep fulfillment. Motherhood is tough, but it’s also full of meaning.

 

Timmerie, a mom of (almost) three, totally gets it. The stress is real (toddlers are relentless), but the reward is deeper than any job title. God doesn’t promise easy, but He does promise abundance. That abundance is often tied to embracing the maternal call, whether it’s biological or spiritual motherhood.

 

So… What’s the Secret to Women’s Happiness? 

 

Living in line with God’s design. Motherhood, whether physical, spiritual, or vocational, is at the core of a woman’s identity. Even women in STEM or corporate roles thrive most when they can nurture others in some way. That’s why we see more women gravitating toward careers like teaching, nursing, and caregiving. It’s built into their very souls.

 

As St. Edith Stein put it, “A woman’s soul is fashioned as a place in which other souls unfold.” 

 

The culture tells women that happiness comes from career success, independence, and rejecting traditional roles. The actual data: more importantly, women’s lived experiences, say otherwise. True joy comes from embracing who women were made to be.

 

Bottom line: Ladies, your deepest fulfillment isn’t in fighting against your nature; it’s in embracing it.
