What if we've been lied to about feminism? What if the most radical act in today's world isn't joining a movement that is meant to destroy women? January Donovan, founder of The Woman School and mother of eight, challenges everything we think we know about modern femininity in this profoundly honest conversation.

January shares her journey from insecure Filipino immigrant to becoming a mentor for women worldwide. After experiencing two abortions as a lost teenager, she found a mentor who gave her specific homework assignments that transformed her life—from making her bed first thing every morning to rising at 4:30 AM to study. These disciplines became the foundation of her approach to teaching women the forgotten art of femininity.

The conversation explores why so many women today feel unfulfilled despite unprecedented freedom. January breaks down her "fulfillment formula" that includes having a vision, designing every arena of life (not just career), and developing oneself daily. She argues that modern culture's emphasis on external metrics of success has led women away from the interior strength that creates true satisfaction.

Perhaps most provocatively, January challenges the notion that home management is beneath an ambitious woman. "If I built a million-dollar business and my home was chaotic, I would not be happy," she explains. Rather than seeing traditional skills as oppressive, she reframes them as foundational to creating order, peace, and beauty in one's immediate environment.

This isn't about returning to the 1950s—January herself has built a multi-million dollar business while raising eight children. Instead, it's about reclaiming the power of discipline, intentionality, and excellence in every arena of life. As she puts it, "A feminist walks into a room saying 'look at me,' while a real woman walks in asking 'how can I bring value to everyone else?'"

Whether you consider yourself traditional, progressive, or somewhere in between, this conversation will challenge your assumptions about what it means to be a truly empowered woman in today's confused world.
