#63 Ballerina Farm · The Poetic Truth Behind Perfect Motherhood

A Think First Podcast with Jim Detjen

About

A Juilliard ballerina. A JetBlue heir. Eight kids. And a farm in Utah with 20 million followers.

Ballerina Farm is wholesome, nostalgic, and almost too perfect. But is it empowerment through motherhood—or a carefully curated illusion?

In this episode of Think First, Jim Detjen traces the rise of Hannah and Daniel Neeleman, the “queen of the tradwife” controversy, and why their story is a case study in gaslighting, poetic truth, and the way social media edits reality into fantasy.

Not a paid endorsement—but yes, even the packaging nails it.
