Alex Clark wants more babies -- but she's still single at 33 - Salon and Rebecca Watson (Skepchick)
Mar 12, 2026 Standing Room Only with Amanda Marcotte
Turning Point USA wellness influencer Alex Clark regularly urges her female audience to get married young, quit their jobs and have lots of babies. There’s just one problem: she’s an unmarried, childless working woman herself. In this episode, I take a closer look at Clark’s podcast, Culture Apothecary, and her role headlining events for TPUSA. Behind the lifestyle advice and wellness aesthetic is a larger political project—one that mixes anti-science health claims, pro-natalist messaging and close ties to Republican politicians.
I’m joined by Rebecca Watson of skepchick.org, who shares how Clark, and other podcasters like her, are normalizing ideas that could shape the future of women’s rights and reproductive policy. Find her on YouTube here: / @rebeccawatson
