In Julia Haart's world, short hemlines and plunging necklines resonate with freedom and fashion. After getting married at the tender age of 19, she got caught up in endless traditions and cultural norms that caged her and her creative instincts. By 2013, she was ready to pack up and set out on a journey that would go on to become one of the most inspirational success stories. In Netflix's 'My Unorthodox Life', Haart makes an earnest effort to document her life and those of her loved ones.

On the side, here are a few titles you can binge on the streaming platform: 'Virgin River' Season 3, 'Black Summer' Season 2, 'Never Have I Ever' Season 1, and 'Atypical'.

Plot

At the center of 'My Unorthodox Life' is fashion mogul Julia Haart and her four kids Batsheva, Shlomo, Aron, and Miriam. One can expect a surprise appearance from husband Silvio Scaglia.

The official synopsis reads: "This series centers around the personal and professional life of fashion mogul Julia Haart - former member of an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community turned CEO of Elite World Group. Since taking the reins of a global talent empire, Haart has been on a mission to revolutionize the industry from the inside out - all while being a mother of four. Her children include a TikToker, an app designer, a lawyer, and a high schooler torn between two conflicting cultures, and Haart helps them reconcile their Orthodox upbringings with the modern world. 'My Unorthodox Life' takes you on a journey through Julia Haart's untamed, unpredictable, and unorthodox life."
