Being the “Breadwinner” and Out-Earning Your Partner as a Female

My partner and I have this running joke about who's going to retire the other person. He always jokes that I'm his retirement plan because he sees the business that I'm building, and he is so incredibly proud of it. In 1980, only 13% of women made the same or more than their husbands in terms of their annual income. Today those numbers are increasing, but it's still relatively uncommon for females to be the breadwinner in the relationship. I feel lucky to have a relationship where we mutually support each other's success, but I know this isn't the case for everyone. That's why I felt inspired to discuss this on the podcast. I don't want any woman out there holding back their potential for a man. You have so much power and potential to change the world, your own life, and your family's life.    In this episode, you'll discover...   What made me feel called to discuss this topic My mindset shifts around female wealth and power How we, as women, can worry about outshining our partner Holding back your potential and why it needs to stop now Thank you so much for listening.
