    Working Mom Life (As The Breadwinner) Part 2 of 2

    Times have changed, but have our attitudes shifted toward working mothers?
    In part two of our interview with Meghan Dwyer, Financial Planner and host of the podcast Money Isn't Scary, we continue unpacking the challenges for female breadwinners in a society that’s still too close to our Disney Fairytales.
    Bottom Line: while each partnership is unique, childcare and emotional support still fall disproportionately to women in heterosexual relationships.
    In this episode, we examine:
    How men can support their partners [7:07] Steps female breadwinners can take to decompress without putting a dent in their budget [3:56] How employers can take a stand to support women in the workplace [19:48] Read all the show notes, get Meghan’s links, and find out more at https://ahkcoaching.com/podcast

    Today we have a no-fluff conversation with Financial Planner and Podcast Host Meghan Dwyer about juggling career, family, and the nuances that come with being a female breadwinner.
    Money isn't scary, but we all have stories that we tell ourselves about our self-worth and ability to handle finances. For many women these stories are deeply embedded, negative, and reinforced throughout their lives.
    In part one of this two-part series, we explore:
    The patriarchal attitudes that still define women's role in the workplace and home The emotions that women feel as the primary breadwinner How to process those emotions healthily Read all the show notes, get Meghan’s links, and find out more at https://ahkcoaching.com/podcast

Adam has a great perspective

Adam’s thoughts on money and relationships are really insightful and helpful!

Pretty good but not the most helpful

I’m sure this guy really does know his stuff, but I don’t think he has communicated it in the best ways. I feel like the Christian elements of this don’t translate to those of us who aren’t into that. No judgement, but it made it hard for me to take this seriously and felt like the conversation in the episode about “heated” conversations got way off topic.

Great podcast!

So glad I stumbled on this podcast! I just listened to the Rental Secrets episode with Justin Pogue. It was really insightful. I’ve rented out a room from a friend to save money before, and I’m so glad I did. Adam does a great job delivering tons of value with his guests - highly recommend!
