10 Years of Breaking Money Silence®: The Original Podcast
Unleash Your True Value™
A Breaking Money Silence® Podcast
In this special episode, I announce the ending of my podcast journey and replay the original episode originally published in January 2016. My first guest was Lauran Star, a friend and colleague that helped me launch the program. The original format centered around a money myth provided by the guest and the conversation was about how to bust that myth wide open. The myth Lauran and I explore is “Men should be primary breadwinners.”
It’s fun to look back and see how far the show has come. My hosting and the sound quality improved, and my first guest went on to get her Ph.D. and publish several books, the newest one coming out early next year.
Today 45% of women earn as much or more than their male spouses and it truly is a myth that men are the primary breadwinners in most homes. Tune in to the original Breaking Money Silence® podcast and celebrate with me how far women have come in earning and controlling their wealth and destinies.
Listen to this podcast and discover:
Why there has been a shift in who is earning more in the family
The impact of women’s increasing economic power on their relationships
The pressure men get to be providers, often guised as a joke
How modern families are moving toward earning partnerships
The challenges women face in the breadwinning role
