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.

The pandemic has made this blatantly obvious, as children have been home more, and men have still left women to traditional gender roles, especially with young kids. We’ve made strides since the 1950s, but gender equity is still elusive.

What’s the path forward? Come explore it with us.

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]

Meghan believes that knowledge and understanding of personal finance is crucial to live confident and empowered lives.

Meghan started the Money Isn’t Scary podcast in 2020 to help women unpack the deeply embedded stories we have been telling ourselves and reframe our mindset so that we can begin to spend, save and act in alignment with our intentions. Only when we are truly in tune with our relationship with money, can we begin to be our best selves.
