Listen "Whose career should be paused to raise kids?"

Episode Synopsis

Navigating the careers of two individuals can be difficult as a couple, particularly with kids involved, because there is often an expectation that one person will put their career on hold to raise them. In this episode, we explore the conversations couples need to have about balancing work and family. We discuss the couple whose kids have grown up and moved out, but one person is still the breadwinner, the strain that being unable to switch off from work can cause, and how to decide which partner should take time off from work to raise kids, especially if you’re in similar positions in your career.   Submit your question: Do you have a question you want answered?
