Episode Synopsis


Today I’m joined by Bethanie Baynes, a tireless women’s advocate and recognized leader on the topic of breadwinning women and host of the podcast, “Working Wife, Happy Life.” A proud breadwinning woman herself, Bethanie has created awareness, built community, and provided resources for women who are the sole or primary earners for their households.In this conversation, we dive into what it means to be a breadwinner and how societal constructs limit women in not seeing themselves in this role. We explore the question of “how to manage it all” (or not!), and Bethanie passes on some great advice on how to set boundaries and signal to people how we can best be utilized both at work and at home. Importantly, she reminds us of the power in giving ourselves and others grace. And given Bethanie’s own experience and leading a community of 3,000 breadwinning women at Google, she offers tips on how to navigate bucking societal norms in taking on different roles within a household and encourages us to lean into resistance and difficult conversations.I loved having you on, Bethanie! Such great wisdom to share with all of us. And thank you for all you do to break down societal constructs to help women AND men step into the roles that are most powerful for them and support them in building fulfilling lives on their terms.Resources MentionedFind Bethanie:Bethanie's Website: https://www.bethaniebaynes.com/Bethanie's Podcast, Working Wife, Happy Life: https://www.bethaniebaynes.com/workingwifehappylifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bethaniebaynes/Twitter: https://twitter.com/bethaniebaynes?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethaniebaynes/?hl=enThanks for Listening!If you liked this episode, please rate, review, and share the episode.
