Getting Some Help Around the Damn House
The mental load. The second shift. The wife penalty. The motherhood tax. You didn’t sign up for a full-time job after your full-time job—and if your home is more like a second workplace than a sanctuary, it’s time to end the unfair burden of gender inequality once and for all. In this bingeable podcast, join Kelly Hollingsworth, former hedge fund manager turned leadership coach, as she exposes the hidden costs of domestic inequality—and shows you how to fix it. Through her groundbreaking “Good Guide Leadership” method, you’ll build a High Profit Home where everyone pulls their weight—and you finally get the peace--and the paycheck--you deserve. Because equality at home isn’t just fair. It’s also the foundation for a killer career.
