Show Notes
Working moms today spend more time with their kids than stay-at-home moms did a generation ago, while men's time on housework has barely changed. No wonder so many of us are exhausted.
My guest, Dr. Corinne Low, is an economist, a Wharton professor, and the author of Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours. She uses data to show where our time really goes and what we can change about it. You'll hear why chores are divided less equally than parenting, how to track your time and your partner's without starting a fight, and why not outsourcing a task means hiring yourself to do it. You'll also learn why most working moms want boundaries more than flexibility.
This episode is a must-listen for any woman who appreciates understanding the data behind how the system actually works, especially for working moms who are doing more than we've ever done before.

From now until the end of the year we add a whole second list on top of everything else and just expect that we'll somehow fit it all in. It's no wonder working moms feel exhausted by the new year!
What if the fight about the dishwasher was never about the dishwasher? Working motherhood is hard, and when you're carrying more than your fair share of the mental load, it's easy to say "I feel like I'm doing everything and you're doing nothing," an argument you've had many times before.
If you've ever tried time blocking and thought "this doesn't work for me", this episode is for you.
Working motherhood is hard, and most of us believe that if we just got through the list, we'd finally feel calm. But what if your to-do list isn't the reason you feel overwhelmed?
What if the woman in the mirror staring back at you doesn't feel like you anymore?
