How Men Can Support Their Partner's Career and Protect Both Partners' Ambitions

Welcome to the Modern Husbands podcast, where any combination of Dr. Bruce Ross, Christian Sherrill, and Brian Page host national experts who share winning ideas to manage money and the home as a team.

I’m Brian Page, founder of Modern Husbands. Sometimes our listeners want more support than a podcast can give, individual or couple support, which I provide as a Certified Financial Therapist, Accredited Financial Counselor and Fair Play Facilitator. Details can be found at modernhusbands.com.

Today’s episode is the second of two with our guest Stefanie O'Connell. Stephanie is a personal finance expert, speaker, and author of The Ambition Penalty, a book that explores the hidden financial and career costs ambitious women face in the workplace and at home. Through her writing, media appearances, and advocacy, she helps women build wealth, navigate unequal systems, and pursue career success without sacrificing financial independence or personal fulfillment.

In today's second of a two part series with Stefanie, we explore the gender disparities in ambition, pay, and leadership with data-driven insights and practical solutions to foster equity and support women's career growth inside our homes. Enjoy the show.
