If you're a working mom who feels like you're constantly falling short both in your career and at home, this episode will change how you think about why. Dr. Corinne Low joins Melody to discuss "the squeeze" — that period when caregiving demands and professional growth peak at the exact same time — and why so many women end up making permanent sacrifices to survive what's actually a temporary season. We also get into what you can do to redefine success during this period, from renegotiating the invisible labor in your household to thinking about your time like an economist.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  • The invisible iceberg beneath every "equal" partnership that most couples never talk about
  • Think your career is over after 40? Here’s why your chance of promotion increases with age
  • An economist's trick for figuring out which of your daily tasks you should stop doing entirely
