Episode 65: How To Own Your Role As A Female Main Earner

We’ve come along way since women were given equal rights but despite this, we still don’t seem to have worked out how to navigate the dynamic of a woman being the main earner in their household.

The earning capabilities and responsibilities of women have shifted but attitudes and understanding of what it means to be a female main earners haven’t moved as quickly. If you’re a female main earner (or planning to be) and struggling with how to fully embrace your role then this podcast is for you.

In today’s episode my guest is Jenny Garratt OBE, an Award Winning Career Coach, Leadership Trainer, Speaker & Author. She is well known for her work empowering working women, particularly female main earners, through her book Rocking Your Role.

Whether you’re a female main earner by choice or chance, I know you’re going to get so much from today’s conversation. And even if you’re not the female breadwinner in your family what we explore today will be so powerful.

In this episode Jenny shares:

Some of the key challenges faced by women who are main earners
The three key topics you need to address to own your role as a main earner
How to balance the dynamic of being the boss at work and feeling like you need to be at home too
The importance of having ME (Main Earner) time
How to rock your role as a main earner so you can thrive at work and at home

Oh my word, I didn’t realise how much I needed to listen to this podcast! My MIL referred to my boyfriend as a “kept man” because I was the main earner and owned my own home… 5 years on were still together, he has a career as a tree surgeon which he loves, however I’m still the main earner and I can tell it’s still unsettling for them and I didn’t realise until now that there was this element of guilt I carried with me, and possibly a slight frustration towards my boyfriend.
