Is the 9-5 workday undermining women’s financial security? Together with Katie Vye from Better With Money, we challenge outdated norms and dissect the gender pay gap that limits women's financial independence.
Our conversation sheds light on the reality of caregiving roles and societal expectations, revealing how they hinder career progression and pension contributions.
Katie brings her expertise from Better With Money to highlight the urgent need for women to take control of their financial futures and offers practical advice to navigate these systemic barriers.
In a world where women earn significantly less than their male counterparts, particularly in high-profile sectors, we address the invisible burdens of balancing work with family life, such as the overwhelming costs associated with childcare. This episode serves as a call to action for structural changes and encourages open dialogues with employers about flexible working conditions.
Our discussion explores how societal stereotypes about gender roles in finances are gradually evolving.
The episode addresses critical issues like pension entitlements during divorce and the impact of menopause on women’s careers. By advocating for open financial discussions in relationships, we aim to foster financial confidence and independence, empowering women and enriching their partnerships.
