S20E11: Beyond the Paycheck: Unpacking the Dynamics Between Successful Women and Their Partners Who Earn Less

Hey lady! This week Terri and Dr. Dom tackle the sometimes-tricky subject of partnering while out earning their significant other. Typically, in heteronormative relationships, there are assigned gender roles by which each cis-gendered sex operates and sometimes defines their worth. But, what if those roles reverse? What if suddenly the woman is now the breadwinner, how does such a dynamic impact the health and success of a romantic relationship? Dr. Dom and Terri offer various perspectives to help offer insight on ways to navigate when you’re the high-earning individual in your relationship.

Lady, we know that you work hard and you deserve to enjoy the spoils of your efforts. To do so with some style and grace, the dynamic duo chop it up about all of the ways that not only help you navigate dating while also keeping your financial wholeness intact. Regardless of how you move, please remember the best advice is always to mind your business and do YOU!

We know this is a juicy topic and we want to hear from you! Head over to our Patreon where you can find like-minded women so you can get the real girl chat. We meet in our private Slack channel to dish our thoughts and members receive other perks as well. Don’t miss out!
