Women entered the workforce. We got the degrees. We built careers. So why do so many of us still feel overwhelmed, exhausted, and like we're falling behind? In this episode of Question Everything, economist, professor, and author Corinne Low helps us unpack the hidden economics of modern womanhood, from invisible labor and unequal leisure time to the surprising role our relationships play in our ability to become who we want to be. Corinne and Danielle explore what "having it all" actually means, why choosing a partner may be one of the most important decisions we'll ever make, and whether women are still making trades inside a social contract we never agreed to. Because this conversation isn't really about chores, marriage, or even economics. It's about a bigger question: What does becoming look like for us—and what are we willing to trade to get there? In this episode, you'll learn:
Why women still perform trillions of dollars of unpaid labor every year
What 400 extra hours a year could mean for our careers, health, creativity, and happiness
Why equality at work didn't automatically create equality at home
The hidden reason so many ambitious women feel perpetually exhausted
Why Corinne says choosing a partner is one of the most important economic decisions we'll ever make
The surprising quality that's sexier than "sexy" in a long-term relationship
How invisible labor affects ambition, career growth, and self-worth
Why resentment often starts with time, not money
The trap many couples fall into when one person's goals take priority over the other's
Corinne's argument that a happy marriage requires both people to be self-actualized
Why "having it all" may be the wrong question entirely
The tradeoffs every woman is making (whether she realizes it or not)
How modern relationships can either accelerate or limit who we're becoming
A question Danielle couldn't stop thinking about: What would you do with ten extra weeks of your life every year?
