The Well Woman Show · 2026-03-13 · 37 min
What does it really mean to “have it all”? For many ambitious women, the phrase has started to feel more like pressure than possibility. We’re expected to excel professionally, be deeply present at home, care for our communities, and somehow still maintain our own well-being. It’s no wonder so many women feel overwhelmed. In this episode of The Well Woman Show, economist and Wharton professor Dr. Corinne Low joins us to unpack the realities behind the myth of having it all. Drawing from research and her bestselling book Having It All , she shares practical ways women can rethink priorities, design careers across different life stages, and make choices aligned with their values. But this conversation isn’t only for individuals. For listeners who lead organizations, teams, or businesses, Dr. Low also shares important insights about how workplace structures can support - or undermine - women’s ability to thrive. When we look at the data, one thing becomes clear: thriving isn’t just about personal resilience. It’s also about creating systems that support real lives.
