Why Women Can’t—and Shouldn’t—Do It All
In this episode of Ew, Gross, Tess and Kim dive into the unrealistic expectations placed on women to "balance it all"—from career and family to self-care and societal pressure. They break down the roots of the work-life balance myth, how it evolved into a burden rather than a benefit, and why companies need to step up with policies that truly support employees instead of shifting the blame to individuals.
The conversation gets candid and funny as Tess and Kim share personal stories about the grind culture, multitasking myths, and the glorification of being “so busy.” They explore the importance of defining what having it all means to you and creating a life that aligns with your purpose—not someone else’s impossible standard.
If you’re tired of being told to "just manage better," this episode is for you. Tune in for actionable insights on advocating for workplace changes, setting boundaries, and reshuffling priorities in a way that feels right for you.
