356: Almost Having It All with Dr. Corinne Low
Episode 356
Friday, 13 March, 2026
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.In this episode, you'll discover:Why you feel more overwhelmed than ever — and why it's not your faultThe concept of a “utility function” and how it helps clarify what matters mostWhy radical prioritization can create more ease and reduce burnoutHow comparison can disconnect us from self-trustWhy letting go of certain things isn't failure — it's a strategyHow community can lighten the load in ways no productivity hack ever willWhat employers and leaders can do to create workplaces where people can thriveThis episode is a practical, grounding reminder that you don't have to do it all — you just have to do what's most yours.✨ Ease in giving yourself permission to let go of what isn't working, in making decisions from clarity instead of guilt, and in knowing that leading your life with less friction is not laziness, it's wisdom✨ Joy in watching your relationships blossom when you finally put your own oxygen mask on first and in discovering that joy is not a reward for getting everything done, it's the foundation that makes everything else possible✨ Impact in creating workplaces where women don't have to choose—and in knowing that when you thrive, everyone around you feels it✨ Self-trust. Dr. Low's utility function model is ultimately a tool for coming home to yourself. When you stop measuring your life against someone else's and start listening to your own values, you already know what the next right step is.This episode is part of our 10th anniversary celebration of The Well Woman Show. Thank you for being part of this community. 🎉----------------✨ Join us on April 30th at the Family Friendly New Mexico Business Awards Luncheon at Sandia Resort & Casino, where I'll be in conversation with Dr. Low about what the data tells us about work, caregiving, and the structural changes needed for both people and businesses to thrive.
