Description
"The Breadwinners" is a podcast about the realities of working, earning, leading and balancing - and the choices we make when the workplace and the world don’t match what was promised. Hosted by workplace and leadership expert Rachael Lowell, "The Breadwinners" features illuminating conversations with leaders, builders, creators, entrepreneurs and everyday visionaries who have redefined what success looks like after realizing the old scripts no longer worked. Together we explore leadership, identity, family in all its forms, ambition, obligation, independence, interdependence and the systems that shape how we show up at work, at home and in the world. Welcome to "The Breadwinners." Still we rise!
