Such a timely topic for so many. Your host, Donna Peters, chats with Liz Brigham on how to thrive in a dual-career family. HBR research shows that dual-career families take on one of three shapes. Which are you?
- Primary-Secondary
- Turn-Taking
- Double Primary
Research also shows that while 60% of households have both parents working, relationships where the woman makes more than the man are 50% more likely to end in divorce. And women tend to take on 7.5 more hours of domestic work a week than the working male partner. Research suggests same-sex, dual-career couples do better at balancing career aspirations and domestic duties.
Liz views dual-career relationships more like seasons. In this wonderfully inspiring and practical discussion, we talk about the need for communication to fulfill both parties.
Liz is a musician and music producer and even curated this Me-Suite Family Spotify playlist to accompany the discussion. How's that for a Me-Suite suitener! Liz’s core values are:

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
