Why does modern work feel impossible for so many families? In this episode, I talk with sociologist, former Navy pilot, and workplace researcher Dr. David Smith about why so many modern couples feel trapped in work-life conflict, how to navigate the structural stress of dual-career life, and the realities of modern caregiving. David breaks down the "Lead-Follow" relationship strategy used by highly successful couples. We also dive into the anxieties men face surrounding workplace allyship, why traditional mentorship scripts are broken, and how organizations must design work for a cross-generational workforce. Tune in to learn about the pressures modern families face and what needs to change.Check out our sponsors:Shopify - Sign up for a $1 per month trial, just go to shopify.com/anxiousachieverChime - Head to chime.com/achiever to sign upMonarch - Use code ACHIEVER at monarch.com to get 50% off your first yearPhysician’s Choice - Use code PCPODCAST10 at physicianschoice.com to get 10% off your entire orderWhatnot - Get free shipping on your first order.
