Episode notes

In America, since 1990, we have gone from 21.8% of women being the financial heads to a 2019 study that stated that 46.1% were heads. In black households, that number peaked at 52.5%. And I think people are mad because they equate money with power and furthermore, money with respect. So when we talk about men earning less, they fear we are also talking about them providing and being valued less. It doesn't feel too good, does it?

Let’s talk about submission! My fav definition of this comes from Hafeez who simply said to submit is to sub (be underneath) another person’s mission. Now, one of the main purposes of romantic relationships is to be stronger together - a concept we’ve gone into before when we discussed self expansion theory on episode 4 featuring Jeannie Mai. The Self expansion theory states that the best way to expand, together, is to take stock of each other’s strengths, then create a dynamic that aligns with that reality.

But what happens when in the end of this audit, you realize that your strengths fall outside of traditional gender roles? And furthermore you realize that the man’s strengths are perfectly suited to aid in the woman’s success? How does it work and furthermore CAN it work when a man realizes his partner’s potential and then makes her mission, his main mission? That’s what we are going to be talking about on this episode featuring Jade Novah and Devin Johnson.
