Have you ever felt stuck in a workplace catch-22? You work hard, play by the rules, but somehow never get ahead? This episode of Financial Feminist tackles the frustrating reality many women face in the professional world.

We're joined by June Carbone — author and Chair of Law, Science, and Technology at the University of Minnesota Law School. Her upcoming book "Fair Shake," written alongside 2 co-authors, explains plain and simple how the American economy is rigged to hold women back. In this insightful discussion, June introduces and explains the “triple-bind” — a concept that describes the limitations and unfair choices women confront in the workplace, and breaks down the three parts of the bind and how they hold women back.

Tune into this episode to hear June’s powerful insights on:

navigating the “triple bind” in the workplace
strategies for career advancement that don't require compromising your integrity
the connection between women's economic struggles and societal factors

Whether you're just starting your career or looking to break through a glass ceiling, this episode is packed with insights to help you win the game on your own terms.
