Female Breadwinners: Managing a Successful Career and Relationship as the Main Earner

Make no mistake, female breadwinners are on the rise. Sure, these relationships can be a godsend to ambitious women needing the same type of support most of her male colleagues get - a wife. However, these relationships also feature unique challenges because of their relative recency and rarity. So, how do these women manage romantic relationships when they and their male partners are bucking convention and entering uncharted territory between the sexes?

This workshop will focus on the habits of women who successfully manage being the main earner for their families. There will be a mix of interactive exercises, as well as group discussion and individual work to discover how best to manage the mix of responsibilities and range of feelings that are part of being a female breadwinner.
