Women today are more educated than ever. More ambitious than ever. More likely to be breadwinners, business owners, and leaders in their households and communities. And yet — despite decades of progress — the pay gap persists, women continue to hit barriers at work, and many still feel punished for wanting both financial success and personal fulfillment.My guest today says that’s not a coincidence. It’s a system.Stefanie O’Connell Rodriguez is back on So Money with her powerful new book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ambition-Penalty-Corporate-Culture-Up_and/dp/1541705211/ref=sr_1_1?adgrpid=185805971039&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.df5EhvPZ7reMF-XenfBHFFMeZoe7Y06AUxfGxf0pnFjKWxiuEfoddKt957WfYCV3CjSjfZGy8Lmk1YwEJGEDQ_bXf0UgL280MM6c6l3bFSzBipRBpFPJJF08UeqNnegfn9Ngtnju2vFRt-TJgp4koQ.3guoAZvFsyKSFsF5MYvid7tIU67u0pq2k_jvg1rIlnQ&dib_tag=se&hvadid=779591954281&hvdev=c&hvexpln=0&hvlocphy=9003498&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=3497011181125606108--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=3497011181125606108&hvtargid=kwd-2442727784119&hydadcr=22560_13821274_8360&keywords=the+ambition+penalty&mcid=1204ec2cd25b3a9583f35a02cdfead70&qid=1779203496&sr=8-1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Ambition Penalty,</a> which examines how corporate culture encourages women to strive, achieve, and “lean in” — only to penalize them once they begin claiming real power, money, and authority.In this conversation, we unpack the myths we’ve been sold about ambition and meritocracy, why women are still more likely to face backlash for negotiating and asking for raises, and how inequality at work is deeply connected to inequality at home. Stefanie also shares why the rise of both “girlboss” culture and the tradwife movement miss the bigger picture — and what actually needs to change if we want more equitable outcomes for women.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop <a href="http://booktobrand.co" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Book to Brand.</a> Early bird registration is now open!
