This week, economist and Wharton professor Dr. Corinne Low hands us the data-backed truth about why powerhouse women feel overextended, under-supported, and blamed for systems they didn’t design.
We break down two game-changing concepts:
• Utility Function
Your utility function is the economist’s version of your life scorecard, the sum total of joy, meaning, fulfillment, and alignment across your lifetime.
Not your boss’s profit.
Not comparison culture.
Not the invisible rules handed to women.
You’re maximizing your utility, not the company’s.
• Your Job as Technology
Your job is simply a tool that converts time → money.
Once you see it as technology, not identity, you unlock the power to redesign your career around better ROI, more time freedom, and the life Future You actually wants to live.
We also hit the hard truths: unpaid labor, sexual harassment as an economic crime, why even top-performing women earn less, and why “leaning in” was never the solution.
If you’re ready to reclaim your levers, time, money, agency, this conversation is a reset.
Share this episode with a powerhouse woman who needs the reminder: she’s not broken. The system is.
