EP. 15 | So I Decided to Interview My Husband...

from The Breadwinners Podcast · host Alexis Contos

What does it actually look like when two ambitious people are building a life together .... from both sides? In this episode, I hand the mic to my husband, Todd Grantham - entrepreneur, father of four, and the person who has seen me at my most magnetic and my most completely undone. No script, no canned questions. Just a real conversation about what modern marriage actually looks like when ambition, identity, money, and family are all in the mix at the same time. We get into the invisible load debate and why one viral Instagram post made me break my own "don't take the bait" rule. We talk about how we split household responsibilities - and why we've never actually sat down and agreed on any of it. We go deep on parenting values, religion, raising kids who can think for themselves, and what we want our children to see when they look at us. And yes, we talk about the dishwasher. At length. This is the episode behind the episode - the partnership story that makes everything else possible. In this conversation: - How we actually divide household labor (and what the research gets wrong) - The invisible load, rage bait culture, and why broad generalizations are hurting the conversation (hint: the "comments" section) - What Todd thinks makes a modern marriage work - How we parent without projecting — and why we make our kids solve their own problems - What his late father taught him about being present ______________________________ The Breadwinners is a podcast and community for ambitious women redefining what it means to be a Breadwinner — beyond the paycheck, to include emotional richness, systemic change, and legacy. 🎙 Subscribe wherever you listen to podcasts 📩 Join the Breadwinners Substack 📲 Follow on Instagram: @wearethebreadwinners Learn more about your ad choices.
