Gender Roles

Let’s talk about sex baby….but not how you think. We are talking Gender and the “traditional” roles that come along with it. In this episode the Boss Ladies are joined by the incredible boss babe and mom to be -Jessica Hickman- 🙌👏 Jessica and her husband are total couple goals and breaking the mold of the typical gender roles! We dive into everything from our stance on gender reveals (and how to not start wildfires), to what roles we each carry in our households vs. the roles modeled in our childhood. As a career driven and full time working mom to be, Jessica has some big changes to adjust to, and shares her plan on handling parenting roles - she will continue to be the main earner for their family while hubby becomes the main caregiver-, values and traditions that are important to instill on her child, how she may want to parent differently than she was raised, and the internal struggle that many of us woman feels when we are split between the desire to grow our careers and become a mother. The conversation hits many hot topics as we discuss the challenges of raising boys and girls, what changes we can make within ourselves to break the modeling of “traditional” gender roles, and how heavy and important the responsibility of teaching consent and consideration for others is. This episode is full of “girl power”, and though women's rights have come so far, 2020 has made things a little uncertain for the progression of our rights moving forward. The topic of gender roles and identity is not something we should ever stop talking about, and we are so thankful to have had the opportunity to share this necessary conversation with Jessica!
