What Would a Woman-Centered Definition of Success Look Like?

from Woman Uncaged · host Laura Gates-Lupton and Linda Katz

Send us a text. We'd love to hear from you!Welcome to the Woman Uncaged Podcast, Season 5, Episode 17!Today, we’re pulling apart the mainstream definition of success and asking: What does that definition look like when you’re living a full life with caregiving, emotional labor, relationships, and changing seasons all happening at once?We talk about why so many “success principles” don’t translate to women’s lives, especially when the model assumes a support system most of us don’t have. Instead of measuring everything by grades, money, productivity, or status symbols, we explore success as impact, flexibility, and enough financial stability to feel grounded. We also dig into how self-determined values become better markers than external benchmarks, and why it matters to name what you truly want in this phase of life.If you’ve been rethinking work, money, homeownership, or what “making it” even means, you’ll feel right at home here.
