Welcome to So Money.

Forget about Ruby Wade and focus on the fact that we need women's reproductive rights as part of

the Constitution. Welcome to So Money, everybody. I'm Farneesh Karabi. You just heard from our

guest today, Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, describing her take on the recent overturning of Ruby Wade.

We get into it today and taking a bigger look at the landscape, focusing on the systems that lead

to female financial challenges and motherhood burnout. Jacqueline herself is a burnout survivor.

In 2018, she left her 20-year career in academia, and now she is helping prevent burnout in other

moms through her expertise as a behavior change scientist, speaker, and researcher of hundreds of

books and articles related to burnout in our conversation. Jacqueline highlights how to

identify burnout in your life. It can be a sneaky thing. She touches on the motherhood penalty

and fatherhood bonus. Did you know for every child a woman has, her income drops by 4%.

The average mother makes between 5% and 10% less than she would have otherwise. Men's income,

when they become dads, by the way, goes up 6%. This is a real issue with a real cost, with real

systemic changes needed. I'll let my guests get into it. Here's Jacqueline Kerr.

Dr. Jacqueline Kerr, welcome to So Money. It's an honor to have you on the show.
