Ep. 198: You don’t need to have a big life to have a valuable life
Why should women (or men, for that matter) feel obligated to "change the world" when everyday life can be just as much, if not more, fulfilling?
What if staying focused on life in your own backyard brings more joy and satisfaction than trying to "disrupt the status quo"?
In this episode, Suzanne explains why women shouldn't feel pressure to live a big life when a smaller one is just as noble and gratifying.

Customer Reviews
Life changing podcast
I am a stay at home mom to little ones and knew my worth, but hearing Suzanne describe why my role is so important often brings tears to my eyes. She is so intelligent, rational and thoughtful. I recommend her to my mom friends and friends considering getting married and having kids soon. Thank you Suzanne for speaking the truth - you are a God send and my husband and I adore your show!
A great resource!
Thanks Suzanne for all that you do! This is such an eye opening podcast.
Permission to Prioritize My Values
As a woman in her 20s, I have felt the need to suppress my desire for a family. I’ve always envisioned myself prioritizing my kids over my career and never felt permission to admit that (even to myself)! Part of this was because my dream of a more family-focused life felt impossible.
Suzanne affirms that these desires are natural and gives listeners a road map for how to go about achieving them. It’s given me so much more clarity on how to approach dating and financial decisions in my near future.
Even for women like my sister who are more career-oriented, this information (especially regarding the dangers of day care) is helpful for planning her life.
Thank you so much Suzanne!
