Ep 7: Money Honey: Unpaid Mat Leave, Financial Relationship Dynamics, and Self Worth Struggles

In this topical solo episode, Jenna talks about money and finances during pregnancy, particularly in the context of being a dancer and taking a lonnng unpaid "maternity leave". She touches on topics such as financial dynamics and labor division within relationships, the taboo of talking about financial hardship, how so much of our self worth is externalized onto productivity and financial success, and how being a stripper changed how she perceives and handles money (for better and worse!) This is a super candid episode with sociological underpinnings about a topic we don't talk about enough!
