In this episode I share observations and insights based on data collected by evolutionary psychologist, Stephen Stewart-Williams, on work preferences between men and women. This research is important because it negates the big narrative that says women are behind men in prestige and financial gain because of biases and barriers against them.

The data tells a different story. It’s much more to do with women’s actual preferences versus what they say they want.

Listen in to learn about what men and women value most when it comes to work, a simple way to think about a woman’s hormone cycle, what makes work fulfilling, and much more.
