About this listen
In this first After the Interview episode of Equal-ish, Kate and Rachel reflect on their conversation with Brian Page, founder of Modern Husbands, and explore the tensions that lingered once the microphones were off.
We explore what happens when couples are encouraged to “support the career that earns more”, and why that logic might reinforce traditional roles rather than disrupting them.
In this conversation we unpack:
Why money decisions are never just economic
How our money scripts (shaped by childhood, gender norms and past experiences) quietly drive conflict
How income differences can turn into power imbalances
Why focusing on efficiency can erase ambition, identity and care
Why missed caregiving time is a loss we rarely measure
Rather than offering tidy answers, this episode invites you to hold the complexity. We leave you with this one question:
What decisions are you making now that the future you might regret?
