August 12, 2021 Best of the Breadwinners: Where Does the Joy of Success Hide? EP 143
Feeling dissatisfied, disconnected, and maybe even a little bored, management consultant Tina Berger asked herself: Surely this can’t be all there is to life?
That question led Tina on a spiritual quest to reawaken the inspiration she lost on her way to success. Today, she joins Jennifer to discuss her new book, Coming Around, and shares lessons learned by questioning not only how we judge accomplishments but the hidden systems that too often get in our way.

July 27, 2021 Best of the Breadwinners: On Advocating for Trans Kids with Amber Briggle EP 138
When Amber Briggle called her county sheriff out for his anti-transgender comments in 2016, little did she know it would lead to an invitation to the White House.
What she did know, however, was the importance of learning, advocating and growing into her role as a breadwinning parent of a middle school son who is transgender — which he argues is the least interesting thing about him. (He can do triple back flip, after all!)
In this episode, Amber joins Jennifer to talk about the research, fight and awareness that is growing for kids who are transgender.
“When you attack the trans community, you attack my kid — and when you do that, my Mama Bear claws come out.” — Amber Briggle

July 20, 2021 Best of the Breadwinners: Talking Single Moms with Emma Johnson EP 136
When it comes to breaking down gender norms at home, author and activist Emma Johnson argues that one of the best tools society has is shared parenting agreements in cases of divorce.
In this episode, Johnson shares results from her new survey of 2,3000 single moms: “The answer is clear: The more equality that women have with their parenting schedule, the more money they make, the happier they are and the better they feel about themselves as moms.”
