The Suzanne Venker Show

Suzanne answers an email about whether or not a family, after finally getting settled in the Midwests, should move to a big city for a higher paying job.

Suzanne reads several letters from women who've been shamed for prioritizing marriage and motherhood over career and juxtaposes this message with the reality of Barbara Walters' life, who did just that.

Suzanne talks about her follow-up conversation with Alex Clark of The Spillover and the shocking reality women experience in becoming new mothers.

Is eight hours per week of work away from my two children too much?

How do my husband and I maintain intimacy? Our relationship has taken a hit since I became a breastfeeding/co-sleeping mother.

The culture insists men and women would be happier if they pretended they're interchangeable and moved through life accordingly.

Suzanne responds to folks who suggested a new way to keep The Suzanne Venker Show going...

Suzanne makes an announcement about The Suzanne Venker Show and discusses her new book, How to Build a Better Life: A New Roadmap for Women Who Want to Prioritize Love & Family, which is now on sale at Amazon.

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.
