In Partnership with Brighton Jones Women Living Richer Lives virtual event explores research-grounded insights on the choices that shape women's lives.
We’ve all heard the phrase “having it all.” Most of us have complicated feelings about it.
In her new book, "Having It All: What Data Tells Us About Women's Lives and Getting the Most Out of Yours", Wharton professor and economist Dr. Corinne Low takes a different approach to the conversation — one grounded in research, experience, and real tradeoffs rather than “top 5 tips.” She examines the economic forces shaping women's decisions about careers, relationships, time, and money, then offers practical tools and frameworks for navigating them more clearly.
On May 13, WLRL is bringing Dr. Low to our community for a moderated discussion with Tama Smith, Head of Women Living a Richer Life at Brighton Jones.
What we'll explore:
- Why "work-life balance" is an incomplete framework — and what economists think about instead
- How to apply the logic of opportunity cost to decisions about time, career, and relationships
- The negotiation dynamics that affect women differently — and how to use that knowledge
- How to evaluate career pivots and transitions with more clarity and less second-guessing
- What the data says about building a household structure that actually works
