Let's discuss the latest Pew Research – 40% of households have women as the main breadwinner

Revealing research out today from the Pew Research Institute today found that a record 40% of households in the US with children under 18 have women as the sole or primary earner

  • Why more single Mums?
  • Why are families where the woman is the primary earner almost $2000 better off than if their partner was the breadwinner?

The research is great, but how to you cope with being the primary or sole earner in your home? Here are just a few practical articles to help you do just that:

  • Why you must have the money conversation
  • Why you must focus on your wellbeing
  • What’s you legacy as primary earner?
  • How to ditch the guilt

and don’t forget my book: Rocking Your Role, which is a ‘how to’ guide to success for female breadwinners, you can download the first chapter here
 
Watch the short video [3.37 mins] with my thoughts and lets start a discussion about this.

Testimonials

“A rare and powerful book covering an immensely important subject in a personal, practical and very moving way. I was inspired by reading it and left breathless by the achievements of the author and the women whose stories she tells.”

Dr Ann Limb OBE DL
South East Midlands Local Enterprise Partnership

“From the moment I started reading Rocking Your Role I was totally absorbed, recognising so many of the issues that Jenny refers to within this clearly written and practical book. She takes the reader on a journey which makes you question so many things about yourself but in a way that energises you to step back and think about your work life balance, and the importance of being honest with yourself and those around you. It will resonate with successful women, especially those who are the female breadwinners, in all areas of life.”

Pim Baxter
National Portrait Gallery

“Reading this book lifted the clouds of expectations, guilt, imaginary limitations …. it liberated me to pursue my own personal dreams while still providing for my family.”

Nadine Juignet
Hewlett Packard

“Jenny Garrett charts the rise of the female main earner (ME) in her highly engaging exploration of female breadwinners. That a fifth of women in the UK now earn more than their partners is significant, yet we hear little about this. Garrett’s book illustrates why this is something we should celebrate, and yet we are resistant to do so.This book is an invaluable and inspiring source for those who will, either through choice or by chance, embark on this exciting route. She offers advice and space to reflect and challenges one of the modern day taboos.”

Mary Honeyball
London MEP

“A series of interactive transformative exercises drawing from the world of coaching and psychology will support personal and professional development for all individuals. Jenny has a great writing voice and has bought a human touch to a taboo subject with great sensitivity and creativity.”

Philip Whiteley
Business author

“This is a well researched book, that I think will meet a real need, the practical exercises are welcomed, much better than just a pile of theory. Perfect for those women struggling with being breadwinner.”
