Why Women Should Complement, Not Compete With Men | Suzanne Venker | The Lila Rose Podcast E125

For decades women have been told they need to be the boss-babe, to climb up the corporate ladder, and be the CEO to prove they are equal to men, only to find out that they are not able to focus on what matters most: their family. Today I sit down with Suzanne Venker, author and relationship coach, to discuss why women should not go through life trying to compete with men. We discuss how to direct your Type A personality to be an asset for your relationships, how to express your femininity without being a doormat, how to choose your career based on your family needs, what women should look for in a man and much more.
