Ever wonder about the working dad\'s perspective on how to make life work in a modern dual income family?
In this episode, Matthew Sharp is sharing his story about how he makes things work in his household. Matthew is a husband and dad to two (soon to be 3!). He\'s also been a champion for working parents by being involved in a parental leave initiative at his company. Matthew talks about why he became involved and why it didn\'t deter him that the initiative was an offshoot of a women\'s group at his company.
There are a lot of negative stories of partnerships when we talk about working moms so I hope this starts to change the narrative and highlight the cases where a partnership is working well. I hope you consider sharing this episode with your partner!
