Summary

In today's episode, Nuvyn and Alex look at recent statistics about salary progression and how women's salaries tend to stagnate right around the time of motherhood. They explore some of the issues that could be compounding to cause this, and bring up important questions about the realities of the Motherhood Penalty, including the influence it has on the idea of becoming a mother.
