And so you might as well have one that reflects what you do.
And so there's a wonderful woman named Neha Roosh, and she talks a lot about โ
what happens when women take a power pause, she calls it, and stay home, or men too.
But typically, what ultimately happens is that the cards do shift.
So you will see the person who's not working take on more labor.
But then even in that situation, it gets very unbalanced.
And the power dynamic changes in that family.
So what I like to say is if you do a post-nup,
It helps because it acknowledges there's going to be a power dynamic shift in this relationship and I want you to value unpaid labor if I'm going to take this shift.
And if your partner really is not valuing unpaid labor, then they wouldn't engage in a way that you'll know.
You'll know.
I have a lot of women say to me, like, I had that conversation.
It didn't go well.
And then I say, then you can't leave the workplace like it's going to be bad later.
We've seen too many stories of women who end up in the family law courts with very little alimony, something called a Gavron warning, Nicole, which is a.
humiliating document you get from the court saying that you have a duty to become self-sufficient even though you have 20 years of, you know, you left marketing 20 years ago and they're telling you to enter the workplace.
I have women, I spoke to a woman who was a marketing executive who became a Mary Kay representative.
Again, that's not bad work, but yeah, a lot of these MLM jobs become available because the skills that you had in your job or women who are nurse practitioners and have to regain their license when their partners want to leave.
And so I always say, and this gets back to the core, I think, of why you do what you do.
What I love about what you do, what you do is I think you're helping people avoid economic risk.
