S11E20: Can you have it all? w/ May Lee

Yue Xu and Julie Krafchick
About this episode

What happens when you prioritize your career over relationships and starting a family? Will you regret it later....or not? We're chatting with news anchor May Lee about the choices she's made over the last 25 years when it came to balancing her career with relationships. We discuss the tradeoffs that inevitably happen, the different gender dynamics at play with successful women, and how you can be happy no matter what path you end up taking.
