One year ago, we gathered a group of extraordinary women around a dinner table at SXSW — and The Breadwinners was born. In honor of our one-year anniversary, we're bringing back the episode that started it all for the listeners who've joined us since.
"You're not hitting your skincare routine, being a great mom, crushing it at your job, putting dinner on the table, and having sex with your husband in 24 hours every day," says Kim Chappell, Chief Brand Officer at Bobbie. "Nobody is. That's not happening."
In this pilot episode, Alexis Contos sits down with Kim to talk about what it actually looks like to build a career and a family at the same time — without the performance. They dig into returning to work after maternity leave, the guilt that quietly follows you back, and why the "girlboss" era left so many of us more exhausted than empowered.
What comes after hustle culture? A new conversation about what it means to be a breadwinner — one that goes beyond the paycheck and into how we define success, boundaries, and what we're actually building.
If you're new to the community, this is where it all began and we're excited to revisit our origin. So, welcome!

Description

They say you can't have it all — that mothers must choose between ambition and presence. But what if we're asking the wrong question?
On The Breadwinners Podcast, Alexis Contos redefines what it means to be a Breadwinner in modern culture, moving it far beyond the paycheck. Through raw, honest conversations with women like Morgan Zanotti (CEO of Primal Kitchen), Nicole Trunfio (CEO of Bumpsuit), and Eve Rodsky (Author of Fair Play & Find Your Unicorn Space), we explore what it really takes to bring financial richness, emotional richness, and systemic change to our families.
This isn't about balance, it's about integration. Not perfection, but wholeness.
Whether you're already navigating motherhood and career, building your empire before kids arrive, or reimagining what family leadership looks like, these conversations will challenge everything you've been told about what's possible.
The Breadwinners: Where ambitious mothers aren't just earning a living, they're pioneering a new era for themselves, and everyone who comes next.
