For the 237th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes economist, Wharton professor, and Having It All author Corinne Low.
In this interview, Corinne breaks down the myth of “having it all” and opens up about her own midlife crisis, the impossible pressures on modern women, and how inequality inside heterosexual households can quietly erode intimacy, attraction, and desire. We also dig into the data behind gender roles, invisible labor, motherhood timing, and why so many women feel “the squeeze” as they try to balance career, caregiving, and partnership in 2025.
Corinne also speaks candidly about becoming a mom again at 41, remarrying a woman after divorce, and why understanding the math of your relationship may be the key to having it almost.
