Is Having a Stay-at-Home Husband the Secret to Success? with Tressie Liberman | Ambition 2.0
It's the power move no one talks about.

Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
I am SO excited to talk about today’s new episode of Ambition 2.0—we’re talking about something a lot of ambitious women think about but don’t always say out loud: having a stay-at-home husband.
Our guest is Tressie Lieberman, Global Chief Brand Officer at Starbucks, whose husband pressed pause on his own marketing career to stay home with their son so she could go all-in on hers and rise to the C-suite. It’s still not “the norm,” but as Tressie points out, this setup is way more common among high-powered women in corporate America than you’d think.
So… is having a stay-at-home husband the secret to success? I can’t wait for you to listen and tell us what you think in the comments section of the episode.
Other stuff the Girlboss team is yapping about on Slack:
‘Twas the week before holiday break, and all through the office, your boss was still assigning new projects. Seriously, what happened to circling back in January?!
A genius gift idea for the friend who always seems to have a new creative hobby.*
