Matchmaker Maria sits down with author and journalist Stefanie O'Connell &amp;nbsp;to unpack why ambitious women are still being labeled \u201ctoo much\u201d in dating, work, and marriage. They discuss the research behind men pulling away when women out-earn them, why women still do more household labor even when they make more money, and how \u201cprovider mentality\u201d can sometimes really mean control. Maria also shares what she\u2019s seeing in modern dating, from men wanting \u201cambitious women\u201d until they actually meet one, to the rise of trad wife content and 27-year-olds panicking over finding a husband. Plus, they answer a listener question from a NYC finance executive whose boyfriend admitted he was intimidated by her career success.
