The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet FBF

featuring
Leslie Bennetts

For the first time we are making the Conversation original TV series interviews available on the pod. This is part of a miniseries featuring the first guests to appear on the show. In this mini episode we feature Leslie Bennetts.

Leslie Bennetts had a profound impact on me, altering the course of my life. Her book, which I consumed eagerly, became my guiding philosophy. This experience led to the creation of The Conversation podcast. In this episode, Leslie and I delve into the ideas she explored in her work, The Feminine Mistake. We contemplate the puzzling choice some women make: seeking a partner to care for them, only to find themselves isolated without a career at age 50. Have you ever heard of marriage referred to as an exit strategy? Well, today's discussion will introduce you to this concept. Leslie offers invaluable advice and wisdom to young women making life choices.
