When I say Chrissy Grigoropoulos is a powerhouse, I mean it. This woman is an attorney, real estate broker, CEO of multiple businesses, and now a published author. I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Chrissy on the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast, and y’all—I left that conversation fired up. Chrissy doesn’t just drop gems, she drops truth bombs. She’s completely self-made, hustling her way from immigrant roots to the top of the professional food chain. Chrissy graduated high school at 16, college at 19, and law school by 25. Did she miss out on parties? Yup. Did she gain a thriving law firm and an empire? Hell yes. “There’s no magic wand,” she said. “I wish.” Chrissy’s success is no accident. It’s grit, late nights, sacrifice, and saying no to the distractions that so many of us cave into. She’s also very real about the struggle. From skipping parties to choosing her career over dating, Chrissy is honest about the cost of ambition—and she’s unapologetic about it. “You’ll always find an excuse if you need one as to why you're not succeeding.” —Chrissy Grigoropoulos

How to be a Lady Shark: Finding Success Through Authenticity & Smart Moves with Chrissy Grigoropoulos | EU 266

You’re exhausted.
Not just physically. Emotionally. You’re running a household, keeping up with your career, holding the family calendar together, and still somehow managing the grocery list. You’re the default parent, the peacekeeper, the one who never stops, even when you should be resting. And somewhere in between the laundry and the late-night emails, you’ve lost the version of yourself that wasn’t running on fumes.

I’m Veronica Cisneros, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, wife, and mom of three. I know what it’s like to feel disconnected from your spouse, stuck in silent power struggles over household chores, and torn between excelling in your career and actually enjoying your family. I’ve been the people-pleaser, the overachiever, the one trying to “hold it all together” while anxiety worked overtime behind the scenes.

On Empowered and Unapologetic, we’re ditching the guilt and having the conversations no one’s having at the PTA meeting. Here, you’ll get real talk and therapist-backed strategies on:

• Navigating marriage when it feels more like a business partnership than a relationship.
• Breaking the cycle of over-functioning and learning to rest without guilt.
• Sharing the mental and physical load at home—without another chore chart that no one uses.
• Shutting down power-pleasing patterns that leave you drained and resentful.
• Managing the anxiety that comes from constantly being “on.”

If you’re tired of looking like you have it all together while feeling like you’re falling apart, you’re in the right place. This is your space to breathe, laugh, and rebuild connection, without having to compromise yourself in the process.

Let’s do this together.
