In this episode of the Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa introduce Emma Grede’s book “Start With Yourself.” They discuss Grede’s interviews and how her perspective is a “permission slip” to step into authentic power. This episode shares how a woman in business can be unapologetically ambitious and talk more openly about money, which women often avoid more than men.
They cover the historical roots of women’s relationship to power and money. Another hot topic is the importance of balancing practical money habits with energetic/nervous system work. These are all avenues to redefining success through feminine authenticity rather than adopting masculine business norms.
The conversation also addresses backlash Grede received about work-life balance and time with kids. Christy and Christa share their feelings about emphasizing quality over quantity, resisting comparison and “landscaper parenting.” As parents, they share how modeling resilience through real-life hardships and allowing discomfort or negative emotions can shape children in their formative years.
