Key Takeaways

• It’s not about breaking the ceiling of a burning building. Bri explains why women need to leave broken systems and focus their energy on building something new and more equitable.

• Your current reality reflects past decisions. To create the future you want, start making decisions today from the perspective of your future self.

• Wealth is power. Women are positioned to lead the largest wealth transfer in history. By investing in themselves and other women, they can create transformative change.

• Ask for what you want. Nearly half of women have never asked for a raise. Bri emphasizes why asking is a crucial step in shifting workplace dynamics and creating personal financial growth.

• Drop what isn’t yours. Bri shares a simple but powerful exercise to help you let go of other people’s expectations, allowing you to live unapologetically and authentically.
