Understanding Historical Impact on Women and Money
Historical context reveals the struggle of women needing permission to open credit cards until 1974. Society's slow pace in evolving from historical laws impacts current societal beliefs. Deep-rooted patterns of doubt and second-guessing stem from centuries of societal conditioning.
Breaking Generational Patterns with Thought Work
Thought work emphasizes changing societal beliefs about women's capabilities. Reshaping beliefs on mental inferiority and women's decision-making transforms self-doubt. Encouraging confidence in decision-making reveals the impact of societal conditioning over generations.
Challenging Traditional Gender Norms in Business
In the business world, gendered biases can surface through decision criticisms. Women may face challenges related to leadership values and gender-based assumptions. Defining personal values as a CEO or business owner can offer clarity amidst conflicting feedback.
Fostering Self-Worth and Empowerment
Establishing principles around roles like motherhood and CEO bolsters self-worth. Recognizing critiques within gendered contexts aids in self-assessment and decision-making. Defining personal values helps navigate conflicting viewpoints and fosters self-assurance.
Empowering Women Through Self-Defined Values
Encouraging women to define their values in various roles cultivates empowerment. The book 'Take Back Your Brain' offers insights into reshaping ingrained societal beliefs. Promoting self-worth and autonomy enables women to navigate criticisms and enhance self-assurance.
How has the desire to make money been weaponized against us as women? And what’s the secret to breaking free from the social narratives that are holding us back?
To discuss these questions and more with me this week is Kara Loewentheil, the founder of The School of New Feminist Thought and host of the Unf*ck Your Brain podcast. Her book, Take Back Your Brain: How a Sexist Society Gets in Your Head - and How to Get it Out, is your one-stop-shop for understanding the social and historical context behind why our brains are the way they are, and how to get those sexist messages out. Listen in as Kara walks us through the socialization imposed on us as women, and how it impacts our beliefs about money.
