Summary
In this week’s episode, we’re talking about why women struggle to talk about money — and how that silence can hold us back in business. Inspired by Emma Grede’s book Start With Yourself, we break down the conditioning that teaches women to stay quiet about finances, and how that impacts pricing, negotiating, paying ourselves, and owning our success. We also cover the key business numbers every owner should know — revenue, expenses, profit, break-even point, and owner pay — and why understanding them gives you the confidence to make better decisions and advocate for your worth. This episode is a reminder that knowing your numbers isn’t selfish or bragging — it’s power! Enjoy! You can follow us on Instagram @businessmusclepodcast, @elisecaira and @dr.ariel.dpt.
