I'm thrilled you focused on Emma's stance on money (although I can't wait to hear how you feel about the 3-hour-kid-window). You're both so right re: our money stories. As you know, I'm living my own story of waiting to being saved and the consequences. This reminds me of another rescue fantasy that prevents women from owning their own financial/professional authority - waiting to be "discovered" (on the rise with the proliferation of Instagram). Love that Emma's book is generating so much discussion and that you brought it to the table here!
I may write about the 3 hour mom next week, it's a loaded subject. Nobody is coming to save us, so yes - her book is a reminder that yes, the world is full of injustices and women have more hurdles than men, but we also have a responsibility to push through our own old mindsets and be willing to experience discomfort as we grow. And being able to handle money is part of this experience. Thank you for your input, always!
