24:07

Women have been fighting for equality for centuries—so why are we still battling for basic rights? In this episode, Tracy dives into the hard truth about systemic patriarchy, the barriers that keep women from true equity, and why the fight is far from over. From the Seneca Falls Convention to today’s stalled Equal Rights Amendment, we break down what’s really standing in the way of progress. The system thrives on division, but real change happens when we come together. If you’re tired of playing by the old rules, this conversation will challenge you to rethink power, privilege, and what it takes to create lasting change. Key Takeaways: Why the system is designed to keep women in a fight they shouldn't have to wage The overlooked history of women’s rights and what’s still at stake How pay gaps, representation, and autonomy are deliberately controlled Why unity—not division—is the key to shifting the system The actions you can take to push for real change "The fight for equality was never about asking for permission—it’s about taking back what should have never been denied." ~ Tracy Crossley…

Patriarchy gets tossed around a lot. The system was made by men for men who wanted to hold onto their possessions. It has been this way for thousands of years. We’ve been conditioned to believe success means fitting into a structure that wasn’t made for women. If it actually worked, why are so many people burned out, stressed, and still fighting for a seat at the table? In this episode of Earned Wisdom, Tracy Crossley breaks down how the patriarchal system keeps women stuck and how to change it. It’s not about fighting harder—it’s about seeing the game for what it is and choosing a different way. You don’t need permission to redefine success, leadership, or power. You just need to stop believing in a system that will never work for you. What You’ll Learn: Does anyone really benefit from the system? Patriarchal structures fuel burnout, competition, and emotional suppression Women are the way forward applying new meaning to success and leadership Your power to create a movement for yourself and generations to come. "The system doesn’t hold you back—believing in it does." ~ Tracy Crossley…

It’s what you know. It’s a system that may take you years to see how it is set up for a small group. You, me and every other woman no matter the race, religion or creed doesn’t operate at the top of the system no matter how fantastic of a leader you happen to be. I know if you are listening, you are not a victim to the system, because being a victim means helpless to change. That’s not what we are going for, understanding how it currently hobbles along doesn’t work for many. Today, I am sharing from a historical and present day perspective. From wealth disparities to the “in your face” societal norms, nod your head along to how it perpetuates inequality and has us feeling guilty or ashamed while trying to chase down the feeling of success. It isn’t about blame—it’s about clarity. You’ll gain insight into the unseen forces shaping your beliefs, relationships, and self-worth to change the balance of power. Key Takeaways: How the patriarchal system is a cycle. If it works so well, why the fear, inequality, and mental health struggles? Who are the societal metrics of success for?

You may not realize you were born into a system. One that doesn’t look at you as an individual. Taught from a young age values that may not work for you. Join me as we talk about the pressures of a mother in a patriarchal society, how does she lead or is she only a follower? Many get a mixed message leaving them overwhelmed and disconnected.

Key Insights from this Episode: The unrealistic expectations and approval-seeking behaviors mothers face. How patriarchal norms lead to a loss of identity and isolation. The invisible rules that dictate behavior and breaking free from them. Learn to trust yourself, build genuine connections, and prioritize self-care. Take the first step toward rewriting your story and embracing your authentic self. Listen now! "Where are you giving your power away? Stop doing it, but don’t stop it and blame others—instead, recognize you haven’t been taking care of yourself and start respecting your own space." ~ Tracy Crossley…

Are you ready to break down the barriers holding you back as a female leader? Our guest, Sarah Miller, CEO of Axis Entertainment, brings a fresh perspective to the conversation. She acknowledges the statistic that only 21% of CEOs in the United States are female but emphasizes that often it's other women who keep us down. Sarah touches on the insecurities and fears that women face, such as jealousy, comparison, and the societal emphasis on youth and beauty. Her message is clear: own your leadership, command attention and respect, and don't be afraid to be yourself, whether that means dressing up or down. It's about being confident in your abilities and value as a leader, without using your sexuality to get ahead. Sarah also addresses the Me Too movement and how it can sometimes further victimize women rather than empower them. Instead, she emphasizes the importance of finding like-minded individuals and surrounding yourself with people who uplift and support you. It's not about competing with others, but rather lifting each other up and learning from one another. So, join us for this inspiring conversation that will motivate you to own your leadership and break down the barriers that hold you back.
