    Owning Your Power

    In this episode of the Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa introduce Emma Grede’s book “Start With Yourself.” They discuss Grede’s interviews and how her perspective is a “permission slip” to step into authentic power. This episode shares how a woman in business can be unapologetically ambitious and talk more openly about money, which women often avoid more than men.  They cover the historical roots of women’s relationship to power and money. Another hot topic is the importance of balancing practical money habits with energetic/nervous system work. These are all avenues to redefining success through feminine authenticity rather than adopting masculine business norms. The conversation also addresses backlash Grede received about work-life balance and time with kids. Christy and Christa share their feelings about emphasizing quality over quantity, resisting comparison and “landscaper parenting.” As parents, they share how modeling resilience through real-life hardships and allowing discomfort or negative emotions can shape children in their formative years. thewisdomwork@gmail.com Christy McCaffrey LinkedIn Christy McCaffery’s Website Be The Good Media and Podcast Christa Mantey’s Instagram Christa Mantey’s LinkedIn Christa Mantey’s Website 0:00 - Welcome to Wisdom Work 0:40 - Listener Love and Community 2:16 - Share the Podcast 3:46 - Emma Grede Sparks a Fire 5:34 - Women Owning Power and Money 8:40 - History and Lineage Healing 11:51 - Feminine Leadership in Business 14:29 - Money Shame and Ambition 15:50 - Work Life Balance and Motherhood 18:43 - Quality Time and Parenting Guilt 20:03 - Landscaper Parenting and Resilience 21:43 - Village Support and Following Passion 23:55 - Comparison Culture Trap 24:51 - Permission To Choose 26:54 - Triggers As Teachers 28:00 - Kids And Change 28:41 - Let Them Feel Upset 32:00 - Modeling Grief And Truth 35:18 - Owning Power And Money 37:56 - Success Without Emptiness 39:54 - Feed Your Mind Daily 40:57 - Book Details And Wrap 42:26 - Thank you for listening

    Staying in the Vision

    In this episode of the Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa discuss “staying in the vision” by continuing to dream, reassessing desires, and prioritizing and protecting goals from outside influence.  They describe leaving behind habits like dimming your light, worrying what others think, and seeking validation, noting that sharing big dreams with the wrong people can deflate momentum due to others’ scarcity mindset.  They emphasize choosing a small circle of trusted “dream holders,” being mindful as both a sharer and a listener, and asking what support is wanted or needed. This conversation connects vision holding to manifestation as a daily practice, prayer, and removing blocks to receiving, including nervous-system readiness, conditioning, and trusting divine timing.  They highlight knowing the “what” and “why,” releasing the “how” and “when,” slowing down, noticing signs, and reframing feeling stuck as a transition into a new paradigm. thewisdomwork@gmail.com Christy McCaffrey LinkedIn Christy McCaffery’s Website Be The Good Media and Podcast Christa Mantey’s Instagram Christa Mantey’s LinkedIn Christa Mantey’s Website 0:00 - Welcome to Wisdom Work 0:53 - Staying in the Vision 2:41 - Protect Your Dreams 5:10 - Christa’s Next Desire 9:01 - Slow Down for Signs 10:02 - Stop Seeking Validation 11:31 - Share with the Right People 16:27 - Hold Space Both Ways 20:28 - Vision Mapping Check In 22:08 - Clear Blocks to Receive 24:53 - Undoing Conditioning 26:04 - Lonely Inner Work 28:25 - Reassess Your Vision 30:26 - Prayer and Signs 31:19 - Divine Timing Mindset 32:07 - Journal Prompts Clarity 34:24 - Release Control Daily 37:20 - Therapy on Feeling Stuck 40:14 - Be the Light 40:51 - Thank you for listening

    Plugging Into the New Grid

    In this episode of the Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa go deeper into their recent conversation of “being the light” during heavy, divisive times… especially when information is amplified by social media and news. They challenge listeners to regularly turn inward and ask how they can cultivate inner light while navigating difficult situations, relationships, and conversations. Christy shares a visual metaphor of unplugging from an old, corroded “electrical grid” of outdated patterns and plugging into a new, clean light grid that feels scary and lonely at first, but is full of possibility.  They discuss nervous system regulation, processing emotions rather than bypassing, and building the muscle of moving through heaviness faster. They suggest practices like nature walks, journaling, and intentional self-renewal. The episode emphasizes faith versus control, releasing a tight grip, setting protective boundaries, and seeing discomfort and pain as signs of growth and opening. thewisdomwork@gmail.com Christy McCaffrey LinkedIn Christy McCaffery’s Website Be The Good Media and Podcast Christa Mantey’s Instagram Christa Mantey’s LinkedIn Christa Mantey’s Website 0:00 - Welcome to Wisdom Work 1:12 - Why the World Feels Heavy 2:19 - The 2026 Light Challenge 5:10 - Processing Stress in the Body 9:39 - Building the Resilience Muscle 11:38 - Unplugging From the Old Grid 15:57 - Faith Over Control 17:48 - Fear Before the Breakthrough 18:57 - Control Versus Faith 19:10 - Surrender And Loosening Grip 20:32 - Archangels And Boundaries 21:30 - Grounding In Your Energy 22:43 - Protecting Your Inner Light 23:52 - Choosing The New Grid 25:22 - Reclaiming Joy And Play 27:54 - Collective Liberation Mindset 30:09 - Growth Pains Reframed 32:24 - Unplugging Fully And Resourcing 34:08 - Thank you for listening

    You Are the Light of the World

    In this episode of the Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa open a free-flowing conversation about navigating an intense, full season of life with kids’ activities and entrepreneurial work.  They discuss how structured movement and workouts support mental health, reveal greater personal capacity, and prompt a recheck of priorities toward rest, relationships, and “human being” time. Both reflect on using self-care tools, baths, meditation, quiet, journaling, and boundaries to counter stress without becoming overwhelmed. They also discuss the value of professional support rather than relying on external validation.  Adopting a “bubble of light” visualization practice helps to protect peace, set boundaries, and manage people-pleasing with mantras like “I don’t owe anybody anything” and “I am enough.” The conversation centers on the repeated inner message “You are the light of the world,” encouraging listeners to embody their truth, reduce distraction from technology, and practice the mantra daily. thewisdomwork@gmail.com Christy McCaffrey’s LinkedIn Christy McCaffrey’s Personal Website Be The Good Media and Podcast Christa Mantey’s Instagram Christa Mantey’s LinkedIn Christa Mantey’s Website Timestamps:  0:00 - Welcome to Wisdom Work 0:43 - Free Flow Catch Up 1:24 - Full Season of Life 2:02 - Movement and Capacity 3:02 - Priorities and Being 5:45 - Stress Toolkit in Action 8:08 - Inner Quiet Space 9:10 - Bubble of Light Boundaries 10:41 - Validation vs Going Inward 13:48 - Therapy and Nervous System 15:33 - Somatic Emotion Mapping 17:59 - Tech Overload Awareness 19:42 - People Pleasing Boundaries 22:32 - I Am Enough Mantra 23:22 - Self Sovereignty Self Care 25:33 - You Are The Light 28:54 - Reclaiming Your Brightness 31:14 - Living From Truth 32:52 - Mantra And Fear 34:30 - Thank you for listening

    Manifesting: Rooting into your desires

    In this episode of The Wisdom Work podcast, Christy and Christa dive deep into the powerful topic of manifestation. They shared the importance of aligning with what you truly want, the role of self-worth, and the significance of clearing out what no longer serves you.  Rather than focusing on rigid goal setting, resolutions, or pressure-driven productivity, this conversation invites listeners to explore manifestation as a lived practice rooted in self-awareness, emotional honesty, self-worth, and alignment. Christy and Christa weave in personal stories, client experiences, and wisdom teachings to offer a grounded, compassionate approach to calling in what you truly want while learning how to let go of what no longer serves you. This is a conversation about doing the inner work, learning to say no without guilt, and recognizing expanders in your life. Learn how to allow play, joy, and ease to coexist with your personal growth. Christy and Christa reflect on how manifestation often requires clearing emotional blocks, challenging subconscious beliefs, and learning to trust yourself not forcing outcomes or bypassing discomfort. At its core, this episode is a reminder that this work isn’t magic or wishful thinking. It’s the ongoing practice of aligning your energy, actions, and beliefs with the life you want to live while staying deeply present and grateful for the life you already have.
