In this inspiring episode of The Empowered Money Girl Podcast, Josette sits down with Amy Power, founder of The Power Group, to share her incredible journey from a $5/hour internship to running a thriving PR agency for over two decades.
Amy opens up about:
✨ Taking bold chances—like saying “yes” to her first client while in the hospital delivering her son.
✨ Building a business as a woman in a male-dominated industry, despite receiving discouraging advice.
✨ Defining what financial independence really looks like—and why it’s always a work in progress.
✨ The importance of making friends with your numbers (even if you think you’re “not good at math”).
✨ Why courage, intentionality, and community are essential for women creating their own wealth and independence.
💡 Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a woman ready to claim financial freedom, or simply someone who loves stories of grit and growth, this conversation will leave you inspired to take bold action in your own life.

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
