On this episode of Politically Basic, Kyle is joined by Arwen Becker—a financial powerhouse and unapologetic advocate for women—to talk about the cultural moment we’re living in and why women can’t afford to stay silent. From the battlefield of women’s sports to the boardrooms where money decisions are made, Arwen unpacks what it really means to lead with conviction.
We’re talking biology, boundaries, and the uncomfortable truth that too many are afraid to say out loud: women are walking away from the very spaces they fought to enter because the line has gotten blurry—and no one wants to draw it. At the same time, women are on track to control 60% of America’s wealth. So why do we still shy away from claiming power?
This episode isn’t just about economics—it’s about courage, calling, and what happens when women stop apologizing for using their voice.
