Money is power, and women have been fighting for both for centuries. In this episode, journalist and author Josie Cox joins AI-Empowered Mom to talk about the intersection of gender, equity, and emerging technology. We unpack her new book Women, Money, Power, diving into the motherhood penalty, why women have been slower to adopt AI, and how artificial intelligence could either close or widen the gender pay gap depending on what we do next.

Josie shares how becoming a mother pushed her to go freelance, how she personally uses AI for research and editing, and why she believes it’s more dangerous for women to sit out the AI revolution than to jump in. We also challenge the myth that women lack ambition, explore how fathers need to be part of the conversation, and reflect on the power of rewriting old systems with new tools.
