But this Fourth of July, we’re not talking about backyard barbecues and red-white-and-blue jello shots. No, friend. We’re talking about a very different kind of freedom—the kind that comes from laying down your emotional mop and stepping off the hamster wheel of doing the most. I’m talking about the freedom to not be the CEO of your marriage, your household, your kid’s extracurricular calendar, and your damn group chat. Because...

info_outlineWhen I say Chrissy Grigoropoulos is a powerhouse, I mean it. This woman is an attorney, real estate broker, CEO of multiple businesses, and now a published author. I had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Chrissy on the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast, and y’all—I left that conversation fired up. Chrissy doesn’t just drop gems, she drops truth bombs.
She’s completely self-made, hustling her way from immigrant roots to the top of the professional food chain. Chrissy graduated high school at 16, college at 19, and law school by 25. Did she miss out on parties? Yup. Did she gain a thriving law firm and an empire? Hell yes.
“There’s no magic wand,” she said. “I wish.”
Chrissy’s success is no accident. It’s grit, late nights, sacrifice, and saying no to the distractions that so many of us cave into. She’s also very real about the struggle. From skipping parties to choosing her career over dating, Chrissy is honest about the cost of ambition—and she’s unapologetic about it.
“You’ll always find an excuse if you need one as to why you're not succeeding.”
—Chrissy Grigoropoulos
