Who Owns the Future? Rethinking Women and Wealth | Emma Heikensten

from Light the Campfire · host Hedda Rehnberg and Lise Pretorius

More women than ever are educated, employed, and financially independent, yet the wealth gap between men and women remains staggering. One key reason lies in the story of ownership. In this conversation with economist, sustainability leader, and Ownershift co-founder Emma Heikensten, we unpack what ownership really means: why women are still so far behind, and how ownership shapes power dynamics and the future. We explore questions like: How do women and men approach money differently? What systemic shifts are needed to close the gap? And what might the world look like if ownership were more equal? This episode is not only about women, but about society at large. Because when ownership is more evenly shared, power and outcomes are too.
