What’s your first memory of money? Was it something exciting, scary, or stressful? If you’ve ever felt guilt, shame, or even anxiety when it comes to finances, you are NOT alone. And guess what? The way you think about money today has everything to do with your past.
In this episode, we sit down with Kara Stevens- a powerhouse in the world of financial wellness, blending her expertise in economics, education, and social justice to empower women of color to heal their relationship with money and build lasting wealth.
We talk about how emotions, upbringing, and generational patterns shape our relationship with money. Kara shares authentically on her own journey; from growing up in a household where money was a constant stressor to completely transforming her mindset and building wealth on her own terms.
She opens up about the emotional weight of money, why so many women feel guilt when they start earning more, and how to finally take control of finances without fear or shame. This conversation is real, honest, and packed with those “OMG, that’s me!” moments.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or just straight-up done with the stress around money, this episode is for you.
