It's the story you were handed about what money means and who gets to have it. In this video, I break down 5 money mindset reframes that fundamentally changed how I relate to wealth — and helped my husband and I reach financial independence in our 30s. What we cover: → Why wanting wealth is not a character flaw → The difference between income and wealth (and why it matters) → What financial independence actually means — and why it's for you → Why time is your most undervalued financial asset → How to stop identifying as "bad with money" I'm a first-gen immigrant daughter who spent 13 years in corporate, achieved FI, and left by choice.
