A wise person once said “your vulnerability is your strength”.
So, here I am to bare all and talk about life and what it taught me about money. I hope that you can relate & be inspired to start talking about money too. I promise it’s not taboo - we were lied to!

This is Finance Therapy.
Organising your finances on the top of your to-do list, but it’s the last thing you want to do? Everywhere you look you’re being told to invest and save, but you don’t know how, or even why? Comfortable with your salary, but still no closer to reaching your life goals? Consumed all the financial literacy content on socials, but still haven’t done THE thing? Healing money trauma and taking action on your finances is heavy work, but you don't have to do it alone.
I’m a financial coach, taking a trauma sensitive approach, helping professionals align their finances with their life goals, whilst understanding and changing a lifetime of behaviours and mindset around money.
Together we’ll laugh and cry at my stories while I tell you how they impacted my relationship with money and what I'm doing to learn and unlearn the money scripts that have dictated my finances (& feelings) over the decades. Each post will explore a different topic and it’s money lessons, be it; work, lifestyle, family, relationships, travel, education…the list goes on.
My name is Jaskiran. I'm a serial quitter, solo backpacker and adventure seeking second generation (to the UK) brown girl. Oh, & the oldest of four siblings (I know, it doesn't quite add up). I seldom follow the rules. I love my life, and at times I still have no idea what I'm doing with it. But who does?
I'm an ex-; banker, teacher, non-profit consultant and fin-tech founder. I quit corporate life in pursuit of making a positive impact on the world, founded an impact driven start-up and worked in the VC industry. And I've most definitely been to the dark depths of burn-out!
Don’t get me wrong, I learned ALOT, but corporates, non-profits and start ups alike have tried to change me, silence me and undermine my experience and point of view when it didn’t fit their narrative.
So I'm here to just be me Spill some tea Impart some wisdom Complain about toxic work culture Dismantle outdated PoC culture Talk about money trauma* Call out systems of oppression & Burn it all down (Joking. Or am I? Not sure yet).
*Content will come with trigger warnings where applicable. My content reflects my own views and is not intended to shame or hurt any individual or organisation.
Vamos pues!
