Ayesha dreamed about sailing around the world, participating in the  Asian and Olympic games, about becoming a world champion. How does a  girl from a middle-class family fare in a rich-man's sport? How does she  fund her dreams? What has she learned from the journey?   

Laxmi & me is a show that explores women's relationship with money.  What messages do we get growing up? How does money affect our  relationship with family, and vice versa? Why do we find it so hard to  learn about money? We hope to encourage you to ask these questions as  you look around whether it's about your own life, your friends' or  strangers'.   

We would love to hear from you...we welcome feedback comments,  suggestions, stories. You can leave a voice message on Anchor, or comment on this post on any social media.
