Meera took a Pilates class this morning and almost didn't go, because the last time she tried Pilates, six years ago, she hated it. What changed wasn't the exercise. It was everything around it.

In this episode, she unpacks why that matters for your financial life. A better financial advisor helps, but what if the whole model is the mismatch? What if the way mainstream finance was built just... wasn't built for you?

Meera talks about moving from the modalities that felt like boot camp to the ones that actually fit her body (hiking, climbing, lifting) and what it looks like to bring that same permission into your relationship with money. She also tells the story of her doula, Flame, who carried her through both pregnancies with zero anxiety and full support, and asks why we curate every important relationship in our lives except this one.

Your financial life doesn't have to feel like pulling teeth. There's a version of this that actually feels good. And that version works better.
