Re-launching the podcast about our relationship with money, and with women when they have or don't have money.

Shyra lives her life as a poetess with an abundance mindset...she is grateful for the abundance in which she grew up in, and also what she enjoys today. Interestingly, she chose to do a business degree from MIT Sloan. So was her financial journey different?  

Laxmi & me is a show about our relationship with money. Especially women's whom we call Laxmi. We talk with women from all walks of life, exploring who influenced their relationship with money, how it's evolved and how their money life affects their personal relationships.  In previous episodes, we have focused on guests recalling their earliest memories of money being discussed at home. We also hear about their family's financial circumstances. In one episode, we referred to a investor personality quiz. 

Note we lay out all episodes as three chapters - past, present and future. In this episode, we mention that actually our relationship with money not only includes deep seated money beliefs from childhood, but also the effects of major financial events from our generation (such as the 2008 financial crash) and the personality quiz again. We will flesh out these aspects further in future episodes and on our website (www.themoneyhans.com).  

We would love to hear from you. You can leave comments here. You can also send us voice message either on the anchor.fm/themoneyhans site or on our facebook page (www.facebook.com/themoneyhans).

Jashoda was born as the eldest child to a hard-working couple living in the slums of Mumbai. Both her parents worked as cleaners, apparently because they belong to the Valmiki sub-set of the Dalit caste which usually includes cleaners. Her father was a street sweeper and her mother a maid, but Jashoda wanted to become a teacher. Did she become a teacher? What role did money play in her life? What are her aspirations as she gets married?

Laxmi & me is a show about our relationship with money. Especially women's. We speak with women from all walks of life to hear about what messages they received as women, how they think about money, where they learn about money. We want to understand how their family & friends affect their view of money, and vice versa. We believe our money beliefs shape how we handle money.

We would to hear from you. You can send us voice messages on Anchor, or through WhatsApp on our facebook page - The Money Hans. We can add some of your messages to podcast episode.

Prernaa was born into a pretty affluent Marwadi family so she learned good money values. While her family was a bit orthodox, they encouraged her to build a career. She got her inspiration (prerna in Hindi) from her mother who not only encouraged her to start her jewellery designing business but acts as her financial adviser/coach.  Let's meet Prernaa to find out how this background shaped her present including her relationship with money.

Laxmi & me is a show about women, money and relationships. Hansi talks to women from all walks of life, exploring their past, present and future, discussing how their relationship with money changed over time.
