The Hidden Shame That Keeps You Stuck With Money - Episode 166

In today’s episode, I’m talking with Uma Viswanathan, cofounder of True Worth, about your money story and how it shapes the way you spend, save, and build wealth, especially if you’re a first generation wealth builder. We dig into how family, culture, and stress can create money habits that don’t match the life you want, and how shame can keep you stuck even when you’re doing “all the right things.” Uma shares a simple tool she calls the power of the pause so you can notice your triggers before you buy, people please, or say yes out of guilt, and then choose a move that fits your real values. About our guest: Uma Viswanathan is the co-founder of TruWorth, where she helps people, especially women and first-generation wealth builders, rewrite the money stories that no longer serve them. Her work sits at the intersection of identity, culture, and finance, shaped by her own experience navigating those tensions. Before launching TruWorth, Uma led more than $200 million in mission-driven investments through major foundations and collaboratives focused on racial equity, healing, and systems change. She brings two decades of experience in psychology, philanthropy, and narrative strategy to help people move out of shame and into clarity, so they can build a life that feels aligned and abundant. https://www.truworthshift.com/ --- Grab your spot in my free Financial CPR class and learn the simple steps to go from paycheck to paycheck to your first million in 10 years - https://www.financiallyintentional.co...
