From Electrician to Financial Advisor: How She Transitioned? | Keeping It Real

In today's episode of Keeping It Real, Irene and Phillipe sit down with Maryam, a former electrical apprentice who made the bold move to walk away from a stable trade career to find her true purpose in financial services. Maryam shares her journey of growing up in a low-income refugee household where the definition of success was often limited to traditional paths or just making money. After spending years in the trades, she realized that the physical and mental toll on her older colleagues wasn't the life she envisioned for herself. She opens up about being "sold the dream" by a financial agency she found on TikTok, only to discover a lack of real education and ulterior motives. Now, Maryam is redefining the industry as a "financial therapist," focusing on the root causes of money habits and the emotional ties we have to our finances. This conversation is a raw look at the courage it takes to pivot when you feel stuck and why change is more achievable than you think
