Let's talk about my complicated relationship with money | AITL?! EP 61

PODD FAM 💚

Today on Am I Too LOUD?!, we’re finally having the money conversation. In this episode, I’m talking about my complicated relationship with money: growing up in Lagos, watching my mom give even when she barely had enough, learning to see money as a blessing instead of a tool, coming to America as an immigrant student, surviving college on basically fumes and prayer, and then suddenly making influencer money that completely changed my brain.

We’re getting into the guilt of sending money home, the pressure immigrant kids carry, why boundaries are necessary even when you love your family, and how social media can warp your relationship with money when everyone online looks richer, younger, softer, shinier, and more booked than you. I’m also talking about my first brand deals, going from $150 a month to getting paid thousands for content, learning about savings, taxes, investments, financial responsibility, and why financial freedom is really the soft life.
