How to Stop Avoiding Your Finances and Start Feeling in Control with Parween Mander

It's another episode of Money March and today we're talking to Parween Mander, a South Asian money expert on a mission to provide honest and relatable financial coaching for women of color from immigrant upbringings through 1:1 coaching and mentoring. She's built a net worth of $300,000 by the age of 30 and is on a mission to help other WOC overcome their financial traumas and build generational wealth.

Parween shares her journey and the financial mindset shifts that changed everything. We dive into what it means to feel "safe" with money, how to overcome guilt and shame around spending, and practical strategies to start building financial confidence—without falling into the trap of extreme restriction.

If you’ve ever felt like money controls you more than you control it, this conversation is for you! Parween breaks down how to shift from avoiding your finances to engaging with them in a way that feels empowering. We talk about small, actionable steps to build trust with yourself, create structure around your finances, and even reframe budgeting so it doesn’t feel like a punishment. Whether you’re paying off debt, supporting loved ones, or just trying to make smarter money moves, this episode is packed with insights that will help you take control.
