Let’s talk about something that gets totally overlooked in money conversations: the giving game. We’re all obsessed with hitting big revenue milestones and stacking cash, but guess what? Philanthropy is a character quality - it’s not some end-of-the-road financial milestone that only gets unlocked once you hit a certain number.
I sit down with Adi Shakti, aka The Philanthropic Femme, and trust me, this conversation is fire. She’s redefining what it means to be a philanthropist. For Adi, it’s not about writing giant checks once you hit some wealth threshold. It’s about giving from wherever you are on your money journey, and, surprise, surprise, it feels so much better when you make it part of the everyday hustle.
Join us this week as we dive into why it’s time to remove the shame around giving, how to balance earning and giving without feeling like a martyr, and why philanthropy isn’t just a luxury for the “wealthy.” Adi’s examples prove that you can start small and still make a huge difference. And the best part? Doing good feels good, and it doesn’t need to wait until your bank account hits seven figures.
