When Financial Dependence Turns Into Domestic Violence: Episode 1

Influence Her Mindset Podcast

Welcome to the pilot episode of Influence HerMindset. In this deeply personal and powerful episode, I share the traumatic event that changed my life forever—my stepdad shooting my mom five times.

Growing up in South Park, Houston, I lived a comfortable life with my mom and stepfather. My mom was a kept woman, and my stepfather, who married my mom when I was around 4 or 5, was the only father figure I knew. Despite our seemingly perfect life, underlying tensions about money began to build, leading to a tragic night that shattered our family.

Through my mom's incredible strength and resilience during her recovery, I learned the importance of financial independence. This experience shaped my views on financial security and helped me understand the patterns in my life that needed healing.

This podcast is not just about my story; it’s about the journey to understand the foundation of your mindset and move beyond past challenges in a healthy way. In today's world, social media and reality TV often promote a "City Girl and Flewed Out" lifestyle, leading many young women to rely on others for financial security. Influence HerMindset aims to transform that mindset and teach women how to be financially secure on their own terms.

Join me as we explore financial therapy and personal growth, drawing from real-life stories and expert insights. Together, we will challenge harmful stereotypes, build financial strength, and empower ourselves for a brighter financial future. Tune in to this powerful first episode and start your journey to financial independence with Influence HerMindset.
