In this episode of Tell Your Truth, host Shamika Brown-Upshaw pulls back the curtain on the real root of most money blocks: self-worth.

She doesn’t sugarcoat it. Your financial reality? It’s not just about how much you earn. It’s a direct reflection of what you believe you deserve.

This episode dives deep into the connection between money, power, and identity—exposing how early childhood experiences, generational beliefs, and subconscious programming shape how we give, receive, and hold wealth.

Shamika blends science, spirit, and lived experience to help listeners rewrite the money stories that keep them undercharging, overgiving, or clinging to overflow in fear. Because true financial freedom doesn’t come from hustle—it comes from alignment.

Listeners will walk away with a fresh understanding of how to align their mindset, expand their capacity, and embody the version of themselves who can hold abundance with ease.
