Reimagining the Rules of Money and Belonging | Shivika Sharma

What if belonging did not require us to arrive with all the answers?

In this episode of Hearth 2 Heart, Gayathri Shukla sits down with Shivika Sharma, Investment Advisor at Sharma Wealth, Richardson Wealth, for a conversation about the pressure to appear knowledgeable, the dreams we quietly learn to dismiss, and what that reveals about the intersection between money and belonging.

Together, Gayathri and Shivika explore a pattern that reaches far beyond simple financial planning. They consider the inherited ideas of responsibility and success that shape our choices—and what becomes possible when we ask not only what is practical, but what we genuinely want.

The conversation also connects with the upcoming launch of The Fires We Lit: Illustrated Stories of Women Reimagining the Rules, where Sharma Wealth is one of the sponsors. Like the stories in the anthology, Shivika invites listeners to question prescribed paths, reclaim the ability to dream, and imagine a future that feels like their own.
