From Podcast to Purpose: My Journey to Financial Coaching

Back in 2020, I started a small passion project, a podcast called Making Sense with Nikhil. At the time, all I wanted was to spread awareness about something I felt was missing in most of our lives: financial literacy.

I didn’t have all the answers, but I had experiences, some great, some hard, that taught me how much freedom comes from understanding money. Over the years, I learned the importance of things we often overlook: budgeting, saving, life and health insurance, emergency funds, and investing.

As I started putting these pieces together, I built my own simple 3-Step Formula to achieve Financial Independence. It wasn’t about getting rich fast, it was about getting free, being able to make choices without fear, pressure, or dependency.

Fast forward to now, it’s been a wild two years since I left my corporate job and fully lived the plan I created. I traveled, focused on my health, worked on myself, and truly experienced what financial independence feels like.

And that’s when everything changed.

Because somewhere along the way, I realized it’s not enough to just understand this for myself. I wanted to help others experience that same clarity, confidence, and freedom.

So here I am, starting a new chapter, coaching people on personal finance. From learning to earning, from fear to freedom, it’s been a full circle journey.

I’m excited to share my learnings, stories, and the small shifts that can create big change in how you think about money and life.

This isn’t just about finance, it’s about making sense of yourself through your relationship with money.

Stay tuned, this is just the beginning of a whole new journey.
