Oh wow! I haven't quite read anything that talks about the shame sorroundoing money quite like this. Whatever position you decide to take when it comes to money, there's a catch. Love this!

So refreshing to read about the topic that is in everyone's mind in one way or another, but seldom talked about, and in such an open, thoughtful and useful way.

Loved this Malavika, hope your relationship with earning money keeps getting better and better (and hope to keep reading about it)!

I'm sure these issues feel very personal to you, but I can't imagine anyone not resonating with the themes you touch on regarding developing stable self-worth, the compulsion to feel needed, and navigating shame around money. I still struggle with all of those! I found this a brave and useful piece of public self-reflection Malavika.

Such a beautiful reflection and one that really resonated with me! I love your conclusion, I strongly believe if you’re doing work you enjoy, and your personal cup is full, you’ll be able to do great things (and get paid for it!) Amazing essay!
