Most women influence a massive portion of global spending, yet they receive a tiny fraction of investment capital. Rejina Rahim believes the problem starts with a fundamental lack of “money ownership”.
After nearly 30 years in the financial world, including serving as Managing Director for Nomura Asset Management, Rejina walked away from the corporate C-suite to launch Wahine Capital. Her mission? To bridge the gap between women and wealth.
In this episode, Rejina breaks down the cultural and psychological barriers with Anabelle that stop women from taking charge of their finances—from the “someone will take care of me” trap to the hesitation in negotiating salaries.
What she reveals is a wake-up call for every woman.
Financial independence isn’t just about the numbers.
It’s about rewriting your “money story” and having the courage to ask for more. From the dangers of “liquid-only” investing to the reality of why many smart professionals see their savings disappear, this conversation provides a roadmap for financial confidence. Because you can’t manage your future if you don’t own your money.
