YFLO Kolkata, under the leadership of Chairperson Ankita Chitlangia, curated a session titled “The Power of Mindset” to create a safe and empowering space for women to engage in honest conversations about money. Hosted under the FLO Financial Literacy Initiative, the objective of this event was to move beyond numbers and formulas, encouraging participants to explore their personal relationship with money, reflect on long-held beliefs, and begin shifting mindsets toward greater financial awareness and confidence.
The workshop offered a refreshing departure from conventional financial sessions. Through an interactive game and guided discussions, participants reflected on personal habits, emotional spending triggers, unspoken fears, and inherited money beliefs. The format encouraged active participation and thoughtful exchange, creating an atmosphere of trust, openness, and mutual respect. What began as a room of individuals soon evolved into a circle of shared learning, empathy, and connection.
Key Takeaways
- An honest and refreshing approach to financial learning beyond traditional advice.
- Greater awareness of personal money habits, triggers, and inherited beliefs.
- A supportive environment that encouraged vulnerability and open dialogue.

Impact
Bringing together 36 women, the workshop fostered collective courage and meaningful self-reflection. Women spoke candidly about financial challenges, questioned patterns they wished to change, and made personal commitments to approach money with greater awareness and intention.
This shared honesty transformed the space into one of empowerment and support, leaving participants better equipped to redefine their financial journeys with confidence.
