This episode of the Self-Tivity Podcast features Rakim Sabri (@rahkimsabree), a financial coach and entrepreneur who left a decade-long banking career to pursue purposeful work rooted in healing, empowerment, and spiritual alignment. Together, we explore what it means to self-invest—not just with money, but with mindset, values, and practices that shape our relationship with wealth and worth.
We unpack thought-provoking concepts through a game called “Thought ER,” where Rakim responds to rapid-fire statements like “Being poor is expensive,” “Black trauma and money,” and “Religion, spirituality, and money.” From financial literacy to spiritual manifestation, this episode offers a transparent look into what it really takes to build wealth while deconstructing inherited narratives.
Rakim shares how he was raised in Islam, later explored broader spiritual practices, and now carries a $10 million manifestation check in his wallet as a symbol of intention. He also opens up about the trauma of navigating white corporate spaces, the weight of being misrepresented in national media, and how he’s reclaimed agency through entrepreneurship.
Questions explored in this episode include:
• Can we reprogram our relationship with money by healing old stories?
• Is financial education enough without cultural context and emotional awareness?
• How do spiritual beliefs influence how we attract or block abundance?
• Does entrepreneurship require suffering or can it be a spiritual experience?
• What makes someone ready to invest in coaching, courses, or mentorship?
This is a powerful exchange for anyone wrestling with financial identity, burnout, or the desire to live in alignment with their values. Whether you're considering leaving your job or unlearning scarcity mindsets passed down through generations, this conversation meets you with insight, honesty, and reflection.
