And somewhere inside, you've known it for a while.
You'll get a short, personal note: a few sentences on what your answers reveal. Free. Private. No salary details, ever.
Fifteen years in, maybe more. Senior role, solid reputation. Teams built, bad quarters weathered, people mentored who now run things of their own.
By every visible measure, you've done well. And still, quietly, you know you're worth more than what's coming your way.
It shows up in small moments: the appraisal where you had a question ready and said thank you instead, a batchmate's news that sits with you longer than it should, the recruiter call where you heard yourself quote a number lower than the one in your head.
You're not jealous of anyone, and you're not unhappy. This is something else.
You have the skill, the track record, the network. If those were the problem, you'd have solved it years ago.
So the answer sits somewhere else. In how you feel about money, in what you believe about it quietly, even if you've never said it out loud.
Here's what we hear, again and again. See if any of it feels familiar:
If one of these landed, even a little, it's worth paying attention to. If none fit, yours is likely worded a bit differently.
You won't need anyone to tell you it's working. You'll feel it in the exact same moments that used to trip you up.
The recruiter asks your number, and this time you say the real one, without wincing. In the appraisal, you actually ask for what you came in to ask for. A batchmate's news arrives and it's just news, nothing more. The role you'd talked yourself out of, you go after anyway. Someone pays you a compliment, and for once, you just let it land.
Money stops being a quiet weight. It gets lighter, more ordinary, more yours.
I'm Maheima Kapur.
I'm an internationally certified therapist. I've worked with people on the beliefs and patterns that run quietly underneath their lives, and increasingly, on exactly this: the gap between what senior professionals are worth and what they let themselves ask for.
I'm also an IIM Bangalore alum, class of 2005, with 20+ years in senior marketing roles before this. So I know the rooms you sit in, the conversations you're describing, and the particular way accomplished people talk themselves out of their own worth.
That combination is deliberate. This is deep inner work, done with someone who understands the world you actually operate in.

Before Week 1
A 30-minute conversation. We'll start with what your answers showed, talk through what it might mean, and see together whether this is the right work for you at this point, and whether we're the right fit to do it together. If yes, you'll receive a couple of short forms and a prep doc for our first session. If no, we'll have an honest conversation about what might serve you better.
Clarity on whether this is right for you, right now.
Week 1
A 120-minute session, one-to-one, online. This is where we go deeper into your money story, where it came from, and how it's been playing out in your life. You'll leave with everything you need for the weeks that follow:
A clearer sense of what you've been carrying around money, and a practice to start moving past it.
Week 2
A 15-minute video call in the middle of the week, to see how the practice is settling in, what's coming up, and anything worth carrying into the next session.
A quick sense of how the practice is going, and a chance to flag anything that's come up.
Week 3
A short, structured check-in over WhatsApp, on your own time. You'll also have my private line through the program, for anything that needs attention between our scheduled points.
A clearer sense of how this belief has been shaping your decisions, often without you noticing.
Week 4
A second 120-minute session. We work through whatever's come up in the weeks between, and go deeper wherever that's called for. This is where the shift consolidates.
An honest sense of what's shifted, what still needs work, and a plan for what to keep doing on your own.
Week 5
A final short conversation, along with everything you need to carry this forward on your own:
Everything you need to keep going without me.
30 days later
One short conversation a month after we close, to see how the shift has actually held up in your life. Nothing to prepare for, no agenda beyond that.
Clear evidence of what's actually stuck, a month later.
One thing first: a short assessment. 90 seconds, no salary figures. You get back a personal note on what your answers suggest, and where the gap might be coming from.
This is where it begins.
Underneath those moments is something more fundamental: your actual relationship with money. How you see it, what you've quietly believed about it, what you've been carrying that was never yours to carry. That's what begins to shift, and that's the worth-gap closing, the space between what you know you're worth and where you actually want to go.
You've spent years being paid less than you're worth. Seeing why takes 90 seconds.
Get your note. Then decide if a conversation is worth having.
Free. Private. No salary details, ever.
