Aravind Sithamparapillai’s path to becoming an advisor started in a birthing room
About this episode
Aravind Sithamparapillai discusses his journey from supporting midwives to becoming a financial planner specializing in their unique challenges.
After supporting his wife through three midwife-assisted pregnancies, Aravind Sithamparapillai realized that Ontario's midwives were navigating complex tax choices and unique career longevity hurdles with very little support. Today, Aravind is a financial planner at Ironwood Wealth Management Group, where he specializes in advising midwives and women in health care. He speaks with Brenda about his cross-continental family history, what he learned from female mentors in the industry and how he navigates deeply vulnerable conversations around financial planning.
