Are you the eldest daughter of an immigrant family?

Oh well, I'm so glad that you are here!

Paola is a doctor in psychology who works in the Bronx community. Paola migrated to the USA from Bogota Colombia when she was 14 years old. Since then she has been in charge of her family pretty much as she calls it the CEO of her family!

This can be a very challenging experience, holding tons of responsibility and Paola also has seen it as an opportunity to learn from all she is capable of doing.

Check out this episode with Paola to learn more about her experiences, how she has been able to process her immigration journey, and the connection between mental health and physical health

Are you working in a field where you are the only Latina in the room? Have you ever felt that you are exhausted from doing the hard work of making an impact?

If you answered yes to any of those questions, this episode is for you!

Marcia moved from Ecuador to the USA when she was 7 years old. We explored how her immigration journey has impacted her life in many different ways. From feeling less confident at times to learning that her diversity is in fact her strength!

We also talked about venture capital and the startup world where Marcia has been creating a wonderful impact, raising important questions, and including diverse voices in every space. Marcia is motivated by economic justice, equity, and opportunities for those who haven't had the chance! She will tell you more about her work in this interview, and about the accelerator programs she has created, she also shared wonderful resources!

I hope that you enjoy this interview as much as I did!

Nobody really prepares you for how different and complicated dealing with money as an immigrant will be!

I had the amazing opportunity to talk to Tess, she is a financial advisor and an immigrant.

Tess moved to the USA when she was a teenager after graduating from high school in Bulgaria. She also lived in Africa with her family before coming to the states. Tess grew up in a family where talking about money was not taboo and this inspired her later in life to help others manage their finances and build wealth.

In this episode we talked about some easy steps we can all take to start building wealth, we discussed the basics of how to build an emergency fund and how credit cards work, differently from what we learned in other countries!

Tess offers consultations and can help you if you need assistance with your money. Check out her website https://www.truwealthy.com/
