Yo Quiero Dinero

Let's talk about something a lot of us have been quietly researching — cosmetic procedures. Whether you've gone down a TikTok rabbit hole on facelifts or you're seriously considering something, the money side of this decision matters just as much as the medical side. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Ruslan Zhuravsky — board-certified facial plastic surgeon and founder of Z Face Plastic Surgery i...

We're talking side hustles, affiliate marketing, brand deals, pricing your worth, and why "selling" isn't a dirty word. WE GET INTO:&nbs...

The Guardian recently featured my plan for how I'm raising my toddler to become a millionaire and it got me fired up about something I've been sitting on for a while. Today I'm calling out the financial patterns that Latino parents normalize that are actually keeping our community from building real wealth. I'm not talking about our elders who came here with nothing and survived on grit. I'm talki...

Earlier this year, I posted a question on Instagram asking Latinas making over $200K what they do — and the answers revealed something that most people in personal finance aren't willing to say out loud: you cannot build wealth on a median income when the cost of just existing has gone through the roof. In this solo episode, I'm breaking down why traditional money advice keeps failing us, what hig...

What does it actually look like to not become a statistic? Dr. Xochilt Alamillo — Chicana therapist, PhD, business coach, podcast host, and retreat creator — is the living proof.

Fast forward through community college, side hustles, th...

You know the good girl. She follows the rules, makes everybody proud, does everything she's supposed to do. She is me, and I have a feeling she might be you too. This episode was inspired by a recent keynote I gave in California, and I'm bringing it to the podcast because we don't talk about this enough: what it actually costs you to keep playing by everyone else's rules. We're going deep on the c...

We're getting into her family's...

She was one of the baddies who showed up on this show back in 2021 — and four years later, Vanessa Wachtmeister is back and she is NOT the same woman. She's paid off $130,000 in debt, earned her German passport, and is about to launch her second tech startup. And she did all of it from Europe, where blueberries cost a dollar and a minor surgery runs you 300 euro — total. In this episode, Vanessa a...

Honestly, I don't know why it took me this long to get Chloe Daniels — aka Clo Bare Money Coach — on the show, because she is a whole badass and we have been living parallel lives for years. She went from a torrential relationship with money (including being financially trapped in a dangerous situation abroad) to becoming one of the most refreshing voices in personal finance.
