Is money still running your life from childhood memories?
You may be earning, saving, and even investing...but it still feels heavy, disconnected, or like you’re always one step away from losing it all. In this vulnerable and necessary episode, Alejandra gets real about the financial trauma women of color carry, especially when money was a ghost in the room growing up. She explores why no amount of budgeting or financial literacy feels like “enough” when old survival patterns are still shaping your relationship with money.
