#148: In this episode of Money Noticias podcast, join Israel and Sunem, as they sit down with Fernanda from Relentless Latina, who shares her powerful story of transforming her career and finances — from being an underpaid engineer in Mexico to becoming a successful manager, investor, and homeowner in the U.S.
Fernanda opens up about the mindset shifts women of color need to break income ceilings, how she strategically increased her salary and built multiple income streams, and what it really means to become work optional in today’s economy.
We also dive into her homeownership journey, the lessons she learned about financial independence, investing, and community impact, and how she continues to empower other Latinas to build wealth with purpose.
Whether you’re an immigrant professional, a woman in STEM, or someone seeking financial freedom, this episode will inspire you to take bold steps toward your own version of success.
Tune in to learn:
- How to navigate career growth and salary negotiations as a Latina in tech
- Practical investing and mindset strategies for wealth building
- The real meaning of “work optional” and how to achieve it
