In this episode, a fellow Mexican chingona gives us some insights into the many challenges that come from choosing to become a mother while also wanting to have a fulfilling career.

In this episode, I talk about a very unpleasant experience that I had as a college intern at an Insurance Company, which really shaped the way in which I view money, power, and capitalism. You can watch the TikTok video mentioned in the episode here: https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdSktXov/

Do you love your corporate job? Erika does. In this episode, we discussed the reasons that make her love her job, the bad things that you often can’t escape when working in an office, and how it’s never too late to change careers if you aren’t fulfilled in your current company/industry.

For many years, my mom has lived far away from me and my siblings. In this episode, we talked about her upbringing, how it affected the way she raised us, and how we’ve been able to maintain our Mexican culture while, at the same time, developing very different mentalities from our family, which are often seen as non-traditional. We also talked about our relationship with money and the hard decisions that sometimes our parents have to live with to be able to give us the opportunity of creating our own life in a different country with the hope of having a better quality of life.

In this episode, I talk about my first time experiencing the privilege of working from home in Mexico (where my mom’s family resides) and the challenges that come with mixing my professional world with my world in Mexico.

In this episode, I talk about the early stages of my corporate experience and how I caught myself trying so hard to fit in and then wondering… “WHO AM I?!”.

Sometimes you really can’t “just stick with it” because a job can make you that miserable and that’s okay. In this episode, I share the reason behind my most recent resignation and why Corporate Finance has proved to be such a tough environment for me.
