Brown Ambition

How Digital Nomads Can Move to Spain in 2025 ft. The First Gen Mentor Gigi Gonzalez [WASHDAY WOOSAH]


Listen Later

BA Fam, today’s Wash Day Woosah is a treat. We’ve got our girl Giovanna “Gigi” Gonzalez aka The First Gen Mentor,  author of Cultura & Cash, and three-time BA guest back on the mic. But this time, she’s not joining us from Chicago… she’s calling in from Spain!

In this episode, Gigi shares the money moves and life decisions that made it possible for her and her husband to pack up and move abroad. We talk about:

  • The financial planning behind her big move (and what she wishes she’d known sooner).
  • How she turned her biggest regret—never studying abroad—into a mid-career dream come true.
  • The not-so-sexy side of moving abroad: visas, taxes, and the Spanish version of the IRS (spoiler: don’t mess with Hacienda).
  • What’s surprised her most about living in Spain (yes, even the credit cards work differently).
  • Why she’s pushing for a Spanish-language version of her book to serve first-gen families across borders.

We also get real about career pivots, the rise and fall of DEI budgets, navigating relationships with neurodivergence, and why sometimes the real flex isn’t retiring early—it’s having the freedom to choose how and when you work.
