In this episode, Catalina Del Carmen sits down with Anna N’Jie-Konte for a real conversation about money, survival, and building wealth from scratch. Anna shares what it was like growing up with financial instability, how that shaped her relationship with money, and what it actually takes to become a first-generation wealth builder.

They talk about risk (the kind nobody prepares you for), lifestyle creep, why “making more money” doesn’t automatically fix your money problems, and what it really means to have financial support — emotionally and strategically. This isn’t fluffy finance talk. It’s honest, practical, and rooted in self-awareness.

If you’re trying to be the one who changes the money story in your family, this episode will hit.
