For Financial Literacy Month, this week’s episode is with Rita-Soledad Fernández Paulino, former public school math teacher and founder of Wealth Para Todos. Soledad breaks down how she and her husband are on track to retire by 45—not through flashy schemes, but by shifting from survival mode to long-term wealth planning. We talk about the power of financial education in our communities, how Latinos can build wealth without coming from money, and why self-care isn’t just about spa days—it’s about building the life you actually want, one smart decision at a time.

What happens when power is ignored, abused, or taken back? In this episode, we break down the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a Maryland man sent to a Salvadoran mega-prison despite a court ruling protecting him—and the Trump administration’s outright refusal to comply with a Supreme Court order. Meanwhile, Puerto Rico faces yet another massive blackout, leaving millions without power and prompting artists like Bad Bunny to speak out. And at Coachella, Latino artists are showing up stronger than ever, reclaiming the spotlight on one of music’s biggest stages. From government defiance to cultural power moves, we explore what resistance looks like across courts, islands, and festival stages.

As a part of Financial Literacy Month, Dramos is joined by Dr. Paul Rivera—co-founder of BeActChange and a man whose journey spans academia, diplomacy, international economics, and strategic coaching. We dive into the harsh realities behind the so-called “American Dream,” especially for Latinos. From financial stress to mental health struggles, we unpack the hidden costs of chasing success in the U.S. and explore whether it’s all even worth it. Dr. Rivera shares his perspective as someone who left the U.S. to start a new life in the Dominican Republic with his family, offering a fresh lens on what real success can look like when you step outside the box and reject the hustle-at-all-costs mindset.

Mente is building spaces where young Americans can find connection and healing amid the mental health crisis. In this episode, we dive into how financial hardships—from childhood struggles to adult money trauma—shape our mental wellbeing, and how breaking free from limiting beliefs can be a path toward both financial and emotional freedom.

In this out-of-this-world episode of In Our Own World, we take a journey through memories, emotions, and cosmic wisdom with a special guest who’s no stranger to the spotlight. Becky G sits down with her real-life friends, our beloved Space Commanders, Em and Gem—and what unfolds is nothing short of magical.

From iconic first impressions and what they had to do with a Selena bustier, to the nerves that still sneak in before she hits the stage, Becky G gets raw and real. She shares a heartfelt message to her younger self, her honest definition of love, breaks down the deeply personal layers behind her latest albums, and sheds light on how she stays rooted while navigating the chaos of stardom. No filter, no front.

Things get unhinged when Becky G takes on a ridiculous accent challenge—while reading her own quotes. Southern belle? Check. Shakespearean actor? Check. It’s high art, really. Consider yourself warned.

This is Becky G unplugged, unfiltered, and completely unforgettable.

Tune in for big laughter, true vulnerability, and major inspo—this episode is a time capsule on friendship and a reminder that even the brightest stars are still human. 

Featuring: Becky G, Emily Estefan, Gemeny Hernandez

We start with the Alien Enemies Act of 1798—a centuries-old law that’s suddenly back in the conversation. What does it mean, and how could it impact immigrants today? Then, we dive into the rift between Senate Democrats, as Michael Bennet openly criticizes Chuck Schumer’s leadership—what’s behind the tension, and what does it mean for the party moving forward? We also tackle a hard truth: undocumented immigrants pay billions in taxes while billionaires dodge them—how does the system keep letting this happen?

Success isn’t built in the spotlight—it’s forged in the quiet, uncelebrated grind. In this episode, we dive into the reality of doing the work day in and day out with no immediate results. Kevin Hart talks about how the hardest part of success is showing up every day, even when it feels like nothing is happening. But that’s the price of greatness—patience, discipline, and trust in the process. Because when the moment finally comes, the euphoria of achievement will always outweigh the pain it took to get there. Are you willing to put in the work when no one is watching?
