In this podcast episode, we host special guest Lyanne Alfaro, a first-generation Mexican from Chicago and a journalist advocating for the Latinx community. We discuss the evolving narrative around Latinx individuals in the United States, highlighting their contributions to the economy, resilience during the pandemic, and increased representation in corporate America and venture capital. This conversation also touches on the challenges of rising living costs, inflation, and food deserts in Latinx communities. We emphasize the importance of representation, entrepreneurship, and community support for the Latinx experience in the United States. 

Lyanne tells stories about what’s next in the world of technology, business and entrepreneurship. A journalist turned multi-hyphenate, she's especially passionate about exploring the Latino influence in the world of business. She has launched a newsletter and podcast all about it called Moneda Moves. She's first generation, Mexicana and hails from Chicago. Most recently, she was at Nasdaq on a small team that reimagined the way we covered companies going public on the stock exchange. On any given day, she hosted live segments spotlighting entrepreneurs and produced Nasdaq's first podcast: Tomorrow's Capital.

In this episode, I bring in a special guest Miriam Lara-Mejia to help us release the shame we may have against our bodies.  As someone who has always struggled with their weight, I have been working on my self love journey and I share more about how gordaphobia has impacted my life. Miriam breaks down how our cultura and society play a big impact to the way we perceive ourselves and our bodies. This episode goes deep into rewiring our perception of being Fat/Gorda. 

Miriam Lara-Mejia is an educator and mom on a mission to empower parents to raise kids who know and accept themselves and who celebrate body diversity for all. Drawing on her 15+ years of experience developing popular education health materials and her unique multicultural perspective, Miriam uses her platform to talk about body liberation, self acceptance, and bodypositive parenting. She pokes fun at fatphobia in the Latinx community, peeling back layers of trauma, intergenerational violence, and resilience through humor and community. Miriam’s content inspires critical thinking, makes people laugh, empowers the cycle breakers, and breaks down the barriers that prevent people from knowing and accepting themselves.

In this episode, we break down the hype of High Yield Savings Accounts. We discuss how to leverage a HYSA as a tool to build your savings while gaining interest rates of 3-4%. There was a report from WSJ discussing how millions of dollars are given to banks because most individuals don’t take advantage of high interest savings accounts. I dare you to check your savings % rate, is it .01%-.03%? If so, it’s time to start saving with a high yield savings account! 

Mis cuentas favoritas are: Ally Bank, Discover Bank, Capital One, WealthFront
