Have you ever heard the story of someone who managed to overcome a dire financial situation and immediately thought “I would love to know how they did it”? I know I have! As any curious human would do, I’m always on the lookout for stories that showcase what others have done to overcome hurdles, especially if those roadblocks were money-related. In this episode, Kara Perez, the founder of Bravely Go, an award-winning financial education company, will share with us how she overcame some major financial challenges and how the experience shaped her. 

 Financial resilience is probably one of the most important skills you will ever develop. The ability to bounce back from setbacks and be strategic when organizing your priorities will always serve you well. The only problem with this? A huge catch-22:  to develop financial resilience you have to “walk the talk”, as Kara Perez's story aptly demonstrates. 

Kara grew up on the East Coast and, just as many of us do, she was raised in an environment where money was tight. And yet, at the tender age of 24, she decided that enough was enough and managed to pay back her student loans, fix her finances, and build a community that teaches people how to make sustainable money choices.  In this week’s episode, Kara will share with us her story and the big takeaways she got out of her journey. 

In this episode you will learn: 

• Kara’s story on becoming financially resilient. 
• Thought-provoking insights on the gender wealth gap and why this matters.
• Two things Latinas can do to minimize the impact of the gender wealth gap.
