Mayra Garcia lost her home in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. As she puts it, "I got into a mess financially." But she didn't let that stop her. Within a few years, Mayra had turned her finances around, became a certified financial advisor, and now dedicates her time to educating the Latine community on personal finances. All while juggling a career, parenthood, and her many identities as a wife, friend, and podcaster.

I was so inspired by Mayra's story, specially when she shared her journey to full-time entrepreneurship and her decision to pivot and return to the workforce full time. Tune in to listen how you can make a game plan to get out of debt and start reaching both your short term and long term goals!
