Welcome to Season 8 of Yo Quiero Dinero.

In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on the lessons that defined 2025, my first year as a mom, nearly five years as a full-time entrepreneur, and over a decade of intentional financial decisions that made this season of life possible. From redefining success and asking for help, to choosing the right partner, building wealth, and walking away from traditional timelines, this episode is a reminder that financial freedom doesn’t happen by accident it’s built, one intentional decision at a time. I'm breaking down down how money impacts every area of your life, from parenting and relationships to peace of mind and challenges you to stop talking yourself out of the life you say you want. If you’re stepping into 2026 ready to move with clarity, confidence, and purpose, this episode is for you.
