Thank you to Susana for being a really important voice in this space. There is so "mom content" out in these internet streets that is purely detached from reality and we're so here for the real-deal messaging that Susana shares with women & moms. We love the fact that she's giving mom's permission to level up and not sacrifice themselves by putting themselves first. A perfect way to end season 4 of the Yo Quiero Dinero podcast.
