Danilae Smith Episode 30

Your exhausted, overwhelmed brain cannot make good financial decisions, and that's by design.

In this powerful conversation with Rita-Soledad Fernández Paulino, founder of Wealth Para Todos, we dive deep into the critical link between financial wellness and self-care. For marginalized communities especially, the path to financial freedom isn't just about numbers, it's about healing generational trauma and breaking free from survival mode thinking.

Through their own journey from managing disability checks to building a thriving business, Soledad discovered that sustainable financial success requires more than just budgeting skills. The real transformation happens when we address the emotional and physical toll of financial stress, particularly for children of immigrants and communities of color who carry generations of money trauma.

Whether you're struggling with debt, trying to build wealth, or simply ready to transform your relationship with money, this episode provides practical tools for creating financial wellness without sacrificing your health. Learn why self-care isn't a luxury, it's a crucial foundation for making aligned financial decisions.
