Jefas Y Mamás is my brand-new podcast series, and I couldn’t be more excited to share it with you!
As a first-time mom and the creator of Yo Quiero Dinero® , I’m navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood and entrepreneurship—and let me tell you, it’s a journey like no other.
This series is all about having real, unfiltered conversations on what it truly means to balance business, family, personal growth, and breaking generational cycles.
We’re tackling everything from mom guilt to building a strong support system and embracing work-life balance, because let’s be real—being a mompreneur isn’t easy, but we’re making it happen!
If you’re a jefa trying to figure out how to do it all on your own terms, this series is for you!
Episode 321 talks about how to incorporate self care into motherhood, featuring return guest of the show Rita-Soledad Fernández Paulino of Wealth Para Todos. Listen now!
Rita-Soledad Fernández Paulino is the founder and CEO of Wealth Para Todos, a money and self-care coaching company dedicated to empowering BIPOC, women, and LGBTQ+ communities.
A Queer Mexican-American and former math teacher, Soledad turned their experience with autoimmune health issues, PTSD, and ADHD into a mission to teach others how to achieve financial independence without sacrificing their wellness.
Wealth Para Todos provides coaching, education, and resources that help individuals create financial plans that prioritize D.I.V.E.R.S.E. self-care, allowing them to work because they want to, not because they have to.

In this episode, Soledad opens up about her journey as a money and self-care coach, and how finding financial security became part of a much bigger picture.

We dive into the realities of balancing motherhood, cultural expectations, and the pressure to hold it all together while trying to hold onto your sense of self.
