In this episode, I have my money coaching client, Telesh, on to talk about her money coaching wins after 6 months of working with me.
As a queer latina, she share her journey of working past feeling nervous to have money conversations, including her initial fear and shame around money, and how working with me helped her kick these feelings to the curb so she could help herself AND her immigrant family members make money moves.
She highlights her progress from being a debt-free business owner to investing in stocks and opening high-yield savings accounts and being confident she has a financial plan.
This episode is a must for anyone who needs to hear about how to have more proactive money converstations within your immigrant family so you're not worried about your parents' and loved ones' financial futures.
