Podcast: Yo Quiero Dinero
Published On: Mon Jan 05 2026
Description: 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.WHAT WE GET INTO00:01 – Kicking off Season 8 and welcoming listeners into 202600:36 – Why solo episodes are back and what to expect this year02:06 – Surviving the first year of motherhood and reflecting on 202503:30 – Stepping back from the mic and redefining productivity as a new mom04:55 – Why being intentional about who you have kids with matters06:28 – Planning for support, finances, and the realities of parenthood07:55 – Lessons learned from the Jefas y Mamás series08:45 – Why asking for help is essential and burnout isn’t a flex10:10 – Breaking generational cycles of exhaustion and overwork11:18 – How money directly impacts your quality of life13:10 – Why financial stress affects every role you play14:20 – Gratitude for past financial decisions that created present peace15:40 – The danger of settling for “stability” instead of freedom16:55 – Building financial runway in your 20s for long-term flexibility18:10 – Turning 40 and entering a more aligned season of life19:25 – Letting go of traditional timelines and societal expectations20:56 – Questioning the life you built and exploring alternatives22:10 – Discovering financial independence as a path to freedom23:19 – Facing debt without accepting “work forever” as the answer24:45 – Debt payoff strategies that changed everything25:45 – Learning how investing actually works27:00 – Quitting corporate America and becoming a full-time entrepreneur27:41 – Why financial freedom is built intentionally29:00 – Making the decision to want more — and act on it29:45 – Introducing the New Year Dinero Reset Guide30:04 – Season 8 kickoff gratitude and final reflectionsRESOURCES MENTIONEDFree Download: New Year Dinero Reset GuideA 10-step checklist to reset your finances for the new year — covering debt, budgeting, investing, insurance, and estate planning.👉 http://courses.yoquierodineropodcast.com/resetHave a question? leave me a voicemail https://www.speakpipe.com/msg/s/449160/2/u79sz3qexqzyh0Book: Financially Lit by Jannese TorresThe step-by-step blueprint for paying off debt, investing intentionally, and using money to buy your freedom.This podcast was produced and edited by Idea to Launch Productions Hosted on Acast.
