In this episode, we had such a good conversation with Maideli Garcia. She is a Latina money coach helping WOC save, invest, and earn more without sacrificing JOY. She is the daughter of Mexican immigrants and First-Gen to attend college. She got her BA in Elementary Education and has taught in public, private, and even international schools. After experiencing burnout, Maideli pivoted out of teaching and into the tech space as a Learning Experience Designer. She now works remotely and has more energy and time to commit to her mission in helping WOC confidently take control of their finances.

We cover…

  • Her experiences being a Latina educator in public and private schools in the US and abroad
  • How she leveraged money to transition out of the classroom
  • The importance of having your finances in order so we can use our money to make the best decisions for ourselves
  • The power of healing our relationships with money 
  • How she and her siblings were able to retire her mom
  • And so much more!
