So often, bilingual parenting and finances feel like two separate struggles. But here, you’ll see how they actually go hand-in-hand because when we empower ourselves as moms, our kids benefit in every way: linguistically, emotionally, and financially.
Let this episode be your invitation to show up for yourself, mamá. It’s time to strengthen your home’s language foundation and take that first (or next) step toward financial confidence.
Listen now and share it with a mamá who could use this double dose of empowerment.
