On this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Edna Mariñelarena, a powerhouse in finance with deep roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Edna opens up about what it’s like growing up as a first-generation Latina in the U.S., how she became the family “financial floor,” and the emotional rollercoaster of supporting loved ones while building her own career.<br /><br />The conversation dives into why financial literacy matters (especially for women of color), how Savvy Ladies is changing the game by offering free financial advice, and real talk about negotiating those job offers. If you want behind-the-scenes insight on Latinas in finance, family expectations, and breaking the money taboo, this episode is a must-listen.<br /><br />Thank you to Savvy Ladies for supporting Cafe con Pam.
