183. Why First Gen Latinas Struggle to Ask for More And How to Change That With Career Coach Evie Prete

Have you ever gotten a raise and immediately thought, I am going to get fired? Have you ever avoided looking at your debt because something about that number feels like it says something about who you are? If you are first-gen, you probably were not taught how to build wealth. You were taught how to survive with money. And there is a big difference.In this episode, I sit down with a career coach Evie Prete who has been in the trenches of this work for years, helping first gen Latinas/WOC stop undervaluing themselves, start asking for what they are actually worth, and build the kind of identity that can hold more money without self-sabotaging it away. We get real about our own stories, and what it actually took to go from knowing we needed to do something different with money to actually doing it.This episode is for you if you have ever felt like asking for more was ungrateful, if you have ever taken a job offer at the bottom of the salary band when you deserved to be at the top, or if you have ever wondered why building wealth feels so hard even when you know all the right steps.You'll learn:✨ Why survival money advice keeps you in protection mode and how to start shifting toward a wealth-building mindset✨ How your nervous system responds to debt, salary negotiations, and financial wins, and why getting neutral matters before the strategy does✨ How visualization and journaling help your body get familiar with a version of your life it has never lived before, so you can actually receive it when it arrives✨ Why detaching from the outcome of a negotiation is not about not wanting it, it is about showing up from your value instead of your fearThis conversation is the one you did not know you needed. It is honest, it is warm, and it is going to give you a lot to think about, journal on, and move through.Connect with Evie: Salary Negotiation Checklist Pagame PodcastLet's connect:Website: www.buildinggenwealth.comInstagram: @building.gen.wealthLearn more about 1:1 Money Coaching: www.buildinggenwealth.com/moneycoaching
