EP 2. The Purpose of Págame: Healing Money Trauma & Rebuilding Your Self-Worth

In this foundational episode, Evie shares the personal story and mission behind Págame Podcast — a show created to help women of color rebuild their self-worth, heal money trauma, and confidently negotiate for what they deserve. She opens up about growing up low-income, navigating mental health stigma, healing from PTSD, and redefining her narrative around money and abundance. Evie discusses how childhood experiences shape our beliefs about worthiness, success, and the fear of asking for more. She also breaks down why so many women of color struggle with imposter syndrome in male-dominated fields, and how shifting your beliefs can directly impact your earning potential and career trajectory. If you're ready to overcome fear, release limiting beliefs, and step into a more empowered version of yourself, this episode sets the foundation for everything this podcast will explore.Episode Highlights:00:55 — Why self-worth is the root of salary negotiation success 02:10 — Growing up low-income & internalizing money as conflict 04:20 — Healing money trauma and redefining your beliefs 06:18 — From underpaid engineer → highest-paid on her team 10:32 — How beliefs about money shape your negotiation behavior 12:25 — The power of reframing limiting beliefs 14:40 — Building a community centered on self-worth and abundanceIf this episode resonates, subscribe and leave a review to help this show reach more women of color stepping into their power.Keywords: money trauma healing, Latina empowerment, career confidence, salary negotiation mindset, women of color leadershipLet's Work TogetherIf you want a resume that positions you for higher-paying roles, apply for Evie’s 1:1 Resume Intensive.Until next time amigas ✨Rate this PodcastIf you're loving this content, please give this podcast a 5 star rating and leave your loving review.
