bronché (v): spanglish word for brunch.
A podcast from by Julissa Contreras bringing voice into spaces where their perspective is often overshadowed; people who banter, bochinchan, and bronché.
In this episode of Ladies Who Bronché, Julissa and Ana N'Jie-Konte dive deep into the often-avoided topic of money and wealth management. They discuss the cultural influences that shape our financial mindsets, the importance of exit strategies for women founders, and the necessity of long-term planning in building wealth. Ana shares her insights on how to navigate financial advice, set realistic goals, and break the cycle of 'mattress money' to empower listeners to take control of their financial futures. The conversation emphasizes the need for open discussions about money, the impact of mindset on financial success, and the importance of financial literacy in breaking generational cycles of poverty.
