Broke is temporary. The stories are worth sharing.
Join Milly the Massage Therapist, a Puerto Rican mom and business owner, for honest conversations about life when the bills keep coming and the plans stop going to plan. From an injury that slowed her hustle to the messy process of figuring out what’s next, she’s sharing the setbacks, small wins, and things we don’t always admit out loud.
Expect humor, heart, and a little “what the hell?” as she navigates money, healing, motherhood, and starting over. No perfect comeback story; just life as it happens.

Episode 5: Finally, the Cannabis Episode; More Than Getting High
Yes, I enjoy getting high. No, that’s not the whole conversation. 🌿
This week, I’m sharing how cannabis became more than a personal habit; from finding my people in Connecticut’s cannabis community to traveling to Colorado to learn from my “weed mentor.” We’re talking curiosity, questioning stereotypes, advocating for yourself, and why loving a plant doesn’t mean believing every claim on the packaging.
Plus, a quick recovery update and a peek at my upcoming Cannabis 101 for Regular People and Bodyworkers’ courses.
Personal stories, a little science, and plenty of Milly. Come curious, whether you consume or not.
For education and conversation, not medical advice.

Update Episode: Recovery Headquarters: Pain, Support & Soooo Much Grace
The recovery plans were ambitious. My body had other ideas.
In this quick update, I’m checking in after ACL surgery with the messy reality: pain, exhaustion, a little emotion, and learning to give myself soooo much grace. Plus, gratitude for everyone showing up with meals, visits, donations, and even a cannabis goodie bag.
The cannabis episode is still coming. Right now, your girl is taking it one day at a time.

Episode 4: Apparently, I’m the patient now!
Apparently, I’m the patient now. With knee surgery coming up, I’m sharing how I’m preparing as a post-op massage therapist who knows the advice but still has to take it. From getting the spa and my recovery space ready to talking honestly about cannabis with my medical team, voting early, and accepting help, there’s a lot to handle before I sit my ass down. Personal experience, practical reminders, and a whole lot of gratitude for my village.

Episode 3: How the hell did I become a Temporary Broke Girl?
How does a girl with an MBA, a business, years of financial industry experience, and a once nearly perfect credit score end up broke? Apparently, it’s possible. In this episode, I’m unpacking my relationship with money, growing up in Hartford, almost 20 years of financial dependence, questionable decisions, credit card debt, dating disasters, and the wake-up calls that brought me here. It’s a long one, it’s personal, and yes, there’s some bochinche. Welcome to the backstory of how I became a Temporary Broke Girl.

Bonus episode:
Free tickets, $40 in Cheech and Chong costumes, and about $200 in prizes!
My best friend Maggie and I had an amazing night at a Halloween-themed cannabis bingo. A quick bonus episode about affordable fun and the guilt of spending when money is tight.
The budget is tight, but joy still deserves a little space.

Apparently I’m the Resource Person!
My budget may be limited, but my recommendations are apparently abundant. 😂
In episode 2, a pre-op appointment turns into a book club signup and a tutorial on free ebooks and audiobooks—because even when I’m there to get help, I’m still handing out resources.
I’m sharing some of my favorite ways to learn, connect, and enjoy life on a limited budget, from free business workshops to the library and community events. Plus, an honest conversation about bills, preparing for surgery, my GoFundMe, and why accepting help feels so much harder than giving it.
What’s a resource you wish more people knew about? Send it my way—you already know I’m going to tell somebody else.

Broke Is Temporary—Welcome to My Life
I’m Milly; a mom, a massage, business owner, and usually the one figuring out how to make it all work. But an injury put the brakes on my hustle, and now I’m figuring out what happens when you have to slow down and the bills don’t.
In this first episode, I’m sharing why I started Life as a Temporary Broke Girl and letting you into this chapter: the uncertainty, the small wins, and finding something to laugh about along the way. I don’t have it all figured out, but I’m ready to talk about it.
