    Episode 7 - Defying age and cultural norms

    On today’s podcast, we break the myth that a money matriarch must be an older woman from a particular background. We introduce Jennifer L. Llerena, a millennial who grew up in an immigrant family. We hear her perspective as a grandmillennial, her generation’s struggle with student debt, just edging past the cutoff in employment opportunities before the 2008 financial crisis, and her insights on rising home prices. Jennifer also discusses the expectation and the emergence of remote job availability and how these factors have changed family planning and spending habits. Jennifer shares how being a woman and growing up in an immigrant family influenced her subconscious money story about her worth in the workplace and in general. She highlights the struggle women face in asking for what they want and the power of clearly speaking one's desires.Additionally, we explore how conscious and subconscious money stories for women of Jennifer’s generation, particularly in the age of Instagram, contribute to the normalization of living with debt and how she learned to take charge of that mentality. Lastly, we delve into Jennifer's journey into the financial planning world, exploring the unique value that women bring to the profession. Jennifer shares her experiences and insights on the contributions women make in financial planning, highlighting their strengths in empathy, communication, and holistic financial guidance.We also address the existing limitations and challenges that prevent more women from entering the profession.
