8. “We Don’t Talk About Money”: Dominican Money Trauma, Generational Blocks & Abundance Mindset
Money is not just math — it’s mindset, memory, and the messages we inherited in silence.
In this episode, we unpack Dominican money trauma and how it lives in our nervous system, relationships, careers, and sense of self-worth. We trace it back to our abuelos’ survival, confront the scarcity mindset that keeps us stuck, and begin to rewrite the story — with softness, with faith, and with full permission to thrive.
