Unfiltered & Unapologetic: Sanando el dinero, la identidad y el sistema nervioso — incluso las partes que la cultura nos enseñó a ignorar.
Unfiltered & Unapologetic blends money, nervous system regulation, faith, and cultural healing — especially for first-gen and children of immigrants who learned survival before stability.
Hosted by Caitlin Gil-Soto (MSF candidate), this is where we rewrite narratives around money, rest, boundaries, relationships, and self-worth with emotional depth, cultural context, and practical tools.
You’ll hear conversations on:
• Faith and identity
• Nervous system patterns and emotional trauma
• Money guilt, abundance, and financial healing
• Boundaries without fear
• Rest and softness as generational repair
• What it means to break cycles with compassion, not aggression
If you’re healing yourself while honoring where you come from — this podcast was made for you.

25. The Weight of Being the First: Family, Finances & Finding Yourself
There’s a moment in healing where you realize you’ve been carrying more than your age ever should’ve asked of you — translating, fixing, sending money, being the emotional glue, and showing up even when you're exhausted. This episode is for the first-gens, the oldest daughters, the strong ones, the bridge between cultures — the ones who love deeply but are tired of being strong by default. Today we’re naming the responsibility, the guilt, the love, the boundaries, and the right to build abundance without losing yourself.
🎧 Segment 1 — The Beginning of the Weight
How being the first shaped your identity, nervous system, and relationship with responsibility.
Journal Prompt: When did you first feel your family depended on you?
Affirmation: I can love my family without losing myself.
🎧 Segment 2 — Financial Expectations & Survival Mindset
How money became obligation, not just support — and how survival shaped your relationship with earning and giving.
Journal Prompt: Where have I confused generosity with guilt?
Affirmation: I can be generous without abandoning my own security.
🎧 Segment 3 — Boundaries, Guilt & Redefining Helping
Learning that “no” can also be love — and that helping doesn’t mean rescuing every time.
Journal Prompt: Where do I say yes out of pressure instead of peace?
Affirmation: I can love deeply without carrying other people’s responsibilities.
🎧 Segment 4 — Abundance & Faith Reframe
Rest is not rebellion — and peace is a spiritual inheritance, not a luxury.
Journal Prompt: Where have I mistaken survival for faith?
Affirmation: My peace is proof of my faith, and my rest is part of my abundance.
🎧 Segment 5 — Money, Legacy & The Right to Keep What You Earn
The guilt, nervous system rewiring, and emotional growth required when you’re the first to have enough.
Journal Prompt: Where do I still feel guilty for having more than I grew up with?
Affirmation: I honor my lineage by building stability — not sacrifice.
🎧 Segment 6 — Coming Home Softer
Allowing rest, tenderness, and softness to exist without apology or armor.
Journal Prompt: What does coming home softer look like for me?
Affirmation: I am safe to rest, receive, and be loved gently.
