Latina Financial Education, Investing & Wealth Building: MoneyChisme
MoneyChisme is a personal finance podcast for women of color ready to take control of their money, build wealth, and create financial independence.
Join Violeta Sandoval, a first-generation Latina investor and entrepreneur, for honest conversations about money management, investing for beginners, paying off debt, growing your income, and starting a business. Get practical strategies to build generational wealth—even if you’re the first in your family figuring this out.
We talk about the money questions you’ve been afraid to ask and the cultural expectations that can make building wealth complicated: supporting family, feeling guilty for wanting more, and learning financial lessons nobody taught you.
Through relatable stories, expert interviews, and candid hot takes, MoneyChisme makes financial education approachable and connects your money decisions to what matters: freedom, family, and community.
The mission? Help close the racial wealth gap and give more women of color the tools to build wealth on their own terms.
Subscribe to MoneyChisme for personal finance tips, real-life money conversations, and a little chisme. Let’s grow your money, buy back your time, and rewrite your family’s money story.

Before setting financial goals for 2026, it’s essential to audit your finances. This episode walks through a step-by-step, no-shame financial audit to help you see where your money actually went, understand your current numbers, and set realistic, aligned wealth-building goals.
We cover:
- How to assess your current financial “vital signs”
- How to track and evaluate your debt
- Understanding your net worth
- How to review your spending and create a realistic budget snapshot
- How to identify your current financial season (stabilize, grow, or scale)
- How to set financial goals that actually align with your life and priorities in 2026
This episode helps you break the cycle of repeating the same financial goals by slowing down, getting honest with your numbers, and building a solid foundation so your 2026 goals are intentional and achievable.
