In this inspiring episode of the Latin Wealth Podcast, host Chris sits down with financial educator, author, and powerhouse speaker Yanely Espinal, also known as @missbehelpful. Yanely shares her incredible journey growing up in a Dominican household with nine siblings in Brooklyn, NY, to becoming a national voice for financial education and policy change.

Now the Director of Educational Outreach at NextGen Personal Finance and a member of CNBC’s Financial Wellness Council, Yanely breaks down how she overcame credit card debt, why she became passionate about personal finance, and what needs to change in the U.S. education system. She also dives deep into the importance of financial literacy for Latino families, how she launched her YouTube channel, and how she's helping push legislation to require personal finance education in all 50 states by 2030.

We also talk about AI’s role in the future of education, how Latinas can set up their families for generational wealth, and her best-selling book, Mind Your Money.

This is a must-watch for first-gen entrepreneurs, educators, and anyone looking to break generational cycles and build real financial empowerment.
