1. Harness Financial Wellness for Greater Self-Care

Financial wellness is a crucial aspect of self-care. Research shows that managing your finances effectively can reduce stress and boost your overall well-being. It’s all about nurturing yourself in every way possible. Elevate your self-care routine by embarking on your financial wellness journey—your future self will thank you!

2. Align Your Money with Your Values

When your financial decisions align with your core values, you’ll unlock a deeper sense of clarity, purpose, and fulfillment. Understanding this alignment can turn your financial journey into one of genuine meaning and contentment. It can guide you towards decisions that resonate with who you are, ensuring that every step you take is in harmony with your true self.

 “When we take control of our money and align it with our values, it unlocks a whole new level of freedom and abundance. It’s about honoring the sacredness of our resources and using them to fuel our visions and the legacy we’re creating as the ancestors we’ll become.”

–  Ana Flores, Founder and Co-Chairwoman of #WeAllGrow

3. Picture Your Financially Thriving Self

As Latinas, we juggle numerous roles and responsibilities that can significantly impact our well-being. Taking time to define what financial wellness means for you is crucial.

4. Embrace Financial Education as an Invitation 

Embracing financial wellness might feel daunting, especially if you’re the first in your family to take this step. Think of financial education as a gateway to growth. By learning and applying these concepts, you’re investing in your future and creating a positive ripple effect for your loved ones, inspiring and benefiting those around you.

5. Seek Support and Guidance

As you work toward financial wellness, don’t hesitate to seek the support you need. Whether it’s a financial coach, planner, or life insurance agent, asking for help is a positive step towards your goals. Embrace this support with confidence—there’s no shame in reaching out for guidance to help you thrive, amiga!

“You have to figure it out. Who is that person who’s going to actually push me to do that thing that I know is urgent and I know it matters so much to my financial well-being, but I don’t feel that I’m able to do it on my own or it’s too difficult for me at this time?”

Yanely Espinal, Author & Director, Next Gen Personal Finance

6. Protect What Matters Most

Life insurance might not always come to mind when thinking about self-care, but it’s a key part of a holistic approach. It can provide financial security for your loved ones, ensuring they are protected if something happens to you. Whether it’s supporting your family, contributing to a charity, or securing your business’s future by covering debts and preserving ownership, life insurance can help you protect what matters most to you. 

“In its simplest form, life insurance is just a financial tool that provides financial protection for your loved ones in the event of your death. Life insurance is not just a financial product. It’s a practical expression of love and care for your family.”

Erika Estrada, Life Sales Agent, Nationwide

7. Create Your Financial Legacy

Incorporating financial wellness into your self-care routine allows you to shape the legacy you want to leave behind consciously. It’s natural to feel some guilt when focusing on yourself, but the truth is that investing in your financial health empowers you to make a more significant impact on others. By committing to your financial wellness, you’re not only securing your future but also equipping yourself with the means to support and uplift those around you.

“We can choose what we inherit. We can choose what we decide to take on as baggage, what we decide to take on as a lesson. And looking at self-care is meant to be holistic because there’s so many aspects of it. It’s not linear the way that growth is not linear.” 

Vanessa Santos, Partner & CEO, #WeAllGrow
