10 Stages of Financial Security Handout

In this episode, host Rita-Soledad Fernandez Paulino, a queer Mexican-American money and self-care coach, explores how job loss, especially due to external factors like politics or policy, can severely disrupt one's financial security, identity, and nervous system.

Soledad focuses on the concept of moral injury and how it affects money behavior. They outline the importance of building real financial security through awareness of financial literacy, knowledge of one's numbers, increasing income intentionally, and nurturing a positive money mindset.

This is supplemented by their D.I.V.E.R.S.E. self-care approach, which emphasizes nurturing the nervous system to make clear financial decisions post-layoff.

The episode ends with an invitation to join the Wealth Para Todos Academy for further support in building durable financial safety.
