What if everything you were taught about money was a lie?
What if “rich” wasn’t about a number but a blueprint?
In this episode of Gloves Off, I sat down with financial strategist and legacy builder Marysol Uribe to break open the myths we’ve all inherited about money especially as women, as daughters of immigrants, and as people raised in cultures where wealth was either taboo, misunderstood, or simply never talked about.
🎥 Watch the full episode:
We Never Talked About Money And That’s the Problem
Growing up, many of us only heard about money when it was a source of stress.
“Money doesn’t grow on trees.”
“Just get a good job and invest in your 401(k).
“Debt is just part of life.”
That was the script. But that script? It’s broken.
In this conversation, Marysol and I shared personal stories of unlearning and relearning financial truths—and the real strategies that actually build wealth and protect families.
What We Covered:
🔹 Redefining What “Rich” Means
Rich isn’t just about income. It’s about freedom, protection, and options. A fat paycheck doesn’t mean you’re wealthy if you’re buried in debt and financially vulnerable.
🔹 The Power of a Financial Blueprint
We’re not taught this in school, and most of our families didn’t have one. But without a financial blueprint, you’re just guessing. We talked about building real strategies from passive income to legacy planning that create long-term freedom.
🔹 More Than a 401(k)
News flash: a 401(k) is not a complete wealth strategy. It’s a piece of the puzzle, not the whole board. Most people don’t understand how money works because no one ever taught them. That’s where we come in.
🔹 Real Protection: Life Insurance, Trusts & Debt Tools
This wasn’t just theory. We talked about how to actually protect your wealth even if you’re just getting started. Life insurance. Trusts. Tax strategies. Smart debt consolidation. These aren’t just tools for the ultra-rich they’re essentials for anyone building real stability.
Cultural Programming Runs Deep
As two women of color who’ve navigated both professional spaces and personal healing, we unpacked the generational narratives that keep people in financial survival mode. The guilt. The silence. The shame. We’re breaking those cycles.
This conversation was bold, raw, and necessary. We didn’t sugarcoat it because real wealth doesn’t come from surface-level advice. It comes from telling the truth.
