In this week's episode, the ladies of Make Us Proud begin the discuss around finances - how to manage them and how we sometimes end up mismanaging them. While everyone always says money doesn't equate happiness, let's be real, having financial security is a privilege that can provide safety and in turn give space for the things that can make us happy. When we have a budget, reflect on our spending, and sometimes tighten the purse strings in order to protect our future financial stability, then it can allow us to worry less about some of the basic human needs. So, sit back, relax, and tune in to Joan, Lizzy, and Marcela's journey about how we found our way to some sense of financial security. In the coming weeks, we plan to have some guests on that will provide even more concrete evidence on how this week's tips and tricks really do make a difference. Enjoyed this episode?

Have you ever failed at something and just felt absolutely disappointed with yourself? Probably so...it seems to be a part of the human experience. And this week, Marcela, Joan, and Lizzy talk about some of the failures they experienced, what they learned from it, and how these failures are ultimately what got them to the moment they're at now. They discuss how important it actually is to fail because failure provides the blueprints for the next time we try something risky.

In this week's episode, Joan, Marcela, and Lizzy explore what it means to be successful. Our entire lives, we are told what success means, usually in the form of monetary gains or job promotions. In reality though, we have to get to a point where we stop comparing ourselves to others, stop yearning for the next big thing or promotion, and start finding joy in our passions. Marcela and Lizzy talk about how they were always pushed academically growing up and how that influenced their measure of success, and Joan talks about how she's always been taught to be a workaholic, and how toxic that trait actually is. If you too are thinking about what success looks like for you, or thinking about that next big job move...then this episode might be good for you!Make sure to join us on all our socials and to rate our podcast!

In this week's episode, Marcela, Joan, and Lizzy discuss what it means to take care of yourself - mentally, spiritually, and physically! A lot of people don't discover self care until they're going through a tough time or are feeling overwhelmed, but the reality is, we should be taking time out of every day and week to tend to ourselves! In the same way that you'd take care of your car by doing an oil change in order to prevent breakdown, you should do the same with yourself and your body, and this episode will share ways in which you can do just that...before the burnout. Joan shares about her experience with long term pain, and how she handled it, and each of the ladies share the importance for therapy....things get really, well, vulnerable.

If you're someone looking to just know you're not alone in the world when it comes to the difficulty and sometimes tumultuousness that is relationships in adulthood, then you've come to the right place.
