Summary

Episode 260 talks about how to handle a layoff, featuring Orlenda Cortez of Pero I Can Do It Too! Listen now!

Orlenda Cortez is the founder of Pero I Can Do It Too, a platform helping women of color build a life they have never seen their family experience. She's a Money Coach who believes that you can reach your money goals by prioritizing fun.

Born in Guatemala, Orlenda started her money journey with ZERO knowledge and deep in debt. The phrase that kept her going was, “Pero, I Can Do It, Too.” She's here to tell you that if an undocumented Guatemalan can get out of debt, travel to beautiful places around the world, start investing for retirement, and prioritize mental health, YOU CAN DO IT, TOO!

On her online platforms and through her business, you'll find money tips to help you get out of survival mode and create the space to unapologetically heal and live the life you envision for yourself. This is what she challenges you with because she knows you are a badass that makes sh*t happen!
