On this episode of The Get Ready Money Podcast, I spoke with Linda Ta Yonemoto, financial literacy advocate and educator, about helping first-generation women build wealth, gain confidence, and create financial legacies.


🔹 Your worth is not defined by your wealth. 

🔹 Money is a tool to build freedom
 🔹 Design your life first, then build your financial strategy around it
 🔹 Learn to navigate financial systems not built with you in mind
 🔹 Advisors must understand diverse money scripts and cultures
 🔹 Trust building is key—especially for first-generation clients
 🔹 Money in the hands of good people creates positive impact
