Replying to @Evie Translation VS Transcreation
“While translation focuses on replacing the words in one language with corresponding words in a new language, transcreation services is focused on conveying the same message and concept in a new language.”
No wonder this feels so much harder ! 🥵
A simple Google translate or ChatGPT prompt can translate. But that’s not good enough for an all Spanish webinar.
Thankful to have had @spanishconale support to help me transcreate my English to business level Spanish
Ale is on vacation but thankfully I’m able to continue tutoring with @aokresumes . For homework , she suggested I immerse myself in all Spanish:
🔥 Netflix in Spanish (currently watching Emily in Paris dubbed in Spanish)
🔥 Podcasts in Spanish (my go tos are Se Regalan Dudas and Maldita Pobreza)
🔥 Phone calls with my grandma, dad and sister @elisaballesterosf
🔥 Spanish music (good thing I’m going to the Selena tribute concert tomorrow, who’s going ?!💃🏽)
🔥 Spanish at home with English speaking husband 😔
🔥 Traba Lengas (Tres tristes tigers anyone?)
🔥Practicing Spanish answers out loud
Which one of these can you start incorporating into your everyday life?

🍎 Spanish check in time!
Three months ago, I shared that I was sick and tired of Ben Affleck speaking better Spanish than me. I publicly declared that 2023 will be the year I learn how to speak business level Spanish.
This month I started one-on-one tutoring with @Spanish Conale
During our tutoring sessions she helps me translate my English responses to Spanish, corrects my pronunciation and helps me practice my answers out loud so they sound more natural and less rehearsed.
Here's a behind the scenes look at the uncomfy part of re-learning Spanish 👀
When I shared my original video, many of you echoed what I said and shared you too wanted to improve your Spanish. This is your reminder to make it happen! Remember a goal without a plan is just a wish

Book writing is not for the faint of heart! The highs and lows of writing a book📚
Check out my podcast interview with my book writing coach, @Stacy Ennis, M.A. on her podcast Beyond Better with Stacy Ennis.
We talked about all things book writing! Here are just a few of the topics we covered:
⭐️The inspiration for my book and why first-gen money advice should be different
⭐️ The moment I learned I won a $50,000 writing grant—and what I did afterward to be successful in completing my book
⭐️ Apps and practices I used to get me into the writing mode
⭐️The highs and lows of the book-writing process
⭐️Advice I wish I'd gotten earlier in my creator journey (spoiler: it's about scarcity mindset)
Stacy and I became good friends during our 6 months working together which made this interview more raw and authentic.
You can listen to it on wherever you listen to podcasts

Do you know the difference between a high yield savings account and a Roth IRA?
It can be easy to confuse one for the other. Especially when you are just starting your money journey and learning about all the new different types of accounts and terms for them.
The thing to keep in mind is the highest savings account is NOT an investment account. It’s simply a fancier savings account.
This means that the money in this account is not invested in the stock market. It’s safely stored at your bank and protect by the FDIC.
Take advantage of both accounts to make wiser use of your money!
Do you have a Roth? A HYSA? Both?
