On this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Edna Mariñelarena, a powerhouse in finance with deep roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Edna opens up about what it’s like growing up as a first-generation Latina in the U.S., how she became the family “financial floor,” and the emotional rollercoaster of supporting loved ones while building her own career. The conversation dives into why financial literacy matters (especially for women of color), how Savvy Ladies is changing the game by offering free financial advice, and real talk about negotiating those job offers. If you want behind-the-scenes insight on Latinas in finance, family expectations, and breaking the money taboo, this episode is a must-listen. Thank you to Savvy Ladies for supporting Cafe con Pam.

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam kicks off quarter two with an empowering deep dive into the concept of "rooted authority" for first-generation Latina leaders. Using real survey responses and her own career stories, Pam breaks down the four roots Latinas have been quietly building: translating, managing without authority, caring for everyone, and surviving visibility in spaces not made for them. By weaving these roots together, she shows how what once felt like a burden can actually become your biggest leadership flex. Get ready to feel seen, celebrated, and inspired to own your story!

On this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Alexis Evans—aka the “Contract Queen”—about how she made the jump from corporate life to landing multi-million dollar government contracts and building her own business empire in Florida. Alexis opens up about what it’s really like being a Black woman working in construction and government spaces, the big misconceptions about contracting, and why networking and showing up as your authentic self can make all the difference. If you’re an entrepreneur (especially a woman of color!) or just thinking about scaling your hustle, Alexis’s story and advice will inspire you to dream way bigger and take bold action.

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam addresses the recent revelations from civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who at 95 came forward to disclose Cesar Chavez’s sexual assault against her in the 1960s. With honesty and heart, Pam unpacks what Huerta’s story means for the Latinx community, the heavy silence so many women carry, and the complicated feelings that come when a cultural hero lets us down. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to stay quiet for the sake of family, community, or movement, this episode will resonate. It’s a deep dive into what it costs to keep those secrets—and what it means to finally speak out.

On this episode of Café con Pam, Pam sits down with Sahirenys Pierce, a powerhouse financial educator and the mind behind the High Five Banking Method. Sahirenys opens up about her experience growing up as a first-gen Dominican-American in San Diego, going through her family’s financial ups and downs during the 2008 recession, and how it pushed her to create new money habits (and eventually, her own book!). The conversation dives deep into real-life money struggles, learning to save even when no one taught you how, and how being intentional with your finances can seriously change your life—no matter where you start from.

In this solo episode of Café con Pam, Pam talks about what it actually means to feel certain—and why so many first-gen Latinas constantly feel like they're not enough for any room. We break down the difference between confidence (which we can fake) and certainty (which has to come from deep within), and shares why Calladita Culture was stealing our sense of wholeness before we even noticed. If you’ve ever felt too much or not enough, this episode is your reminder that your unique blend of identities is your superpower, not a flaw. Pam also walks us through simple, body-based (somatic) practices you can use anytime to anchor yourself back into who you really are, so you can show up with more authenticity—just in time for spring’s season of blooming.

This week on Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with the incredible Cindy Chavez Swenson—a Mexican-American PhD, educator, and founder behind the Rosca app. They dive into Cindy’s journey growing up as the child of Mexican immigrants, what it’s like being overlooked (and underestimated) in both academia and tech, and how her family’s values inspired her to create a fintech app that actually serves Latino communities. From stories about the original “Reading Olympics” snub to the power of gathering—for money, time, and support—Cindy is refreshingly real about the highs, lows, and everything in between.

This week on Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with scholars Petra Rivera-Rideau and Vanessa Díaz to dive into all things Bad Bunny, Puerto Rico, and what it really means to be Latinas in academia. The episode is equal parts inspiring and real as they open up about the struggles (and joys!) of being underrepresented in their field, how teaching a college class about Bad Bunny grew into a book, and why teaming up was their secret to making it all happen. Plus, they spill on why Bad Bunny’s music is way more than just catchy—it’s a window into Puerto Rican resilience and pride.   Thank you to Savvy Ladies for supporting Cafe con Pam.

In this solo episode of Café con Pam, Pam explores the complex relationship between rest, productivity, and leadership for first-generation Latinas and women navigating Calladita Culture. Drawing from her own experiences, client stories, and years of coaching, Pam unpacks why our bodies can interpret rest as unsafe, how cultural and generational patterns inform our nervous systems, and what it truly takes to rewire these survival responses. She also shares practical tapping exercises designed to help listeners teach their bodies that rest is safe and necessary for sustainable, values-aligned leadership.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking transformation, self-care, and empowered leadership in Latinx and multicultural communities.

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about those tough moments when you just don’t know what to do next—especially when everything in the world feels heavy. Pam opens up about what it means to rest with intention and reminds us that taking care of ourselves isn’t selfish, it’s actually revolutionary. We weave in wisdom from Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, Ana Castillo, and introduce Deepa Iyer’s Social Change Ecosystem to help us all find our place (and our peace) in movements for change.

In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about why typical manifestation advice just doesn’t cut it for first-gen Latinas and anyone navigating “Calladita culture.” She breaks down the actual science behind why just dreaming about your goals isn’t enough—plus, she shows how the brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) decides what opportunities you see (or don’t!). Pam shares her favorite methods for tapping into your potential, including writing vision scripts and using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to let go of that nagging guilt about wanting more. If you’re tired of spiritual bypassing and want some real talk about manifesting your dreams, this solo episode is for you!

In this inspiring episode of Café con Pam, Pam welcomes musician, author, and disability advocate Lachi for a real talk about life, creativity, and breaking barriers. Lachi opens up about her Nigerian roots, what it was like growing up as the youngest of seven in an immigrant family, and her journey to embracing her blindness and neurodivergence in the music industry. The conversation gets honest about stereotypes, self-advocacy, and why it’s so important to make spaces (like the Grammys!) more accessible for everyone. Plus, there’s plenty of laughs, coffee talk, and a sneak peek into Lachi’s new book, I Identify as Blind. If you’re looking for practical wisdom, a dose of realness, and a reminder to celebrate your authentic self, this episode is it.
