| EP. 21 Dear NYT: Latinas Are Redesigning the Workplace, Not Ruining It | 14 Nov 2025 | 00:07:28 | |
In today’s solo episode, Evie dives deep into a wild headline from a recent New York Times article: “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” Yes, someone actually asked that in 2025. But instead of just rolling her eyes (which she does too, let’s be real), Evie flips the script and delivers a fire truth bomb: women didn’t ruin the workplace — we revealed what was already broken. From uncovering the outdated systems built by and for men to calling out the power of Latina voices in reshaping corporate culture, this episode is both a mic drop and a call to action. Evie gets honest about how asking for your worth isn’t “ruining” anything — it’s rebuilding everything in a way that honors equity, humanity, and self-worth. Plus, Evie kicks things off by sharing fire listener reviews and how The Págame Podcast is becoming a hub of inspiration for first-gen Latinas navigating career growth, money trauma, and mindset breakthroughs.

Have you ever looked at your paycheck, realized you’re making more money than your parents ever did, and still felt broke? That was me. At 22, I hit a financial rock bottom. My credit score was in the 400s, my bank account was constantly empty, and even though I was earning $50k as an engineer in San Diego, I was living paycheck to paycheck.

I went from being broke, overwhelmed, and scared of money to becoming financially empowered, negotiating higher salaries, and building a six-figure investment portfolio by 2019. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the exact steps I took to transform my money story, reclaim my financial power, and set myself up for long-term wealth.
