#91: How to Make More Money Without Financial Anxiety or Burnout

Can you make six figures in your business and still feel financially insecure? Absolutely. And sometimes, the pressure you're using to make more money is the very thing preventing you from enjoying your financial success.

In this episode of Wealth Para Todos, host Rita Soledad Fernández Paulino (they/them), a queer Mexican-American money and self-care coach, shares how they built their first six-figure business using pressure, shame, and financial anxiety—and why they eventually had to change their approach.

Soledad explains how financial anxiety can lead entrepreneurs to overwork, avoid marketing their services, struggle with work-life boundaries, and constantly worry about money, even when their finances are stable.

You'll learn why feeling financially insecure isn't always the same as being financially insecure, how a weekly money routine can help you make more informed financial decisions, and how intentional self-care can support your capacity to grow a business without sacrificing your wellness.

Soledad also introduces the SCORE Framework, a 90-day approach to increasing business income through financial goal-setting, strategic planning, consistent outreach, reflection, and evaluation.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

  • Why pressure, shame, and anxiety can help you make more money but also contribute to business burnout.

  • How to distinguish financial anxiety from actual financial problems by knowing your numbers.

  • How physical, spiritual, and time-focused self-care can help you develop more patience, neutrality, and peace.

  • Why patience isn't the same as avoidance when you're trying to increase your business income.

  • How to set income goals, market your services consistently, and hold yourself accountable without relying on shame or urgency.

Whether you're a first-generation entrepreneur, therapist, educator, consultant, or coach, this episode will help you rethink your relationship with money, financial success, and business growth.

You deserve to increase your income, build wealth, and work toward early retirement without sacrificing your wellness. Poco a poco, todo con tiempo.
