My mission is to remove the cultural stigma around money, so that you feel less alone and more equipped to start running toward your fears. If you’re ready to have a healthier and more purposeful relationship with money, you’re in the right place!
I’m Meghan, a mom of 2 young boys, a financial planner, and emotional spender. Despite being a financial planner, I’ve never truly felt a sense of control over my own financial situation. Even though I had the knowledge of financial tools and strategies, I just couldn’t seem to implement and I avoided it altogether. When I finally decided to explore my relationship with money and all the thoughts, beliefs and stories that come with it, I started noticing major shifts in my spending patterns. I began feeling less afraid and started feeling calmer and more confident in my financial decisions. And I’m here to share my journey with you!

Money and Motherhood with Nathalia Segoviano
Today I'm sharing my conversation with Nathy Segoviano, creator of Chapina Building Wealth (formerly Mom Money Boss).
Nathalia is just amazing. She’s so smart and real and her story is one that I feel like so many of us can relate to. And it’s inspiring – she took her life into her own hands and instead of stressing she did things about it to move herself forward.
Nathalia Sevogiano is a money coach who specializes in teaching women, moms, and people of color how to level up their finances.
Her passion for teaching finances came out of her own financial journey. In 2018, she was in $18,312.27 of credit card debt, in addition to student loan debt and car debt. In 2017, she became the primary breadwinner in her family and she knew things had to change.
Thanks to financial literacy, she was able to become credit card debt free in 2021. She now supports her family of 3 on one income, less than 100k. She’s on track to become a millionaire before the age of 55 and being able to retire not only herself, but her husband as well. She did this by creating a financial plan and now she helps others do the same.
