Her Dinero Matters

Jen Hemphill is an Accredited Financial Counselor who started Her Dinero Matters to fill a gap she saw in personal finance media: almost nothing spoke to the specific financial experiences of Latinas and bilingual families. Over 430 episodes and a decade of production, she has built one of the most respected niche finance podcasts around, earning a 4.8 star rating from listeners who value the cultural specificity she brings. The format mixes solo episodes where Jen breaks down financial concepts with interview episodes featuring guests who share their personal money journeys. Episodes run about 20-30 minutes, which makes them easy to fit into a commute or lunch break. Jen has a gift for making financial topics feel personal rather than abstract. When she talks about debt recovery or building an emergency fund, she connects it to real cultural dynamics around money, family expectations, and the particular challenges that first-generation wealth builders face. Note that the show's most recent episode is from June 2025, so it appears to be on hiatus or may have wrapped up. The back catalog remains incredibly valuable though. Jen's bilingual perspective and her focus on actionable strategies rather than theory make this a unique resource in the financial literacy space. If you grew up in a household where money was complicated and culturally loaded, Jen gets it in a way that most personal finance hosts simply don't. The archive alone is worth working through for anyone building financial confidence from a multicultural background.
