What if starting over in Canada became the beginning of your strongest season yet? In this episode of Unpacked & Empowered Finances, Marianne Agudo speaks with Samantha Paz y Mino, an Ecuadorian educator and newcomer to Canada, about courage, confidence, community, and rebuilding life in a new country.

Samantha shares her journey of leaving Ecuador, adjusting to life in Canada, preserving language and identity, and learning how proactive networking and personal growth helped her thrive. This conversation is especially meaningful for newcomers, immigrants, parents, and anyone navigating change.
