In Our Learning Era (A New Series)

For Pia & Paula, learning is a never-ending process. With
immigrant parents, they've had to figure out important US
milestones like college applications, filing taxes, finding a
doctor, and pumping gas (shout out to New Jersey) on their own.
In this episode, the sisters share the obstacles they've faced in
their young adulthood that no one bothered to teach them about
sooner! 


Everyone is constantly learning, and it's totally okay not to
have all the answers. Life is full of challenges, and Pia &
Paula encourage you to embrace them! Pia shares her experience
navigating the early stages of homeownership while Paula opens up
about guiding her younger siblings through the FAFSA and SATs.
They also touch on creating an LLC, the humble beginnings of this
podcast, and the first steps to becoming an influencer.
