  • The Psychology of Money: How Identity, Trauma, and Healing Shape Our Financial Lives

    Money is never just about math. It is memory, fear, identity, and survival wrapped into daily decisions. Drawing from his journey from Guatemala to boardrooms, Elvis Rivera unpacks how childhood scarcity, cultural expectations, and unhealed trauma quietly drive our financial behavior. This talk reframes budgeting and wealth building through a human lens, helping audiences understand why discipline alone is not enough. Participants learn how to recognize emotional spending, rewrite inherited money narratives, and align their financial goals with personal healing and purpose.

    • Identify money beliefs formed through lived experience
    • Replace shame with clarity in financial decision-making

    “Forward isn’t a direction — it’s a decision.” Based on the 14 principles from "Pa’lante: The Long Way Forward," this keynote helps audiences move from survival to intention. Elvis Rivera shares how progress is built through daily recommitment rather than perfect conditions. Through story, reflection, and practical application, participants learn how to keep momentum during uncertainty, burnout, and change.
