Hi, I’m Menchie Suarez-Tacata

Hi, I’m Menchie Suarez-Tacata — a proud mom, Grandma, and a woman who’s worn many hats in life. I’ve been a Caregiver, an Accounting Coordinator, a Practical Nursing student, and an Optometric Technician — and before all of that, a Store Manager for a Chinese fast food chain back home in the Philippines.

Eventually, I found my purpose as a life insurance professional and entrepreneur, with one mission:

To help hardworking people — especially immigrants and small business owners — stop making blind financial decisions and start building lives with clarity, confidence, and purpose.

For the past decade, I’ve been helping immigrant families, small business owners, and anyone who wants to make smarter, purpose-driven financial decisions — without all the jargon.

I use everyday, real-life experiences to explain money — because let’s be honest, most people don’t need more complexity. They need clarity, honesty, and someone who understands where they’re coming from.

Why? Because I’ve been there.

When you're new to a country — no family, no roadmap, just dreams and survival instincts — you rely on whoever’s around. You meet someone who says, “Do this, it’s good,” so you do it. Then someone else says, “No, do this instead,” and you change direction again. And again.

That was my life.

I kept following advice without understanding the why. No one explained the pros and cons. No one broke things down in a way that made sense. I wasted years. I wasted money. And deep down, I felt lost.

It wasn’t until ten years later — when I finally learned how money really works — that everything clicked.

And I made a promise:

I won’t let others — especially immigrants and entrepreneurs like me — go through that same confusion.

Today, I guide my clients the way I wish someone had guided me:

With clarity, not complexity

With heart, not pressure

And yes — with food analogies (because I love to cook, and let’s be honest: finances, like meals, should be simple, nourishing, and made with love).

I don’t just give you options. I help you make informed, empowered decisions — ones that truly align with your values, your family, and your goals.

Whether you're starting over, building your small business, supporting loved ones back home, or simply wanting to protect what you’ve worked so hard for — I’m here to walk beside you every step of the way.
