From Refugee to Emmy Winner: Leyna Nguyen’s Journey to Financial Empowerment

Welcome back to Women Behind the Millions! In tonight’s episode, host Jessica Weaver welcomes the remarkable Leyna Nguyen—a woman whose life has been defined by resilience, reinvention, and deep-rooted service. Leyna arrived in the U.S. as a five-year-old refugee after the Vietnam War, grew up in Minnesota, and went on to shatter glass ceilings as a primetime anchor at CBS in Los Angeles, winning five Emmy Awards along the way. Despite finding incredible success in media, Leyna’s journey took an unexpected turn when a personal financial misstep opened her eyes to the knowledge gaps that many in her community face. Now, as a financial educator and advisor, Leyna is on a mission to make complex financial concepts accessible—especially to Vietnamese-American families navigating language and cultural barriers. In this episode, she opens up about the grit it took to break into broadcast journalism, the challenges and rewards of pivoting into finance, and the values that keep her grounded, including alignment with her mission and “running every decision through the filter.” Leyna shares how she and her husband walked away from lucrative positions to build a client-focused, community-minded practice, and what it’s like working side-by-side as partners in both life and business. We’ll also hear about her philanthropic passion project, Love Across the Ocean, which supports educational and basic needs for children in Vietnam—a source of deep gratitude and perspective in her life. Whether you’re seeking inspiration on overcoming adversity, building sustainable wealth, or finding meaning beyond the millions, this heartfelt conversation promises powerful insights and a celebration of women lifting women.
