EP. 243: Are You in an Abusive Relationship Without Knowing It? Judy Torres on Domestic Violence in the Latino Community
How many of us have been affected by domestic violence, and we didn't even know it? Honestly, I think almost all of us have. Domestic violence is so prevalent, especially in the Latino community. Almost every person I know has a story or an incident, whether it happened to us personally, to friends, or to a family member. And it continues because of this silence that the Latino community emphasize
EP. 242: The Reason Nobody Is Engaging With Your Content (And It's Not What You Think)
For a long time, no one was engaging with my content. I had a core group of followers and some friends and family, but I wasn't getting the kind of engagement I used to get. And honestly? It was really disheartening. I went from blowing up and gaining 200k followers on TikTok to getting less than 100 likes on each post. On top of it all, I was losing followers in droves. None of my old strategies
EP. 241: What To Do When You Want to Give Up
Just a few months ago, I felt like giving up. I thought, "This is it! Time to throw in the towel and start looking for tech jobs again!" I was losing hundreds of followers a day, and I didn't know what to do about it. I almost gave up. But then I thought about my WHY. Your why is what will help you keep moving forward. We know this! Our parents have crossed deserts, endured demeaning jobs, and p
EP. 240: 7-Figures in One Week: Lessons We Can All Learn From Jessi's 7-Figure Yap Launch
The social media world is changing, and we all have to change with it! This isn't 2016 anymore. No one wants to see the perfect girl boss who never has any flaws. People want to see real people, with real problems and real solutions. But that raises another question - how do I be vulnerable online without losing myself? How do I make a connection without being cringe? And how do I create conten
EP. 239: She Lost Everything 5 Days After Closing. Then She Built It Back With AI with Andrea Palacio
Social media can make us believe that everyone has it all figured out, except you. You are the lone exception to the rule, and you are the only one who is experiencing unexpected disasters. That is the furthest thing from the truth! Which is why I want to highlight this week's guest, who bounced back from an unexpected business disaster and was all the better for it. After sailing across the Car
EP. 238: The Truth About Manifestation From a 7-Figure Business Owner
As much as I'd love for something like the success of my business to stay consistent, it's just not going to happen. It's part of the human experience. So instead of lamenting about the slow season I was in, I went back to my manifestations, and manifested a newer version of my business - tweaked a few things and overhauled some others - so that I could serve even more people. Because not every
EP. 237: Why It's Not Too Late to Jump into the Creator Economy (and Why You Should Start Now!)
I know so many women who want more for themselves. They want to feel comfortable posting online, have financial freedom, and live more courageously. But at the same time, most of them say the same thing: that "it's too late," and "there are already too many influencers." As someone who started posting on social media "late," it's never too late to start. Give yourself the chance to succeed! I h
EP. 236: Why Your Content Isn't Turning Into Clients or Opportunities
Last year, and if I'm being honest, probably before that, I was in a bit of a content slump. I felt like I wasn't having fun making content anymore. And that can sound silly because I run a business, and content is technically work. But I decided to have fun with my content again, and it was exactly what my business needed to start selling again. Having fun with my content brought in more sales
EP. 235: Attract 7+ Paid Opportunities Through Your Personal Brand Without Being Salesy - The Magnetic CEO Method Webinar
Follower count does not mean much when it comes to making money online. Ok, it means a little bit. You can't sell if no one is around. But you don't need to wait until you have a million followers to sell your services or book speaking engagements. Followers do not automatically equal sales. I have friends who have a million followers and haven't made a dollar online. So let's say you have less
EP. 234: The Profitable Personal Brand Series: BTS of How I Landed Brand Deals & Paid Collaborations
My personal brand has been making money for me for YEARS. This wasn't an accident; this was completely by design. Ok, maybe a little bit of it was accidental, but we learn, grow, and study what works so that we can replicate it. And a little help from a coach or a mentor never hurts. I had no idea how much money I could make from brand deals and paid collaborations. I thought, like everyone els
EP. 233: The Profitable Personal Brand Series: BTS of Paid Speaking Engagements
Your personal brand is literally the fastest way of manifesting your dream life. I used to say that everything you want is on the other side of courage, and I still stand by that! But now I think you all want the step that comes after having courage, which is strategy. So I went back and studied what I did to build a profitable personal brand and how you can replicate it for your own personal bra
EP. 232: The Profitable Personal Brand Series: BTS of My First Paying Clients
I've been a coach, a creator, and a public speaker for a few years now, and I wouldn't have gotten there without my audience. At first, I just posted my journey in the tech industry. I wasn't an expert, and I didn't plan on teaching anyone, let alone coaching anyone. But my audience was getting a ton of value from my life lessons and wanted me to help them. So I did. Sometimes, it's as easy as th
EP. 231: The Peaceful Path to Success: Welcome to Your Señora Era with Ann Dunning
One of the things I've been working on with my clients is helping them figure out who they are outside of their careers. As Latina women living in the US, we often feel like our worth is dependent on what we do for work because we need it to be worth the trauma of immigration. But living only for our jobs and tying our worth to our career is not only unhealthy - it's a trauma response. So how do w
EP. 230: Building a Personal Brand Is the Fastest Way to Manifest Your Dream Life
Your posts are good, but not great for this new algorithm. People are more interested in using social media as a search engine than ever before, so the algorithm is more interest-based than it used to be. That means that you want to start creating "selfless content" instead of "selfish content" and posting that on your personal brand pages. So what the heck does any of that even mean??? It mean
EP. 229: From Survival to Service: Building a Brand That Helps Others as a Breast Cancer Survivor with Eileen Lopez Tome
Some people can go to their parents for help, but often, we are the ones people look to during a crisis. If you're a first-gen, eldest, and/or Latina daughter, you are the point person for your family. You make sure everything works out in the end. So what would happen if you can't be that person anymore? This week, we're talking to someone who had to not only survive breast cancer, but figure out
EP. 228: How a First-Gen Latina Broke Into Tech, Survived a Layoff, and Built Her Personal Brand with Elsa Jimenez
We should be able to plan our careers the same way we plan anything else in our lives. But college doesn't teach us how to network or get that promotion, especially in corporate America. Putting our heads down and working as hard as we can is getting us nowhere. We need new skills. So, we need to listen to someone who has been through it and can help us get to where we want to be. Elsa Jimenez is
EP. 227: How I Manifested My First 10K Followers by Building a Personal Brand - Webinar
I manifested my first 10k followers by being strategic. I had an idea, I had a strategy, and I made it happen, and you can do it, too. You don't need fancy equipment or a brand new camera; you can use what you have right now. So why not give yourself the chance to try and see what could happen? My clients join the Courage Driven Latina program because they know that wanted to give themselves a c
EP. 226: If I Had to Start Over in 2026, This Is Exactly How I'd Make Money Online
Starting over is not the end of the world. It may feel like it, at first, don't get me wrong. But if I had lost everything, all of my clients, and I had to start my online business over again, I know that I could do it. I can make money online and regain my following because I help people start over for a living. I have two clients who have decided to start over recently. One got laid off, and
EP. 225: Posting Progress Over Perfection: The Psychology of Building Trust Online
You won't post online because you were told to stay quiet all your life. You were conditioned to keep your head down, be humble, and mind your manners. And now that conditioning has leaked into every aspect of your life, including posting online. And, this isn't about confronting your parents or lamenting about the horrors machismo has left on our culture. We can do that later. Today, we're wor
EP. 224: How to Grow on Instagram in 2026 (Yes, It's Still Possible)
After losing followers on social media for the last two years, I decided enough was enough. I didn't know why I was losing followers, and I didn't know how to get new ones, but I knew that something had to change. So I got to work. If you follow me on Instagram, you'll know that I blew up there recently. One post got 1.7 million views!! And it's still growing! And it's all because I let my conte
EP. 223: From Bagging Groceries to Global Icon: The Manifestation Lessons We Can Learn from Bad Bunny
Ten years ago, Benito was just a kid in PR bagging groceries for his neighbors. Now he and his music are a worldwide phenomenon that is giving us so much light during dark times. He didn't have rich parents or wealthy connections to get him where he is now. He was discovered by chance because he made himself visible. Bad Bunny's journey is truly a testament to how you can manifest anything you
EP. 222: If You Want to Create Content But Don't Want to Come Off Conceited
So many of my Courage Driven Latinas clients are loving the Visibility Challenge we're working through right now, but that doesn't mean that it's been easy for them. In fact, a few fears have come up, and were preventing them from posting their content. It turns out they were afraid of being seen as conceited. This makes sense, especially for our community. We were always being told to worry ab
EP. 221: How Personal Branding Creates Opportunities and Builds Social Capital (Even When You're Not in the Room)
2026 is a new year, and it's time to make some courageous changes in your life. So if you've been wanting to post on social media and build your personal brand, but you're too afraid to post anything, you're leaving opportunities on the table. Right now in the Courage Driven Latina program, we are working on being visible, and for a lot of people, that means posting on social media and building
EP. 220: The Fear of Being Seen Isn't Insecurity — It's Cultural Conditioning
Many of my CDL clients are currently working on their fear of being seen. And as we talk through their feelings, I'm noticing that everyone is saying the same thing. This fear didn't come from them; someone told them to be afraid of being seen. Now, it's not always in those words. But if you were being told that calladita te ves mas bonita as a kid, you're going to remember that during a brains
EP. 219: How to Keep Going, Even When It Seems Like Something Might Not Be Working
Your manifestations are not something you can Two Day ship to your house. They're not a new top you need before your cousin's birthday party. So why does it feel so discouraging when your manifestations don't happen right away? It makes us feel like failures, even though we haven't even had the time to fail yet. We have forgotten that great things take time. You need time to build momentum, get
EP. 218: The Secret to a Vision Board That Actually Works (Step-By-Step Process)
Not all vision boards are created equally. Some of them work, and they help you manifest everything you've ever wanted, and some don't do anything. So why is it that some vision boards do work and others don't? The truth is that a vision board is just like manifesting. There's a formula that I use to get everything I want. That formula removes limiting beliefs and sets me up to take courageous
EP. 216: End-of-Year Anxiety: What to Do When You're Triggered, Tired, and Feeling Behind
The end of the year can make my clients feel like they didn't do enough, like they failed, or like they're never going to make their dreams come true. I get it, it's a totally normal reaction to the end of the year. But stewing in these feelings is not going to help us manifest our most amazing lives. There's no ignoring these feelings; we have to work through them in order to feel better. And
EP. 217: Steal My Manifestation Framework to Manifest Your Dream Life in 2026
Manifesting is technically a science. It's a little bit of quantum physics, a little bit of psychology, and a lot of heart. You are the key to making your dreams come true. The first step to making those dreams a reality is identifying them. Many times, my clients have a general idea of what they want, but they don't have the specifics. They know they want financial freedom and to start their ow
EP. 215: What Stage of Personal Branding Are You In? Discover the 3-Step Framework
Hot take: Everyone can benefit from a personal brand! Especially women of color. Whether you're an employee or a business owner, everyone needs to have a personal brand because only you know what the best parts of you are and how to market yourself. Your dreams come true when you believe in yourself, and personal branding gives you the framework to do just that. Now, the idea of figuring out your
EP. 214: Healing Financial Trauma: Why Latinas Struggle with Money (and How to Break Free) with Alejandra Rojas
Financial trauma is tricky - it's a nuanced conversation that plays a part in our everyday lives. And that's because money touches every part of our lives. Our families, businesses, and even we ourselves depend on money to a certain extent. So when you get that guilty feeling in your stomach that makes you refuse to look at your bank statements, it can feel overwhelming. That's why we called in a
EP. 213: 10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before 2026 If You're Tired of Hiding and Ready to Be Visible
As we close out the year, we naturally start thinking about everything we've accomplished and everything we still need to work on. And if you didn't achieve all your goals, that's ok! That's what next year is for. For now, let's organize our thoughts and reset our mindset. Because if you're anything like me, there comes a point when you're tired of hiding, and you're ready to be more visible. T
EP. 212: This One Thing Dictates Your Entire Life (And No One Talks About It)
I've been talking about personal branding on my Instagram, and something that I noticed is that your personal brand and your self-concept go hand in hand. And as Latinas, our self-concept can be all over the place. We were told to do all the things, get all the degrees, and be as successful as possible, but we were also told to be quiet and be humble. That doesn't make sense, does it? Our self-
EP. 211: From Layoff to Launch: How Sarah Built Financial Freedom Through Entrepreneurship
One of my Courage Driven Latina clients, Sarah Tulloch, is a podcast production manager, and fun fact: she's been managing this podcast for over three years! She created the podcast launch course that's in the Courage Driven Latina Portal, and she's even helped her fellow courage driven Latinas launch their podcasts and post consistently. Today, she's an expert on all things podcasting with a succ
EP. 210: Behind the Scenes of My Telemundo Interview: Lessons in Courage, Confidence & Doing It Messy
Getting a live TV segment on Telemundo was a huge life lesson for me. I am a confidence coach, and I teach my clients to have courage, but I was also so freaking scared when this opportunity came to me. For one thing, it was completely in Spanish, and Spanish is my second language; it was live, so I couldn't ask it to be edited in any way, and I only had a few hours to prepare to be on national TV
EP. 209: How to Feel Rich in Courage (Even When Money Feels Tight): 3 Steps to Build Confidence & Negotiate What You're Worth with Evie Prete
So many of my clients feel trapped because of their financial situation. And it sucks because when you're living from paycheck to paycheck, it's hard to manifest a new life because you're living in survival mode. There is, however, a way to break free from this feeling and finally manifest abundance. And we're going to show you how to do it. Evie is a Latina Salary Negotiation Coach, Speaker, and
EP. 208: The Real Reason You're Not Taking Action — And How to Finally Start
Sometimes you're stuck for a season. Sometimes it's a few months. For me, it was an entire year. All during 2024, I felt like I had a little rain cloud following me around. It affected my work, my life, and my creativity. And after reading some of the survey answers I got back, I realized that a lot of you were going through the exact same thing. I was able to get myself out of that weird funk
EP. 207: The # 1 Strategy to Help You Overcome Perfectionism and Manifest Your Goals
Your perfectionism is holding you back - in more ways than one. You don't need another degree or the latest and greatest camera to get started. Waiting for the right set of circumstances is just you letting fear take over your life again, and if you want to manifest your goals, we have to do the work to overcome that fear. Perfectionism is nothing more than fear of not being good enough. Perfec
EP. 206: Let Go of the Timeline: How to Stop Feeling Behind and Start Moving
Believe it or not, I rarely, if ever, have everything figured out all at once. If one thing is going well, something else is giving me issues. Like, my business is doing great, but my relationship with one of my parents isn't. I'm completing my goal of going to more speaking events, but I haven't completed my goal of owning a home. I feel behind, and even though I know it will all work out, it sti
EP. 205: Harnessing Fear into Power — ICE raids, generational trauma, and how we rise
It's true that the current attacks on our community are dangerous and disorienting. That's the point of them: to confuse us into giving up hope. But the Latino community has always been resilient, and we will rise above this. There are so many ways we can fight back and protect each other. In fact, there are tons of non-violent actions every single one of us can take right now if we want to. No
EP. 204: When Gratitude Turns Into Guilt: The First-Gen People Pleasing Trap
Did you know that being grateful and being a people pleaser are two different things? It can sometimes feel like they're the same, but being a people pleaser means that you are self-sacrificing for someone else, like your parents, for example. There's no sacrifice in feeling or being grateful. So why does it feel like we can't be good daughters if we're not self-sacrificing? People pleasing is
EP. 203: How I Landed 40 Under 40 By Being Magnetic, Not Hustling
Winning the Latina 40 Under 40 award was such a surreal experience, especially when it finally clicked that I had manifested winning this award years ago! This is one of the coolest things I've manifested that I've never shared on the podcast before, so we're going to talk about it today! This award didn't just fall out of thin air for me. I worked hard to build up my business and my community
EP. 202: The Magnetic CEO Method Webinar
You can use the power of manifestation to create an entirely new life for yourself in just six months. I've had clients attract over $100k in new client contracts, get hired to do speaking engagements all over the world, and manifest paid maternity leave for their new family. And they all did it with my Magnetic CEO Method. The Magnetic CEO Method training uses manifestation and neuroscience to
EP. 201: The #1 Reason Manifestations Fail (and How to Fix It)
Manifesting is not a linear process, and manifestations fail to show up for a number of reasons. It's frustrating, but it's part of the process, and it doesn't mean you should throw in the towel and give up on your dreams. You're failing to manifest because you're reacting to what is going on in this moment, rather than believing in what is coming. For example, you're not manifesting making mor
EP. 200: Quorum Break & Gerrymandering: Why It Matters for Latino Voices in Texas with Linda Garcia
Texas Representative Linda Garcia has been fighting for our community, both within her state and all over the country. She was one of the brave representatives who fled and basically initiated a strike because of an impending vote to enact racist gerrymandering plans in the state of Texas. In doing so, she and her team were able to buy themselves some time and raise awareness about what's happenin
EP. 199: I Am Worthy: Breaking the Spell That's Been Holding You Back with Christine Gutierrez
Some people spend their whole lives affirming the fact that they shouldn't get any more than what they have. They are told to be quiet and be grateful that they have more than their parents, and to forget their own aspirations. They believe what is essentially a lie, a spell to keep you complacent. But it doesn't have to be this way! You can break the spell and get everything you've ever wanted. A
EP. 198: Manifesting as a Latina or WOC: Why It's Different for Us
Manifesting a new life can be difficult if you feel like asking for more means that you're being a greedy person. But there's a difference between being greedy and wanting abundance. Wanting a fulfilling life is natural, and you should be allowed to give it to yourself. Some of my clients struggle with this block while manifesting. And the more we talk about it, the more we find out that they h
EP. 197: Influence with Impact: How to Build a Brand That Pays You and Feels Like You with Lissette Calveiro
The fear of being seen stops us from going after our dreams. But the fear of being seen as an "influencer" is preventing you from making an impact, which is what you really want to do. Our favorite online personalities make an impact on us. It's time to let go of your fear and build the online business you'll be proud of. Lissette Calveiro is a Latina entrepreneur, content creator, and business
EP. 196: Entrepreneurship, Immigration & Economic Truths We Need to Talk About with Lyanne Alfaro
We can no longer ignore these tough conversations about money. If you're an entrepreneur, an immigrant, or first generation, money is one of the many ways we can protect ourselves and get ahead. With some key changes, we can set ourselves and our community up for greatness. And if we're going to get serious about our money, we need to talk to a professional. Lyanne Alfaro is an award-winning jo
EP. 195: Reinvention, AI, and Walking Away from Success with Dulce Toscano
If you've been listening since the beginning of this podcast, then you might recognize this week's guest, Dulce Toscano! She's returning to the podcast to share her brand new business, The School of AI. She left her successful coaching business, deleted all her socials, and started fresh on an idea that she says is going to change the world. Dulce Toscano is an AI consultant, educator, and the
EP. 194: "I Was the Only One Holding Me Back" — Her Journey from Self-Doubt to CEO with Bianca Cervantes
Sometimes it's not the job that's holding you back. Sometimes it's you! And that hurts! You'd never think that you'd be holding yourself back. You want to live a better life, so of course, you'd give it to yourself if you had the chance. Right? This week, we're speaking with someone who discovered that she was holding herself back and what she did to course-correct her life. Bianca Cervantes i
EP. 193: The 90-Day Manifestation Path | CDL Webinar
I am a firm believer in doing things before you're "ready." Because no one is ever "ready," you're just scared. That fear sometimes drives my clients to do more research or get another certification, just so they can push their courage project down the line. But that's not necessarily what that fear is trying to tell you to do. Fear isn't there to keep you from your dreams - that fear is there as
EP. 192: From Perfectionism to Purpose: How Jazmin Took Messy Action & Launched Her Dream Biz with Jazmin Ocampo
We tend to think of cycles in a negative light, like the cycles of abuse or the cycles of complacency. But there are also good cycles that can lead to even better outcomes than the ones you have now. Once you make a positive change in your life and stick with it, you create a new cycle that's in alignment with what you want. The more you bet on yourself, the more results you'll see and the more mo
EP. 191: Permission to Pivot: Building a Business That Supports Your Life, Not Consumes It with Jereshia Hawk
Starting a business can be so overwhelming and somehow so freeing at the same time. You have the freedom to use all 24 hours of your day however you'd like, but you also now have to take responsibility for all 24 hours of your day. It can be exhausting, and without the right support system, it can bring all those limiting beliefs to the surface. If this sounds like you, then what you need right no
EP. 190: How to Stop Comparing Yourself to Others and Start Manifesting Your Biggest Goals
If your thoughts are always about someone else with the greatest job, or the most incredible business, or the most amazing second husband, then you are trying to tell yourself something. It's not that your life sucks and you should feel bad about it. It's that you want what she has, so go get it for yourself. It sounds like you want to raise your standards, try something new, or explore somethi
EP. 189: How These Latina Leaders Found Courage to Quit, Pivot, and Launch with Revekka Balancier, Anahi Bravo, and Maideli Garcia
So many of the guests we've had on the podcast are some of the most courageous people I've ever met. As Latinas, the odds are often stacked against us. Not only are we separated from our homelands, but the country is systematically trying to keep us from succeeding. This is exactly why I wanted to take the time to shout out some incredible women who beat the odds and gave themselves the lives they
EP. 188: What I Learned From Failing in Business (Before Building Courage Driven Latina)
Failure isn't something we should be afraid of. Yes, it's a pain, and the rejection hurts, but it's what helps us grow as business owners. We can never get better if we don't figure out what isn't working. And today we're going to tackle the most common cause of failure. When I started talking to the business owners inside of Courage Driven Latina, I realized that their fear of failure was what
EP. 187: From Hollywood to Healing: How Intuition, Storytelling & Spirituality Shaped Arielle's Creative Journey with Arielle Desiray Contreras-Diaz
Life isn't just about struggling to live and sacrificing to advance your career. It's about enjoying ourselves, connecting with each other, and using our money to invest in something incredible! It's time to take back our power and live the lives we know we should be living. And we can start by listening to Arielle's incredible story for inspiration. Arielle Diaz is a Peabody and GLAAD-nominate
EP. 186: Financial Freedom Is Feminist: Jannese Torres on Money, Motherhood, and Not Settling
Financial freedom is something we should all be striving for. Our parents taught us to be practical and get a good, stable job. But life isn't always stable, and if we are going to be bad ass feminists who do what we want with our lives, we need to be financially free. Financial freedom means leaving your cheating husband without worries and about bills, it means fully funding your maternity leave
EP. 185: The BFF Method: Manifest Anything by Rewiring Your Mind
Over the last six years, I've really been getting into the science of manifesting. Because it is a science! Manifesting has everything to do with neuroplasticity, neuroscience, and epigenetics. There's a reason I created my dream life when I left my tech job. And there's one specific method of manifesting that always works for me, so I'm going to share it with you today. It's called the BFF met
EP. 184: Mamá Didn't Raise a Pendeja: Why Latina Wisdom Is the Ultimate Power Tool with Carolina Acosta and Aralis Mejia
"Mira, ponte las pilas." How many times have you heard that phrase before? Or "no seas una pendeja," or "nadie te quita lo que está para ti." These phrases helped guide us into the women we are today. We picked ourselves up and dusted ourselves off because we had tough love at home that taught us how to be tougher chingonas. And to be honest, these phrases still help me out to this day! When I'm f
EP. 183: From Low Income to Luxury Brands: Lucia Diaz on Manifestation, Mentorship & Making It Happen
Here's the thing: no matter what your catalyst is, whether it's a layoff or you quit and pivoted, you'll always end up where you need to be. Take our guest, Lucia, for example. She was laid off during the pandemic, and soon after, she realized her dream wasn't to be an art director for Amazon. That company, by the way, laid off her entire team as soon as things got rough. Now that she had the free
EP. 182: Leading Limitlessly: Reinventing Success in the Age of AI with Nikki Barua
AI is an extremely powerful tool that is currently accessible to anyone with an internet connection. We, in the Latino community, can use to give ourselves the leg up we may not have had access to before. Say, for example, you couldn't get a Master's in Marketing Data Analytics when you were in college, but now you need to make a marketing plan for your business. AI can help you create a personali
EP. 181: From Combat Boots to Closing Deals: Building Wealth & Community After Military Service with Lourdes Fernando
You can do anything with the right community behind you, and this week's guest can testify to that. Lourdes was going through an extremely tough time - she was put through the ringer in the military, she found herself in $75k of household debt, and her (now ex) husband kicked her out of her own home. She needed to make a change and FAST. So she reached out to her community, including the Courage D
EP. 180: The Power of Making a Decision (Even When You're Scared or Unclear)
It all comes down to learning how to trust ourselves. For example, picking between two great job offers and not being able to choose which one to take. They're both great! They're not perfect, some of the benefits could be better, and there's going to be some annoying parts of the job, but both opportunities are still great. And still, you can't make a decision. If you know that something like
EP. 179: From Oaxaca to LA: How Bricia Lopez Built a Culinary Empire Rooted in Culture
One, admittedly major, decision can change the course of your life for the better. Especially if that major decision involves you leaning into your life's purpose. Because once you see the chance to align yourself with your goals, and you take it, everything starts to fall into place. This is exactly what happened with this week's guest, Bricia Lopez. She started her culinary career taking over he
EP. 178: Healing Sexual Shame, Embracing Pleasure, and Cultivating Self-Acceptance with Jocelyn Silva
Sex can be a beautiful experience full of love and fulfilled desires. It's this amazing expression of love and intimacy that you can share with your partner and with yourself! But to be able to reach the sexual freedom we all hope for, we have to do some soul searching. Jocelyn Silva is a Life and Intimacy Coach with over 13 years of experience helping people break free from limiting beliefs an
EP. 177: The Real Reason You Suffer and How To Stop
You may say to yourself, "I'm not a controlling person, this isn't about me." But the need to control the world around us is a natural part of human nature. We crave control because we think control will bring us certainty, and then that certainty will bring us peace. But sometimes you don't get certainty, no matter how much you try. And instead of freaking out about the uncertainty of it all,
EP. 176: How to Turn 2025 Around (Even If the Year Didn't Start Off Right)
Some people would consider my journey a series of failures before finally getting it right. But I don't see it that way. Each path leads to another and even though a lot of those paths didn't work out for me long-term, I learned a lot from each of them. I learned that I could live without my tech job when I became a yoga instructor. I learned how to put myself out there on the internet as a food b

EP. 173: Feeling Stuck? How High Performers Find Their Passion & Take Action with Amy Landino
So many of my clients struggle with, first of all, knowing what they want to do next, and then being married to that decision for the rest of their lives. They think that they'll be stuck behind the confines of the decisions they make right now. But it's not true! This is the beginning of your next evolution and you can always keep evolving! This concept can be hard to imagine, so this week I invi
EP. 172: The Call You Can't Ignore: How to Recognize and Answer Your Purpose with Miriam Corona
That feeling you have pushing you towards your purpose is giving you permission to go for it. You don't need anything else to validate your thoughts, you just have to go for it. No matter what anyone else thinks. This week's guest is Miriam Corona, a life coach and a Courage Driven Latina alum. Miriam has years of leadership and security experience at Microsoft's Data Center under her belt, as
EP. 171: The Truth About Clarity: How to Stop Overthinking and Start Doing
Before I started this coaching business, I wanted to start a food blog. I was extremely passionate about it, but I wasn't putting any action towards making it happen. It wasn't until my ex, my boyfriend at the time, called me out on my inaction. At first, I was offended, but then I realized that he was right. I kept talking about this food blog I was so into, but I was too afraid to start actually
EP. 170: Live Your Purpose Now—No Drastic Changes Required
Living your life's purpose doesn't have to be this huge apocalyptic event in your life. You don't have to quit your job and cut off all your connections in order to get closer to your life's goal. You can start with what you have right now. So many of my clients felt stuck in this limbo of wanting to live for their purpose but not wanting to give up their whole lives for it. And the funny thing
EP. 169: The 10 Books That Changed My Life
Books have changed my life in so many different ways. Every time I want to make a change, or grow, or even if I'm just curious about a topic, I do a little bit of research and pick up a book. I can't tell you how much good it's done for me. Even just one book, the Alchemist, has changed the trajectory of my life three times! The Alchemist gave me the courage I needed when I wanted to break off my
EP. 168: Why You're Not Falling Behind (Even When It Feels Like You Are)
First of all, no one knows what they're doing. It's very rare that anyone knows exactly what their purpose is. That takes a lot of time and a lot of life to live so you're definitely not behind. Don't get too caught up in what everyone else is doing. In fact, most people we know are stressing out about feeling left behind and how everyone else is doing. If you're feeling left behind because you
EP. 167: The Magic of Mindfulness: How to Find Peace and Clarity in a Chaotic World
The magic of mindfulness has gotten me through some of the worst times of my life. We know there are always ups and downs - in life, in business, everywhere. We know that balance is key and that everything will correct itself in the end. In those low moments, I spent way too much time anxiously worrying about all the worst things that could happen. Worrying can feel like strategizing, but in r
EP. 166: How to Get Your Spark Back After You've Lost It
The scariest thing about losing your spark is that it can happen at any time and from any number of circumstances losing your spark can come from a toxic relationship, losing your job, or a passion project not turning out how you wanted it to. My clients have told me that they feel overwhelmed by these "failures" and that they're not sure where to go from here. The word failures is in quotations f

It's the end of the year, we're preparing for the next year, and I just want to say thank you for being here with us!

EP. 164: Planning For The New Year: Reflect, Reset, and Rise
If this year has taught me anything, it's that ups and downs are a normal part of life. It's frustrating, but it's true. Some of my colleagues have had a very difficult year in business, while others have had their most abundant year ever. I didn't meet my business goals this year, and while it's not ideal, it's not going to make me give up. And if you had a difficult year, it shouldn't make you g
