EP. 219:  How to Keep Going, Even When It Seems Like Something Might Not Be Working 13.01.2026

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) 06.01.2026

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. 217: Steal My Manifestation Framework to Manifest Your Dream Life in 2026 23.12.2025

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 own...

EP. 216: End-of-Year Anxiety: What to Do When You're Triggered, Tired, and Feeling Behind 23.12.2025

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. 215: What Stage of Personal Branding Are You In? Discover the 3-Step Framework 16.12.2025

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 09.12.2025

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 02.12.2025

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) 25.11.2025

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 18.11.2025

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 11.11.2025

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 04.11.2025

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 28.10.2025

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 21.10.2025

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 14.10.2025

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 07.10.2025

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 30.09.2025

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 23.09.2025

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 16.09.2025

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) 09.09.2025

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 02.09.2025

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 26.08.2025

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 19.08.2025

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 12.08.2025

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 05.08.2025

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 29.07.2025

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...
