All-or-nothing thinking is so incredibly limiting and it prevents so many of my clients from living their most authentic lives. It's the concept that if you can't do it perfectly the first time, you might as well not do it at all. And that's not true! That's your fear talking and it's holding you back. This week, we're speaking to two Courage Driven Latina Program clients who have overcome all-or-...

This week we are highlighting one of the most courageous women I know. Jasmin has known so much pain and loss and she still is finding a way to fight for herself and the life that she knows that she deserves. And with the help of the Courage Driven Latina program, I have had the privilege to help her achieve her wildest dreams.  Jasmin is a first-generation, Mexican- American who is on the path of...

One thing I work through with my clients is the fear of the unknown. They are afraid of taking the next step so they never do. My clients come to me because they are stuck and they don't know how to get unstuck.    There is a very simple solution that I work on with them in the Courage Driven Latina program. I tell them, "It's ok! Do it scared." And we work on taking courageous action.   In this w...

I've watched women turn from shy caterpillars into beautiful butterflies through the Courage Driven Latina program.

Most financial educators do not look like us, they do not have the same problems, and they do not share our culture. That's why this week, we're introducing you to my good friend, Gigi Gonazález. Gigi is a financial educator who knows what it's like to be a first-gen Latina and build wealth with our circumstances in mind.    Giovanna "Gigi" Gonzalez is a TikTok influencer, financial educator, and...

TW: miscarriage, infant loss, familial loss   Advocating for yourself is not easy, especially when you don't have all the answers. And even though it's hard, our guest has taught us that the only way out of a tough situation is to face it head-on and go through it.    Janet Guadalupe Martinez Aguilar, also known as Flaka G, has had an incredible life that has been a remarkable tapestry of triumphs...

I can't tell you how many people I've worked with who couldn't progress in their lives because they were afraid of the uncertainty. They were afraid of not knowing what happened next - so afraid that it paralyzed them!   But I've learned that uncertainty is where growth happens. Because when you are uncertain about the outcome, anything is possible. In this week's episode, we'll be talking about h...

But they don't start their New Year's resolutions with a plan in place to make it happen. That's why...

Ever find yourself undoing all your mindfulness and self work when you're around family? If you have, you're not alone. There's even a word for it!

2020 was a hard year for everyone, but so many small business owners went through it. Brick-and-mortar buildings were closing and so many people had to pivot to save their business or else risk losing it all. The added stress of your livelihood being in danger, while also being a person and dealing with the effects of the pandemic, AND having family members fall ill is incredibly hard. Going throu...

Are you struggling with the idea of being the perfect first-generation daughter? So many Latinas are dealing with this unrealistic expectation our culture has put on us. We are told we have to be married, have kids, and be "successful." But no one ever says that we can be happy, or deviate from any of these expectations. That's why this week's guest is helping us break the cycle and be who we are...

If you identify as an introvert, this episode is for you. Many people come to me and tell me that it's easy for me to get up and promote myself because I am extroverted and they can't because they're introverted. But that's not true! You can achieve great things by unleashing the power of your voice as an introvert, and this week's guest is here to help us do just that!    In 2019, Alejandra quit...

Breaking generational traumas is not easy. It can take a lot of work and heartbreak to get to where you want to be. Which is why we encourage people in the Courage Driven Latina program to make connections with everyone else in the program. It's easier to be courageous when you know your friends have your back. That's why it's incredible that this week's guests are sisters and joined the Purpose D...

If you remember anything from this podcast, remember this: finding your purpose is not linear. Everyone online, including myself, may look like we have it all together. But in reality, our paths are just as messy as yours, if not more so. This is why I want to share two purpose-driven paths with you to give you the confidence that you need to start your courage project.   Candelaria (Cande) Gonzál...

Taking courageous action can be very lonely. Especially if you are surrounded by people who don't really get what you're trying to do. And whether that's launching a new business, writing a new book, or just trying something entirely new, having a courageous group of women on your journey makes all the difference. That's why the Courage Driven Latina coaching program was created and why Lisa Annab...

You've heard of machismo, but have you heard of marianismo? As Latinas, we have been told that we have to be a certain type of woman to gain the respect of our community. We have to be the type of women that are constantly selfless, self-sacrificing, and accepting of the machismo around us. But by becoming this kind of woman and by embodying these marianismo ideals, we not only let ourselves down...

Welcome to a very special birthday episode! Erika just turned 33 and is celebrating the start of an amazing new year.
