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...

While recording these episodes and working through the Courage Driven Latina program, I met this week's amazing guests, Liz Fernandez and Mariela De La Mora.    Liz Fernandez is a Therapist turned Multi-6 fig...

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...

And while she's so excited for the future, she's also reflecting on the lessons she's learned over the past year or so.

This is something that Ana Lila has taught all of her students, including myself, and I am here to say that she does indeed practice what she preaches. Not only has she changed the lives of hundreds of people over the course of eight years of professional breathwork coaching, she has taken her life into her own hands, and created an...

I am so glad we are getting rid of hustle culture! Now don't get me wrong, I was the type of person who wanted to hustle and climb the corporate ladder and be that version of success. But the more I tried, the more I knew that hustle culture is not sustainable at all.   Hustle culture is steeped in a lack mindset. The anxiety around hustling makes you believe that there's not enough to go around....

If you grew up living in a scarcity mindset, this episode is for you. Growing up, my family's financial situation had some pretty decent highs and the lowest of lows. Those lows were terrifying and the lack mentality that came from that time followed us everywhere we went. Even when I was making six figures at my tech job, I always felt like there was not enough to go around.    It wasn't until I...

Nobody who listens to this podcast needs to chase anything. We are magnetic - the things that we desire out of life come to us. So how do we become more magnetic and stop chasing after what doesn't serve us?    I spent a ton of my time chasing after what I thought I had to do, even though it wasn't necessarily what I wanted to do. So while my life looked great on paper, I wasn't aligned with my li...

If you have ever lost your hair, we want you to know that you are not alone. So many women lose their hair for so many reasons and the grief of losing your hair can feel overwhelming. Many women have reported having felt shame, felt less beautiful, and they worry about what other people will think of them now that this part of them is lost. Hair loss is not something that we talk about often - we...

Sit down and strap in because this week's episode is more exciting than a telenovela!  It all started when Yanet somehow joined the Courage Driven Latina program AFTER the link was supposed to have stopped working. We were literally closed but the universe wanted us to meet so what could we do? Fast forward to now when Erika flew out to Houston to meet with her private clients, met Yanet in person...

That moment came for our host, Erika Cruz, while she was traveling to Houston, Texas to meet up with a few of her private clients.
