Creating Connections with Magdalena

I'm constantly learning so many things in life, and some things have become clearer than others. One thing I've heard over and over again by people I'd deem as successful is that the journey is the most rewarding part of the process and not the destination. I've been convinced this is true, and so instead of just hearing about it I want to incorporate it now into my life. Follo...

My lovely boyfriend Jay interviews me in this episode where I answer the question to my own series!

Michelle is a recently licensed yoga instructor who began her practice just briefly before COVID hit. Our conversation highlights how elements in yoga such as the 8 limbs have given her the tools to better practice self love.  Follow Michelle @mantrasbymichelle on IG to get involved in her practice! 

In this episode I learned a whole new meaning to FOMO that just blew my mind. Jaime and I discuss how self help books have impacted our self love journey and he specifically talks about how he's learned to not care about what other people think. 

Self love is something I've consciously been putting an effort into. This episode kicks off my self love series #SLS with me sharing my battle with perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and how I view my self image. 

Ashley shares how her college experience and involvement in the hospitality industry led her to her current position as Executive Director back at her old stomping grounds.

What I enjoyed about this conversation with George Castro were the simple steps he took accompanied with a relentless drive to discover what path is for him that I hope every listener can apply to their own life.

Cancer survivor, owner of her own marketing and public relations firm, and now a pilot (#pilotina) Jackie Camacho Ruiz shares her journey in discovering what she wanted to be when she first answered the question "what did you want to be when you grow up".

A lot of us make the mistake of thinking we have to share our story when it's complete, or when we have a definite answer to life. This is why you need to throw that assumption out the window and start sharing your story more!

From pediatrician to one day owning his own production company.. in this interview I got to ask the very person who inspired me to do his daily minute vlog challenge - Enrico Incarnati (@rico.incarnati) what he wanted to be when he "grew up"! Tune in to hear how his journey has taken him to where he is today. 

Monday blues? Don't know her. But if you do, this is how I've ultimately made Monday's my favorite day of the week. 

From wanting to be a professional cheerleader, to dolphin trainer, Raquel Salinas, otherwise known as @chingonafitness on Instagram, shares her response and takes us through her unique journey to answering what she ultimately wants to be in life.

What I took away from the challenge created by Rico Incarnati! 

Sometimes it all makes sense, and sometimes you question your path. All of it is part of the process. 

In this episode I interview Shamir Johnson, owner of ShamFit. Throughout his personal journey in finding out what he wants most in life, he shares how his pursuit of happiness has led him to the career choices he's investing in today. 

Do you strive to wake up really early because it's what "successful" people do? Do you purposefully cut into sleep because it's a sacrifice you need to make for your dream? If it hasn't started working for you yet, this episode is worth hearing. 

Podcasts are going to be as big as YouTube, Insta, Twitter, you name it. Starting a podcast is the next step but I want to evolve that into something bigger. 

Persuaded by the hype, I caved and watched the Social Dilemma. This was my biggest takeaway.  

(the answer should be Y O U)  For so long I've had aspirations of writing a national best seller, making it in Forbes 30 under 30 - placing a huge value on those awards and feeling like "I finally made it" once I got there. That mentality is out the window! 

Are you a person who thrives off routines? Like drinking more water in a day, eating healthier, journaling, meditating, reading a book? I was recently exposed to a book that explains why this is a thing. 

Role models, and mentors are great but your story has a voice of it's own. Keep it that way!
