I am Mantuana with Patricia Manley

At the moment of emigrating, we can take clothes, accessories, souvenirs, etc. But, many of us leave a significant piece of ourselves behind: our friends and family. Migration is a difficult decision to make. Some are blessed to have loved ones with them, while others deal with the feeling of loneliness. Although the distance, we know that we have people who love us. Sometimes a hug, a caress, or...

Hacks have changed our lives. We can find them in magazines, newspapers, social media; basically anywhere. But most of them don't work, are hoaxes, or put our safety and well-being in danger. As entrepreneurial mommies, we always look for a way to make our time work and perform tasks in a simpler way. That's why, in today's episode, our guest, Wendy Griffith, will bring us healthy h...

Do you know how to be resilient? A resilient person is loved and admired by many. But, their strength works against them, not only in his personal life but also in his professional life. Companies love these types of people. After all, they "bear it all," forgetting that they are also human, and despite being strong, we all have a breaking point. We all desire to have the ability to get...

The world is constantly changing, and we must adapt. Technology is advancing every day, and as an entrepreneur, business owners, freelancers, etc. We need to update the way we show ourselves to the world. So, imagine not having an online presence, not being present in the virtual world, the one that puts everything we need at our fingertips. As a result, that idea you have that can become a potent...

One question, do you love yourself? Sometimes we think that self-love is just grooming ourselves, dressing well, putting on makeup, exercising to have a flat abdomen, and all those superficial things. But, when you look at yourself in the mirror without all the glamour, with a few extra kilos and tousled, can you say: "I love myself"? Self-love takes effort, practice, and perseverance. I...

"Good vibes only" it's a red flag for toxic positivity. I know it may sound controversial, but have you ever thought that people who say they are positive tend to be a bit toxic? Phrases like "man up" or "woman up," "get over it," "just be positive" often serve to shame people for not having a positive attitude or solely minimize their feeling...

It's not Vag, Vajayjay, Bajingo—its name is Vagina, and it is a part of the female body. Although its name is still taboo in our society, it should not be alarming. It is as simple as saying shoulder, arm, or leg. The relationship with our genitals begins at a very young age. For this reason, the sexual education given by our parents is crucial to developing a healthy relationship with them....

When we are adults, we make the conscious decision to emigrate. But what happens when we are parents, and we take our children with us? Our guest Claudia Lopez emigrated to the UK from Colombia when she was only 11 years old. She was able to experience firsthand the challenges that children have to overcome when migrating.  Today, we will have the opportunity to listen to the point of view of what...

When we emigrate, we want to take everything with us, the gastronomy, the culture, the people. If possible, bring our bosses or businesses in a suitcase just to continue working on the same thing cause the fear of starting from scratch is stronger than our will (although I do not deny it, it would be wonderful to do so). But, let's look at it on the bright side; new beginnings can be a blessi...

Having a side hustler has been seen negatively. But, from where I come from, it means growth opportunities.    I consider myself a female hustler—in addition to having a full-time job, a podcast, and owning a business, I am also a mother and wife. However, finding a hustler that I wanted to undertake was a challenge for me cause the only thing that crossed my mind every time was "I don;t have...

Today's guest is Nafisa Mughal, a professional in the skincare and beauty world passionate about making other...

We all have that little voice whispering within us, claiming to be heard and demanding our life awakening. Middle age seems to be a stage of life in which we begin to think and question everything around us about if what we are doing is the right thing to do, following a path that will take us to the place where we are supposed to be. All these moments and the mixture of emotions is our inner self...

We are living a battle in an environment full of toxins attacking our health every day. Toxins are everywhere around us, but that does not mean we cannot avoid them to take care of our health and have better control of our bodies.  We need to understand what our body is trying to tell us and not blame other factors for our symptoms when the reality is that we are filling our body with toxic loads...

Stop seeing food as your biggest enemy, and make it your ally to get the change you want. There are many ways to take care of our body and health. One of them is to look at the way we eat, it may sound as simple as following the first diet we find, but the reality is way too different than we think.  Your body and diet is the only thing you can have under control and to learn more about how to tak...

Many times we make the mistake of putting our work-life before ourselves. We let a job define us, leaving aside our identity. Our work is a significant part of our lives either because we feel an enormous passion for what we do or because it simply gives us the financial income to pay the bills. But, when we let our work consume our lives, stress and exhaustion say present, and if we do not take a...

Avoiding looking in the mirror as an escape from our thoughts. We all go through moments in which we do not feel comfortable with our surroundings, what we do or how we look, and start to lose our identity and comparing ourselves with the rest of the people. Often, we are the first to point out ourselves looking for flaws inside and outside instead of taking what we do not like and work on it. We...

It is never too late to build a new home in another country. Being over 50 and decide to leave our established home to build a new one in another country is not something very common to experience. Facing numerous changes in a new stage of life can be seen as an arduous path where we practically have to start from scratch. Today's guest is Constanza Leal. In our conversation, Constanza tells...

Growing up as an immigrant without actually being one is just what it feels to be a first-generation immigrant in another country. Being born in a country as a child of immigrant parents puts you in a place where you grow up in the middle of two cultures. Being inside and outside the home is like living in two separate worlds that even though you were born in that country, you may feel like you do...

It is more than just becoming a mother is about becoming a real warrior in a new world where all your priorities change.

Today's guest is Kizzy Petit, an extraordinary, strong, and warrior woman. She is here to share how to face those c...

Who says you have to be a native speaker of a language to become a teacher of it? Even in English -one of the most widely spoken universal languages- we find out that 85% of the speakers are non-native. It is not about learning a language from a native; it is about learning a language from someone who has the proper knowledge, skills, and ability to transmit to others effectively. Today's gue...

Fear is our biggest enemy; that's why overcoming the fear and self-imposed limitations are the keys to recreate a new and better version of ourselves. We live in a constant process of recreating ourselves. Through time, we find ourselves in different scenarios or environments that lead us to change the way we see things around; analysing where we are and who we want to become will take us to...
