Hello Rebels! This week we’re talking about a trend I’ve noticed with my clients and colleagues. We will create goals, try to manifest them without adjusting our actions, and then lose hope when we inevitably fail to reach these new goals. Don’t get me wrong, manifesting definitely works. But the universe needs more from you than good vibes. It needs a plan and it needs you to enact that plan. Tune in to learn about the foolproof action plan I use in the Courage Driven Latina Program and how you...

Hello Rebels! If you’re listening to this podcast, it’s probably because you’ve made some unconventional choices in your life.

Success is almost never linear. Isn’t that so frustrating!? We work so hard to achieve our dreams only to be let down at the finish line. But successful people know that failure is not the end, it's just the beginning. More often than not failure is redirection - it's not the end of the line. And before you write me off as an optimist, our guest has experienced this redirection firsthand. This week's guest is a former Courage Driven Latina student, Courtney Gutierrez! Courtney Gutierrez is an in...
