EP. 162: How to Make 2025 Your Courage Year - Webinar

Now is the perfect time to start planning for the new year. We can start by thinking about how to make 2025 your most courageous year yet! The new year is the best time to take a leap of faith and reinvent yourself for the better, and the best part is, you don’t have to do it alone! Reinventing yourself doesn't have to take forever or be hard. I know this because I've taken all the wrong routes and reinvented my life so many times. I’ve learned a lot of tough lessons throughout the years and tha...

EP. 161: What Will They Think? Breaking Free from Fear of Judgement

We are officially in the last month of 2024, and naturally, we’re all doing a little more self-reflecting. My clients and I are thinking about our goals, our dreams, and what we accomplished this year. But there’s always that little voice in the back of our heads that tells us we could’ve done more if only we weren’t holding back. Limiting beliefs, like the fear of judgment, keeps us from reaching our most aspirational goals. Naturally, we care about what other people think. It’s human nature. B...

EP. 160: Kicking Through Barriers: How Fitness Sparks Personal Growth with Khay Mandap

This week’s guest spent years putting off her coaching business even though she was already giving away her coaching services for free. She pushed the business part of coaching to the back of her mind even though she had a line of potential customers asking her for her help. Patrons from her gym asked her for her advice because they knew they could trust her. Khay knew she needed to make a change, but she needed help taking courageous action. To start her personal growth journey, Khay needed to ...

EP. 159: From Fear to Fulfillment: Anahi’s Path to Becoming the Host of Querida Latina with Anahi Bravo

There’s one mindset block that I don’t see anyone else talking about but it keeps coming up in the Courage Driven Latina program. It’s called passive action and it’s keeping ambitious women from fulfilling their wildest dreams. These are not crazy, unattainable dreams. These dreams are well within my clients’ reach. But because they find themselves taking passive action, researching for hours instead of taking actionable steps toward their goals, they're letting fear creep into their minds. We h...

EP. 157: 10 Reasons Why You Haven't Started on Your Dream Project

We are two months away from the end of the year, and my mind is already on 2025. I want to get so much done in 2025, but I also want to take the time to look at what I did and didn’t do in 2024. Let’s go on this journey of reflection together and see what we can bring into the new year. There are so many reasons we don’t start our dream projects. It could be external reasons, like our jobs being really hectic or just going through a breakup and taking time to heal. But what if none of those thin...

EP. 156: Self-love, Manifestation, and Identity with Jess Jaso

Is this what you want to do with your life? That’s the question this week’s guest asked herself right before she decided it was time to make a change. She did a full 180, quit her job, and broke up with her longtime boyfriend so that she could start completely over. At that moment, Jess decided it was time to take control of her life and start manifesting brand new opportunities for the life she actually wanted to live. Jess Jasso is a Self-Love Coach who began her personal self-love journey sev...

EP. 154: Attracting Abundance: Million-Dollar Wins, Business Breakthroughs, and New Friendships with Revekka Balancier

Sometimes, we are the only thing standing in our own way. We let our fear of failure, or even the fear of success, keep us from making our dreams a reality. But when you are annoyed, frustrated, or even paralyzed by your journey so far, how do you get the courage to keep going? How do you stop self-sabotaging and finally start making progress?

EP. 153: Why Manifestation is Easier Than Strategy

Strategy is a very important part of running your own business. But so is manifestation, and oftentimes, it’s easier to execute than strategy. I know it sounds woo-woo but it's true! You need both to get the results you want, especially if you want to build a better life for yourself. One of the main reasons manifestation is easier is the fact that you are manifesting all the time. Whether you are aware of it or not, you are always manifesting. It’s a law of the universe! So if you’re already do...

EP. 152: Attracting Opportunities: Turning Limiting Beliefs Into Sales & Success With Diana Serrano

If you feel like you’re stuck in a rut, you’re in the right place. Before my clients met me, they were in that same rut. They had great ideas and amazing potential but couldn't turn these great ideas into their reality. And they weren’t sure why. All they knew was that if they were going to turn their lives around, they needed guidance. This week’s guest is Diana Serrano, a student of the Courage Driven Latina Program and the Magnetic Mastermind program. Diana is an accountant dedicated to helpi...

EP. 149: The Power of Solitude and Making Friends as an Adult

Making friends as an adult is so much harder now than it was when we were kids. As kids, we made friends with whoever we had to be around. That meant making friends with our classmates in school, our teammates in our sports teams, and whoever was interested in the same hobbies as us. But as adults, we feel like we have two options—work and home. At work, we tend to want to keep things professional. So, how are we supposed to make friends as adults? I’ve learned that you can make friends by not b...

EP. 148: The Art of Manifesting: The Step-by-Step Framework

Sometimes when I talk about what I’ve manifested, people think that I’m talking about woo-woo nonsense. It can feel a little far-fetched. Like it’s a skill that some people have access to and others don’t. But I’m here to tell you that that is not the case. Yes, manifesting can be insanely spiritual. But there is also a formula for manifesting that is backed up by neuroscience. It is one of my favorite ways to manifest and by sharing this I hope it can help you manifest your wildest dreams.

My year so far has been filled with a ton of lessons and a lot of growth. My business and my life have been filled with so many ups and downs that I wanted to take a moment this week to reflect.

EP. 145: Hustle vs. Discipline: Get Things Done Without Hustling - Repost

It’s time to say goodbye to hustle culture and start focusing on what actually works - discipline. I used to be the type of person who wanted to hustle, climb the corporate ladder, and achieve the highest level of corporate success. But the more I tried, the more I knew that hustle culture is not at all sustainable. Hustle culture is based on a lack mindset. The anxiety around hustling makes you believe that there’s not enough to go around. It forces you to believe that if you’re not working you...

EP. 144: Why Pivots Can't Wait: Leverage Your Career For Growth

Are you choosing to be underpaid and overworked? Maybe not consciously, but you are staying put at a job that doesn’t value you. Times have changed, being loyal to the same company that’s exploiting you isn’t going to give you the career growth you deserve. I know you want bigger and better things for your career, you just don’t know what to do about it. Which is exactly why I’m going to share the secret to career growth - pivoting.

EP. 143: 4 Proven Steps to Reinvent Yourself in Just 90 Days

Do you want to reinvent yourself but you always find yourself feeling stuck? Before I met my Courage Driven Latina clients, they were feeling the same way. They tried to make a change on their own but their motivation always ran out after two weeks. That’s because motivation on its own always runs out. What these women needed, more than motivation, was community - and the Courage Driven Latina program gave them exactly what they were looking for.

EP. 142: How to Set and Keep Boundaries Without Losing Relationships with Liz Torres

EP. 137: From Fear to Feasible: Making Your Ambitious Goals Attainable

Are you being held back by fear? Many of my clients in Courage Driven Latina are held back by all kinds of fear - the fear of failure, the fear of being seen, and the fear of taking a leap of faith. They’re afraid of what the future could hold because they don’t know what that looks like. But that’s ok! No one knows what the future looks like! The confidence and certainty come later - when you’re doing it. And even then, you’re never 100% certain. That’s why you should do it anyway. This week, w...

Which is why I’m introducing you to this week's guest. She took courageous action and now she’s on her way to owning a seven-figure business. R...

When I first met my clients in the Courage Driven Latina program, many of them said that they joined because they just needed the courage to start. They told me that once they started, they knew they could achieve their goals. And while that’s true, the courage to start is not always sustainable. You also need the courage to keep going no matter what. And I mean it - no matter what. It’s easy to stay motivated when things are going your way. But your dreams become a reality once you face adversi...
