Exactly a week ago, I flew to Nashville, Tennessee, for a two-day branding workshop to get coached on creating my new keynote presentation.  I documented my experience like a series of journal entries (a peek into my real world experience) to bring you along with me. Speaking of the “Real World” I wasn’t allowed to […]

He asked me, “what’s your number?”  Which is code for, WHEN IS ENOUGH, ENOUGH? It came off the back of a conversation about growth, goals, financial security expectations.  And, like, is there a point when you look at your business, and think–yeah–this is it, I’m ready to take my foot off the pedal? His message […]

Not gonna lie…I feel icky writing this. I want this note to be all inspirational and stuff, like I always have it together. But I don’t. I’m making it up as I go along. SHHH, LET’S KEEP THIS A SECRET BETWEEN US, SHALL WE? I feel icky because I recently responded to a proposed contract with a […]

There’s an awkward conversation I often shy away from. I don’t talk much about the impact my daughter has had in my business. I don’t talk much about it because—quite frankly—I’m trying to figure it out. I’m a first generation Latina, entrepreneur, and CEO/mother. I’m a self-taught business owner, so adding a toddler to the […]

Have you ever done something in business that embarrassed you so much that you wanted to cancel before it even started? This happened to me last week. I sat in the back of an Uber and sent him the following text: I was excited to record a podcast with Lewis Howes, and booked a podcast […]

They asked if I wanted to cancel the live announcement. I let out a deep sigh, and simply said, no. It was Friday, February 10th and we decided to postpone the debut of the new platform…the surprise debut that was slated for February 14th. JUST FOUR DAYS LATER. My stomach was in knots because the tech […]

I had written an entirely different blog post today.  It included references to mermaids and big ideas. It was cute.  Really, it was. But it was also pretty boring. So I scrapped it because I want to share a bit of where I’m at.  Buckle up, it’s getting real. At the end of last year, […]

I recently told my therapist I liked to be fully prepared at all times and she asked, “is that really necessary?” My brain started spinning. But, WAIT! How could someone see my potential if I didn’t have my “be prepared” gear on? How could they know my capabilities if I didn’t have my protective sources […]

We’re 25 days into 2023, and let me tell you the biggest difference in my mindset. I was—quite literally—shrinking my potential based on my history and (limited) experiences, and convincing myself that was my TRUTH. Instead of looking at the world as endless opportunities (which it is), I decided what was possible for me was […]

Can I share a personal example of a time when I knew I was meant for MORE, but didn’t know where/how/when to start? In 2015, I was at a pivot in my life and business, and I needed a fresh perspective, a new way of thinking, and the challenge of being surrounded by people who […]
