In today’s episode, I had the great pleasure of speaking with Yelina Perez, Vegan Wellness Coach/Health and Wellness Lifestyle and BodyGoals Coach. I met Yelina on LinkedIn, where our passions for helping people live their healthiest and best lives brought us together. Although the foods on our plates look quite different, our mindsets surrounding living your healthiest and best life are very similar. Yelina brings such a young, fresh perspective on truly doing work that lights up your soul! At just 24 years old, Yelina has already started her corporate career and then really leaned into listening to her inner voice (which was driving her in a different direction than where she was headed with her corporate career), and she made the bold move to leave her 9-5 and step into her wellness business full-time! 

In this episode, Yelina tells us her story of her road to becoming a vegan, and how her mindset played a huge role in helping her leave that steady 9-5 job/income to step fully into her passion as a wellness and lifestyle coach. One of my most favorite quotes from Yelina in this interview is when talking about following your dreams, Yelina says, “It’s okay to be scared, but it’s not okay not to try”. BOOM!!
