Right now, there’s so much conflict and unrest throughout the country, we need our leaders to step up and have our voices heard. The best way to do that is to vote.

What will it take for you to make a powerful change in your life? 

It’s easy to get stuck in the mundane routines of life, living into the status quo. Sometimes that means we don’t eat healthy foods, don’t move our bodies enough, or even don’t care for our mental health in the ways we need to.

For my dear friend Diana Gallo, it took a health scare to push her to make those necessary shifts in her life. Diana has worked as a model for over 20 years and is truly beautiful on both the inside and outside. She’s the founder of Manhattan Model Studio, has appeared on magazine covers, commercials, TV shows, music videos, movies, and so much more. 

However, modeling wasn’t always her focus, even though it was something that truly enjoyed. She used to spend her time working in courtrooms, draining her energy and dreading every day there. It was only when she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 44 that she decided to take her life in a new direction: focus on getting grounded, become a yoga instructor, and dive deep into modeling. 

Tune in to learn more about Diana’s journey and the lessons she’s learned in life so far.  

Some Questions I Ask: 

• What advice do you have for those that have breast cancer right now? (16:22)

Amiga, It’s Time to Leave Your Cultural Limitations Behind!

What’s the cultural limitation that first comes to mind, that has run in your family for generations? And how can you change the narrative around, so that your children don’t experience it?

As Latinas, we all know how things run in our families! I’m sure most of you can relate to the shame that surrounded topics like sex, going out after dark, or even divorce. The things we’ve experienced in our childhood – the fears, the shame – still linger in our adult lives and can most often prevent us from being the powerhouses and badass Latinas that we can be.

It’s time to put those limitations to rest! And we can only do that together, by sharing our experiences, and learning that we’re not alone in this.

That’s what this episode is all about! Today, I am joined by five amazing Amigas and we’re talking real talk! They openly share personal stories around the cultural limitations experienced in childhood, how those translated into their current life, and they offer powerful advice on how we can challenge those mindset blocks so that we and our children can start living a healthier and happier life.

You’re going to hear my dear friends that have different backgrounds but definitely one thing in common: they all are badass Latinas! Fanny Varela is an instructional coach and educator for 25 years. Laura Brusa-O’Connell – born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a Master in Psychology, has worked for 16 years for different non-profit organizations, and for the past 5 years, she works with her husband in his construction business. Monique Olmo – a blogger and entrepreneur, 2nd generation Puerto Rican, the only female child in a household with five kids. Veronica Franco – Vice President of Sales for Provident Title. And last, but definitely not least, Alex Chavez, a kindergarten teacher who loves shaping the characters of young kids.  

Tune in and listen to Episode 05 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and learn how to not stay stuck in the reality of shame, but thrive instead, with the powerful help that a strong community can offer.

Some questions I ask:

• What is your experience with shame, and how did that transcend in your family? (06:53)
• How can we, as adults, change the narrative and overcome the cultural limitations that we have? (20:13)
• What do you guys think would be the first step in changing this dynamic that we live in? (32:10)

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How the ‘sex talk’ was a taboo subject in our families. (10:46)
• How fear and shame go hand in hand & the long-term benefits of women growing up in the ‘Me too’ movement. (18:48)
• How to teach your children to be creative and not repeat the same patterns that have run in your family for generations. (21:00)
• The double standard with raising boys versus girls. (26:16)
• The cultural shame around divorce. (29:23)
• How journaling can be a powerful tool to discover your own limitations and find ways to overcome them. (36:49)

Redefining women and femininity has been very present in today’s society. Women are not secluded to their home roles anymore but are able to be their own bosses and entrepreneurs.

Through keeping in touch with the divine and letting your heart drive you, more women can build themselves up into overcoming their fears and becoming who they truly are with the individual definition of success they each have.

Today, I am honored to present to you someone as beautiful on the inside as on the outside, my friend and soon-to-be collaborator, Sandra Williams. She is a family and business-focused Angelina, with a passion for helping and uplifting the women who need it the most, while also dedicating her time to her family’s business. Having studied at University level in both the US and in England, Sandra has paved her way as a woman of faith into conscious entrepreneurship and conscious co-creator with the divine.

Sandra’s most admirable act is, however, her participation in the project of Prosperity Homes, which essentially entails providing homes for single mothers who cannot afford them. Sandra’s philanthropic and spiritual work has enriched her life in a way where she is urged to share her views and try to help others. Her mission with Prosperity Homes comes from her wanting to harness the power of the real estate industry to uplift humanity because her belief is, by helping women you are directly helping humanity. Lastly, Sandra believes that through harmony, self-empowerment, and soul-centering, you can learn to lead your life by drawing through your hearts and through your souls.

Tune in to Episode 4 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and learn more about Sandra’s journey and how you can connect with the Divine.

Living in fear will always stop you from reaching your dreams! Once you start taking one step after another toward your goals, the universe starts keeping up with your pace and making things happen for you. 

Life is a constant flow of day-to-day decisions that push you to become your better self and help eradicate the fear that causes you to miss out on opportunities. 

This week’s guest, Claire Risoli, says that the fear of staying in the same place has to be greater than the fear of moving forward. Claire is a dear friend of mine and an amazing, successful, self-made woman. She’s of Romanian, jewish, and Mexican descent, passionate about her work and family, and extremely proud of her Latina roots. I’m thoroughly excited to introduce you to her. 

Claire is an actress, producer, entrepreneur, Vice President and Independent Consultant of the skincare company Arbonne International, as well as co-owner of a Mexican-inspired restaurant in Los Angeles. She’s passionate about health, beauty, and personal growth, making her such an inspiring person and empowering woman. 

Throughout her journey at Arbonne she helped transform lives through premium vegan products, as well as discovered that choosing her own path of passion makes her a lot happier than pursuing a path forced on her. She shares her inspiring insights with us today and teaches us that through hard work, passion, and dedication you can start living the life of your dreams. 

Join me and Claire Risoli to gain back your feminine power and become the unapologetic and unstoppable Latina you were meant to be.
