Stepping into to purpose by becoming your most authentic self..
In this weeks Self Embrace Story series I had the pleasure of connecting with my friend Vanessa Castillo as we spoke about getting more real and up close to the self.
We have been conditioned to be taken away from the self, or fragmented in our approach to self which leads us down a path of not being true to ourselves and potentially unhappiness.
Vanessa is a soulful and creative entrepreneur. As the founder of The Rich Girl Mindset and VCV Agency, she inspires individuals to embrace their authentic selves. Vanessa serves as a life and business coach, mentor, speaker, and talk show host. She creates alignment between mind, body, soul, and purpose, empowering positive shifts. With The Rich Girl Mindset, she fosters a community of connection, collaboration, and empowerment.
This episode is REAL talk around our identity and how it can mold and change over time and helps us with our purpose. Vanessa has a wonderful story to share and has lives a rich and colorful life.

Going a little deeper into the meaning of “outsourcing my worth” Sarita shares that by constantly negotiating her space, being on guard, molding to what has been expected of her caused her to manifest difficult situations over and over again.
The need to control and also to avoid pain she avoided getting hurt but at the same time realizing her actions lead her down a road of heartbreak.
Listen in as she shares her journey around discovering and reclaiming the parts of her she outsourced to others when she did not know any better.
This is the 2nd part of a 2 part series called “Outsourcing My Worth: My Adoption Story”

It was June 1983 and Sarita was uprooted from homeland, language and culture.
This week marks 40 years that Sarita came to the states through international adoption.
Believe it nor not Sarita’a adoption identity has been a big part of her healing journey. It’s been a complicated part of her life that she is still unpacking.
Sarita is what is called a International Transracial Adoptee, so she came to this country through international adoption and went into a family that was of a different race and culture than her own. Being raised in a family entity where she did not LOOK like my family members (other than her adopted sister) left her feeling a whole lot of feelings of inadequacy and feelings of “not being enough”
In this special episode celebrating 40 years being in the states she unpacks the complicated layers she has lived through her whole life. This is a 2 part series where she dives into how giving others the agency to tell her “enoughness” and worth ended up causing her to operate in a way that was not giving her the love she so desperately needed.
