Cafe con Pam

On this week's episode, Pam chats with Rosalind Chow, author of "The Doors You Can Open: A New Way to Network, Build Trust, and Use Your Influence to Create a More Inclusive Workplace," for a real and relatable conversation about what it actually takes to build stronger networks and more inclusive workplaces. Rosalind opens up about her journey as a Chinese American, growing up in San Diego, the realities of feeling like an outsider in elite spaces, and how those experiences inspired her research into power, mentorship, sponsorship, and social capital on the job. This episode is packed with honest stories, helpful advice, and plenty of laughs—plus, some super practical tips for anyone looking to open more doors for themselves and others at work.

In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Dalina Soto (aka The Latina Nutritionist) about her journey from growing up as the eldest daughter in a Dominican family in Philly to becoming a dietitian who’s changing the way we think about nutrition. Dalina opens up about what it was like feeling out of place in traditional nutrition spaces, how she found her voice to challenge outdated (and mostly whitewashed) nutrition advice, and why embracing her cultura in the world of wellness is so important. She also shares behind-the-scenes stories from writing her book, talks intuitive eating through a cultural lens, and even spills her go-to coffee ritual. Whether you’re curious about food, health, or breaking the mold as a Latina in business, this episode brings real talk, laughter, and tons of inspiration.

The conversation gets real about the challenges of being an immigrant kid, how mental health is (or isn’t) talked about in Latino families, and what it means to find your place and your voice. Juan talks about turning pain into purpose, creating community, and what keeps him grounded while doing big work as an advocate. Grab your cafecito and join us!
