Ch*ngona Revolution

If you feel like you’re stuck in a rut, you’re in the right place. Before my clients met me, they were in that same rut. They had great ideas and amazing potential but couldn't turn these great ideas into their reality. And they weren’t sure why. All they knew was that if they were going to turn their lives around, they needed guidance. 

This week’s guest is Diana Serrano, a student of the Courage Driven Latina Program and the Magnetic Mastermind program. Diana is an accountant dedicated to helping first-generation service entrepreneurs manage their bookkeeping and taxes with confidence. She’s passionate about empowering the Latine community by bridging the gap between tax education and financial success. As the eldest daughter of Mexican immigrants, Diana takes pride in her roots and loves being able to give back to her community. When she’s not crunching numbers, you’ll likely find her traveling abroad or trying a new workout.

In this week’s episode, Diana shares her experience in the Courage Driven Latina program and the Magnetic Mastermind program. She experienced failure after failure before joining the program and she wanted to change that. With my guidance and the help of her new friends in our group coaching sessions, Diana learned how to push through her limiting beliefs and cultivate a firm belief in her mission. Now she’s received thirteen inquiries and is running a successful business. 

Tune in to hear more about her recent successes and how she overcame the obstacles in her path.

Have you been trying to manifest your most amazing life and felt like you’re falling short? You think you’re doing everything right but you’re still not reaching your goals or hitting your milestones. That can be so incredibly frustrating.

I firmly believe that anyone can manifest, even the person who isn’t seeing any results. It’s not that you can’t manifest. You definitely can! We just need to audit your manifestation practices and get rid of any mistakes. Let’s take a look at what’s going on internally that’s blocking you from receiving your blessings externally.

In this week’s episode, we’re going over the most common manifestation mistakes and how to fix them. More often than not, our manifestations don’t come through because we’re blocking our own blessings. And sometimes we do it without even realizing it! Tune into this week's episode to see if you are making any of these manifesting mistakes and how you can fix them.

Making friends as an adult is so much harder now than it was when we were kids. As kids, we made friends with whoever we had to be around. That meant making friends with our classmates in school, our teammates in our sports teams, and whoever was interested in the same hobbies as us. 

But as adults, we feel like we have two options—work and home. At work, we tend to want to keep things professional. So, how are we supposed to make friends as adults? I’ve learned that you can make friends by not being afraid to be alone. 

In this week’s episode, I will share how I made friends by using the power of solitude. I know it sounds counterintuitive but it really does work! By being alone I’ve made friends just by attending dance classes, traveling to different countries, and even while taking coaching courses for my business. I met some of my best friends in a coaching course! Listen to this episode to learn why being alone is the most important part of making friends as an adult.

Sometimes when I talk about what I’ve manifested, people think that I’m talking about woo-woo nonsense. It can feel a little far-fetched. Like it’s a skill that some people have access to and others don’t.

But I’m here to tell you that that is not the case. Yes, manifesting can be insanely spiritual. But there is also a formula for manifesting that is backed up by neuroscience. It is one of my favorite ways to manifest and by sharing this I hope it can help you manifest your wildest dreams. 

In this week’s episode, I will share with you the art of manifesting. I’ll be sharing my step-by-step framework to manifest all of my desires without getting anxious and without putting pressure on timing. With this framework, I have manifested a cup of coffee, featured in the New York Times, and the clients I needed when I first started my coaching business. Tune in to this incredible episode to hear more about my manifesting journey and how you can manifest anything you want, too.

In this week's episode, Gigi will be sharing all the nitty-gritty details about writing and hybrid publishing her first book. That includes costs, timelines, coaches, and more! If you are interested in writing a book, this episode will be a treat!

My year so far has been filled with a ton of lessons and a lot of growth. My business and my life have been filled with so many ups and downs that I wanted to take a moment this week to reflect. I know that this is a part of life, ups and downs happen. But what you do when these ups and downs happen is what’s important. 

So what do you do when you don’t know what to do? 

In this week’s episode, I’m going to share the habit I practice when I don’t know what to do. Meditation has provided me with many solutions, and I just have to share my experience with you. Hopefully, sharing my story can inspire you to meditate when you don’t know what to do, too.

It’s time to say goodbye to hustle culture and start focusing on what actually works - discipline. I used to be the type of person who wanted to hustle, climb the corporate ladder, and achieve the highest level of corporate success. But the more I tried, the more I knew that hustle culture is not at all sustainable.

Hustle culture is based on a lack mindset. The anxiety around hustling makes you believe that there’s not enough to go around. It forces you to believe that if you’re not working yourself to the bone every day, you won’t get anything done. But that’s just not true. What you’re craving is not hustle, it’s discipline. 

This week’s episode is a repost of our most popular episode. In it, I will explain the difference between hustle culture and maintaining discipline. Discipline is a much more sustainable way of thinking and keeps you focused even when you’re not motivated. Discipline is crucial to achieving your long-term goals, and in this episode, I’m going to teach you how I became disciplined so that you can too.

Are you choosing to be underpaid and overworked? Maybe not consciously, but you are staying put at a job that doesn’t value you. Times have changed, being loyal to the same company that’s exploiting you isn’t going to give you the career growth you deserve. 

I know you want bigger and better things for your career, you just don’t know what to do about it. Which is exactly why I’m going to share the secret to career growth - pivoting. 

In this week’s episode, we’re talking about why a career pivot is not a nice-to-have, it’s a must-have priority. Pivoting in my career is why I went from earning six figures working at a doomed company to running my own multi-million dollar coaching business. Four years ago, I took a leap of faith and embraced a new change in my life. And now I’m going to teach you everything I learned so that you can too.

Do you want to reinvent yourself but you always find yourself feeling stuck? Before I met my Courage Driven Latina clients, they were feeling the same way. They tried to make a change on their own but their motivation always ran out after two weeks. 

That’s because motivation on its own always runs out. What these women needed, more than motivation, was community - and the Courage Driven Latina program gave them exactly what they were looking for. 

This week’s episode is a replay of our most recent webinar, “4 Proven Steps to Reinvent Yourself in Just 90 Days.” In this episode, you are going to learn why you resist change, how you can stop resisting it, and how to reinvent yourself. It doesn't have to take a long time and it doesn't have to be difficult. You can change your entire life in just 90 days. And I'm going to show you the four strategies that have helped me, and over 200 clients, reinvent ourselves.
