https://signup.empowermente.co/webinar

What if one last mensaje could change how we grieve—and how we live? In this episode, Gina sits down with first-gen founder Estrella Quiroz, co-creator of Last Farewells, to talk about turning pain into propósito. We dive into Yes Theory vibes (“seek discomfort”), saying sí to bold opportunities, and the exact mindsets that helped Estrella leave a comfy six-figure job to build a tech startup around legacy, love, and comunidad. You’ll learn: how to build in public, test scrappy, pitch audaciously, and stay grounded in faith when the camino gets hard. If you’ve ever wondered how to honor your familia while chasing big dreams, this one is puro corazón.

Description:

Public speaking doesn’t have to feel like a nightmare—it can be one of the most powerful tools to elevate your voice, your brand, and your career.

In this episode of Empowermente: The Headquarters of Personal Empowerment, I sit down with Yvonne Armenta, public speaking coach and founder of Latina Presente, to talk about what it really takes to step into the spotlight with confidence.

We dive into: 💡 How Yvonne went from being an introvert in tech to a full-time speaker and entrepreneur 🔥 The biggest mistakes Latinas make in meetings and how to avoid diluting your message 🌹 The magic of “storytelling like our abuelitas” and how our cultura already holds the tools to captivate any audience ⚡ Tangible tips to show up with executive presence in everyday life—not just on stage

If you’ve ever felt scared to speak up in a meeting, pitch your ideas, or step on stage, this episode will remind you that your voice deserves to be heard.

What happens when a first-gen Latina not only becomes a psychologist but uses her platform to break stigma, build representation, and inspire the next generation, all while getting published in Oprah Daily?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisette Sanchez — entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and unapologetic trailblazer — to talk about her path from a curious 7th grader to one of the few Latinas with a PhD in psychology.

We go deep into:

• How childhood experiences can spark lifelong purpose.
• The discernment skill that shaped her career (and how you can use it).
• Why she left her “dream job” to build a business on her own terms.
• How first-gen women can protect their energy while pursuing big dreams.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, future public speaker, or simply a first-gen Latina ready to step into her poder, this conversation will leave you feeling seen and unstoppable.

From South Central LA to NASA, Claudia Pineda’s story is a true testament to what’s possible when first-gen Latinas believe in the power of their voice.

In this episode, we dive into Claudia’s journey: growing up with immigrant parents, navigating the hidden codes of engineering and STEM as a woman of color, and rediscovering her passion for public speaking. We talk about how Claudia turned her nonprofit volunteer work into a paid consultant role — and how it all started with shifting her identity and learning to ask for what she’s worth.

We also explore healing, therapy, self-advocacy, and the importance of mental health in high-achieving spaces. If you’ve ever felt multi-passionate, overlooked, or unsure how to integrate all sides of you… Claudia’s story is the reminder you need that your voice matters — and it’s worth getting paid for.

Ever look around and realize you're living the life you once prayed for? In this cozy, real-time catch-up episode, I’m inviting you behind the scenes of my current season — desde my new apartment and kitties to entrepreneurship updates, friendships, wedding planning, and most importantly, a deeper spiritual alignment.

This isn’t your typical “value-packed” episode — it’s a life update from my corazón. I talk about how I’ve been reclaiming my voice after life transitions, how I’ve made peace with my past, and why I believe deeply in the philosophy of “Ask and it is Given.”

Whether you're in a season of clarity or confusion, my hope is that this episode helps you feel seen, inspired, and grounded in your own journey. Because sí se puede, comadre — you don’t have to settle for a life that doesn’t feel aligned.

In this episode of Empowermente, Gina gives you a behind-the-scenes look at her entrepreneurial journey—sharing both the wins and the challenges of running a business. From creative autonomy, freedom of time, and limitless possibilities… to the tough stuff like taxes, legal worries, lack of built-in structure, and dealing with self-doubt when no one’s clapping for your work.

Gina also shares life updates, including wedding planning in Mexico, becoming a cat mom (hi Canela and Silver!), and surviving the Phoenix heat. Whether you’re dreaming of starting a business, already building one, or just curious about what it really feels like—this honest reflection is for you.

✨ Key topics covered:

• The pros and cons of entrepreneurship
• Lessons learned after leaving corporate

• Navigating self-doubt and validation hangover

• Creating your own structure and staying focused

• Balancing life, business, and personal growth

In this powerful episode of Empowermente, I share the raw, unfiltered keynote I delivered to migrant students and their families at Arizona State University’s MSSA program.

This is one of the most vulnerable talks I’ve ever given — where I reflect on the seeds our parents plant in us, the courage it takes to dream beyond tradition, and the audacity of turning your story into something bigger than you.

We talk about:

• Being the first in your family to go to college

• Navigating traditional gender roles

• Feeling guilty for dreaming bigger — and doing it anyway

• Turning pain and sacrifice into purpose

• And why your story doesn’t need to be perfect to be powerful

If you’ve ever felt like the only one in the room, or like you’re carrying the dreams of generations on your shoulders — this one is for you.
