This Is My Truth

Ep. 107: Creating Space to Lead By Leaning Into Your Authentic Self: A conversation with Mitzi Rivas


Listen Later

Today I chat with my friend, Mitzi Rivas about how she was able to step into her leadership role by leaning into her most authentic self. In our conversation, we discuss what we've learned from holding back and how it can block our own success and keeps the handcuffs on those that we want to serve the most.

A bit more about Mitzi in her own words:

In 2005, I came across a pair of beautiful, handmade kids shoes designed like little red foxes. I held them in my hand, admiring the fine details — the care and craftsmanship, the creative yet timeless design — and something inside me shifted. I sensed that I could merge my purpose with inspiring products. I had found my path to joy.


It meant stepping off the manicured path, into a wilder and uncertain place. I didn’t know exactly where it would lead; but knew that this path would fill my heart, energize my mind, make my heart race with thrill and fear while giving me the courage to take the leap.

Today, that same maverick spirit is at the heart of Livie and Luca, a beloved apparel brand known for their daring, imaginative designs that support kids’ well-being, inside and out.

But more than that, Livie & Luca is a vibrant community of people who do things differently, who create space to hear each other and be heard, who courageously seek their own paths to joy.

Mitzi invites you to join the movement.
