Iris Canela is a proud first-generation Mexican-American and the eldest daughter from San José, California. She’s a former K–12 special education teacher turned corporate sales + customer success pro—who began a new chapter two years ago as a life coach focused on surrender work.
In this episode, Iris shares how high achievement and the urge to control every outcome led to burnout—and how inner work helped her let go of expectations, reconnect with herself, and redefine success. Now she guides Latinas + women of color to let go of draining roles and rise into lives that feel aligned, free, and joyful.
