Find Your Flow with Work & Momlife

Can you really build a multi-million dollar business while raising kids? In this episode of Find Your Flow with Work & Momlife, hosts Natalia Paulino and Amanda Li sit down with the legendary Dianna Kokoszka to talk about the raw reality of balancing motherhood, mindset, and massive business growth.

Long before she was recognized as a top 25 business coach and a 4-time Entrepreneur of the Year, Dianna was a single mother door-knocking for real estate leads, pulling her children behind her in a little red wagon. She took that relentless drive and went on to become the CEO of Keller Williams Realty International MAPS Coaching, scaling the enterprise from losses to over $500 million in revenue. She also authored the life-changing BOLD program and the best-selling book, Becoming More.

Whether you are a mom in real estate or a corporate professional trying to find your flow, Dianna’s insights on overcoming the days you want to give up will completely shift your perspective.

What We Cover in This Episode:

• The "Red Wagon" Days: How Dianna navigated the early hustle of real estate as a single mom.
• Overcoming Burnout: What Dianna did on the days she wanted to give up entirely.
• Shifting Your Mindset: Why you can't get to "better" until you get to "different."
• Designing Your Life: How she created the BOLD program during an economic crash and saved 175,000+ careers.
• The One Thing: The crucial piece of advice Dianna wants every working mom to hear today.

Welcome to Find Your Flow with Work & Momlife, the go-to podcast for moms navigating the world of business and motherhood! Hosted by Natalia Paulino and Amanda Li, both successful NYC realtors serving Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and Long Island, this podcast is all about finding what works for you—without the pressure of a one-size-fits-all approach.

In this heartfelt episode, Natalia and Amanda sit down with Farrah Vargas, a mother of three, multidimensional entrepreneur, and conscious leader, for a raw and grounding conversation on motherhood in spite of chaos.

Farrah shares her lived experience of rebuilding herself while raising a family, navigating separation, leading high-level teams across the U.S. and Latin America, and choosing growth over collapse. As the operations powerhouse behind a luxury hair studio, Farrah brings deep insight into building systems, culture, and leadership that support creativity without burnout—both in business and at home.

This episode weaves together:

• Motherhood during uncertainty and transition
• Identity shifts after becoming a mom
• Leading with intuition instead of survival mode
• Nervous-system regulation and holistic healing
• Honoring ancestral wisdom while building a modern life
• Remembering your power when life feels loud

Farrah reminds us that chaos doesn’t mean we’re failing—it often means we’re becoming. This is a conversation for mothers who are holding families, dreams, healing, and reinvention all at once… and doing their best to stay connected to themselves in the process.

In this special, intimate episode, Natalia sits down with returning guest Leticia Amaya for a relaxed, heart-led conversation over tea. No scripts. No pressure. Just two moms talking honestly about identity after becoming a mom—and what happens when the woman you were no longer fits, but the woman you’re becoming hasn’t fully arrived yet. 

Together, they explore what reinvention really looks like in real life—the quiet shifts, the emotional layers, the moments of confusion, and the beauty of allowing yourself to evolve. From losing parts of yourself, to finding new ones, to learning how to ask for support without guilt, this episode feels like sitting at the table with a friend who truly gets it. 

If you’ve ever loved motherhood and missed yourself…
If you’re in a season of becoming and don’t have all the answers yet…
If you’re craving permission to change without explaining yourself… 

This conversation is for you. ☕✨

In this deeply personal and emotional episode, we sit down with our dear friend Leslie Tapia to share her BRCA2 diagnosis journey and what it truly means to navigate health, fear, and strength as a mother of two daughters. 

Leslie and host Natalia Paulino have been close friends for over 15 years, first meeting in a salon in Texas and staying connected through life, motherhood, and now one of Leslie’s most transformative chapters. In this conversation, Leslie opens up about discovering her BRCA2 gene mutation, the decisions that followed, and how motherhood shaped every step of her journey. 

This episode is about more than a diagnosis. It’s about advocating for yourself, understanding genetic testing, protecting your future, and showing up for your children — even when you’re scared. It’s also about awareness, education, and reminding women that they are not alone. 

Whether you’re a mom, a woman considering genetic testing, or someone supporting a loved one, this conversation is meant to inform, empower, and hold space for you. 

✨ Topics we cover: 

• What a BRCA2 diagnosis really means
• The emotional impact of genetic testing
• Navigating motherhood while facing health decisions
• Talking to children during hard seasons
• Why BRCA awareness matters for women and moms

In this cozy, heart-filling episode, Natalia and Amanda dive into all things November — the season of slowing down, soaking things in, and remembering how good life really is when we pause long enough to notice it. From coffee rituals that get us through the morning chaos to the Thanksgiving traditions that anchor our families, this conversation feels like sitting at the table with two mom-friends who get it.

This month’s focus? Gratitude.
Not the Pinterest-perfect version — the real-life, “let me pause for 10 seconds before the next thing explodes” kind. We chat about how choosing just ONE thing to be grateful for each day can shift your energy, your mindset, and even how you show up for your family and your business.

Inside this episode, we talk about:
 ✨ Why November feels like the “reset month” for busy moms and entrepreneurs
 ✨ How daily gratitude (even one tiny thing!) builds resilience and brings more joy
 ✨ Our personal Thanksgiving traditions and what they represent for our families
 ✨ The grounding little rituals — like that sacred morning coffee — that help us stay present
 ✨ The heart and mission behind our podcast, built on women supporting women
 ✨ How community, connection, and grace help us juggle mom life and work with more ease

Whether you’re prepping for the holiday season, stirring a pot on the stove, or driving between appointments, this episode will wrap you in warmth, laughter, and a whole lot of real talk about gratitude, motherhood, and finding your flow.
