Free to Be Mindful Podcast | Mindset, Permission and Real Talk for the High-Achieving Woman

“I love to enhance the natural beauty of a woman and help them see their true beauty for themselves. When they say to find a career you love and you never work a day in your life, it’s true!” Changing from the typical corporate job to fulfilling her passion and pursuing entrepreneurship and her love for makeup artistry was scary at first, but something Rhina Lopez knew was meant to be.

From learning to live with intention, to finding beauty in the struggle, this episode dives into how pursuing purpose and passion can turn your life around. It all starts with a small change - and that's exactly what following your dreams is about. 

Join licensed therapist Vanessa De Jesus Guzman and special guest and MUA Rhina Lopez as they explore inner and outer beauty, what enlightens the soul, and the impact of a transformative journey - all with a side of glam!

We all have a purpose! It's more than the goals we have or how much money we make — our purpose extends to the meaning we hold in the lives of those that we cherish. It holds weight in the dreams we have, no matter where we are in the process. And even when we feel like we don’t know our purpose, or we feel like we lack in some way and can’t recognize our true potential, our purpose is there — waiting to be tapped into.

This episode explores the pursuit of passion beyond the 9-5, using Enrichment, Value, Tax, and Investment as a new way of thinking by applying it to our personal lives! When we trust in the process and engage in things that feed our soul, we embark on a transformative journey of growth and discovery.

Tune into this podcast with licensed therapist Vanessa De Jesus Guzman to learn more about how to create a life of passion, through self-care, relationships, and more.

Wishes. Goals. Resolutions. Although we meet at the crossroads of these terms typically around New Year's, goals are flexible and should be implemented anytime, anywhere! And now that we're halfway through the new year, it's important to reflect on the importance of setting goals on our terms so that we can continuously learn and grow. 

This episode explores what goals are and how we can reach them. By being intentional with creating a plan, understanding the significance of a trigger, and taking initiative in our long-term resolutions by setting bite-sized goals, we take charge of our aspirations.
