You’ve worked hard to create a beautiful life - a career, family, home, achievements and you are grateful. But at the same time… something feels off. You’re stretched too thin, restless, or quietly wondering: “Is this really it?”

In this episode of Unleash Your Light, Luz gets real about the tension so many women experience but rarely admit out loud: loving your life while craving more. She shares her own journey from TV reporter to life coach, the guilt that comes with wanting change, and why gratitude and growth are not opposites—they actually belong together.

You’ll walk away with three practical strategies to help you release the guilt, reclaim your time, and give yourself permission to want more without shame.

Because you don’t have to choose between being thankful and being fulfilled. You get to have both.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

-Why it’s normal to feel like something’s missing—even when you’re grateful

-How Luz realized success on paper didn’t equal presence in life

-The difference between healthy gratitude and toxic gratitude

-A simple reframe that takes you out of guilt and into possibility

Three tools you can start using today: The Permission Reframe, The Simplify Exercise, and The 10-Minute Clarity Pause
