In this episode I'm sharing how I'm planning for the year! By embracing progress not perfection, focusing on what's in my control and following through with the commitments to myself. 2021 was a year of so much self-investment, clarity and returning to self and I plan to continue stepping into my best self in the new year. I'm sharing some of the challenges and lessons I learned to help you with on your journey.

"If you want to change your life, you have to do something you've never done before."

I used one of my favorite books, Everything is Figureoutable as the general framework for defining your dreams.

If you’re ready to rediscover your most confident self in order to live a more purpose driven life and create a business that feels fulfilling and abundant, schedule a clarity call to learn more about my 1:1 coaching program here.

Today's Grow with the Flow Podcast guest is one of my favorite writers, storytellers, theologians, feminists, and pit bull fanatics. Prisca Dorcas! Who might I add is a fellow Nicaraguense.

Prisca’s bulk of her work is around making education accessible, through storytelling and curating content.

She started the platform Latina Rebels in 2013, which today has over 300k organic followers online. She has been featured in Telemundo, Univision, Mitú, amongst many other news outlets. She is unapologetic, angry, and uncompromising about protecting and upholding the stories of Latinx communities. Her new book For Brown Girls with Sharp Edges and Tender hearts is the love letter to women of color we didn’t know we needed. 

This book validated all of the healing I’ve spent these last couple of years doing and was the momentum that I needed to keep going.

Throughout the episode, we chat about finding your voice and reclaiming your life through story-telling and inner-child healing. We dive into the uncomfortable journey of choosing yourself and setting boundaries with family members.

This episode is for everyone who has felt like they've been living under a mask, without a sense of belonging, with strained parent relationships, and with a fear of disappointing others and taking up space. You are not alone and I hope by listening to this, you find even the slightest bit of empowerment to choose yourself each time.

I’ll let the episode speak for itself but if you enjoyed it, please  share it on your stories, with a friend and leave a review.

Trigger warning: We briefly discuss abortion at 18:05.

ps. I am now taking clients for 2022! If you want to learn more about rediscovering your identity outside of your work and relationships and you are ready to do the hard work it takes to create the life that you want and deserve, apply to my 12-week 1:1 coaching program here.

Welcome to season two of Grow with the Flow podcast!! I am so excited to share a little piece of my heart and life in this episode and the ones to come. Last season we got real vulnerable and this season will be no different. While a lot of things have changed since season one, I'm still that same millennial, multi-faceted, Latina romanticizing her everyday life and the mission of this podcast stays the same; to empower you to become the best version of yourself while growing with the flow. 

This season we'll chat about overcoming quarter life-crisis, navigating entrepreneurship, exploring your identity and purpose, shifting your mindset and redefining success + so much more. On some weeks I will be joined by empowering women of color that are leading by example and breaking glass ceilings on their own terms.

*The unsettling racial violence against the Asian community in recent events has been devastating. Sadly, these are not isolated incidents but a part of larger historical patterns of anti-asian hate and violence since the Chinese Exclusion Act. 

In the US over 3700 self-reported incidents of Anti-Asian Discrimination occurred in the last year according to stop AAPI hate. Myself and Grow with the Flow Podcast stands against anti-Asian racism and xenophobia.
