As a Latina, what has been your experience in the corporate world? Do you feel you are equipped to fight the battles every woman of color has to fight in entrepreneurship? 

As first-generation Latinos, we grew up hearing that the only way out is through hard work, that the best job ever is the one you have, and you know you are doing well if you are exhausted, and every inch of your body hurts. Although there's nothing wrong with being hardworking, life doesn't have to be all pain and hustle; the road to success can also be smoother and flow easily. 

In today's episode, I share my interview at Geminme, Kateryn Ferreira's podcast, a show created to serve, inspire, and empower first generations. Kateryn is a First-Gen International Speaker, Author, Philanthropist, Mental Health Advocate, Self-Development Guru, and Community Builder. She is also the Executive Director and Founder of Jóvenes Empower, explicitly created to unite and empower youth worldwide to grow, learn, transform, and support each other. 

Tune in to Episode 148 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, and learn about my journey from law practitioner to entrepreneur, the origin story of the Amiga Handle Your Shit! podcast, my transition to coaching, and the inspiration for my book: "The AMIGA Way." We also talked about the divine guidance always present in my life, the struggles and how I dealt with my condition, the barriers for Latinas and women of color in the workforce, and much more.
