Episode #181: Proudly sharing our newest show - The Parenting Experience with Tata!

Summary:

Raised amidst the vibrant culture of Barranquilla, Colombia, I, Tatiana, or Tata as my friends call me, faced a life marked by both love and challenge. My journey to the United States, sparked by a devastating heartbreak, unfolded into a path of unexpected trials and profound self-discovery. In our inaugural podcast episode, I share the complexities of growing up with an abusive, alcoholic father and the pivotal support of my two brothers. Through this narrative, I unveil how therapy and setting boundaries have helped me nurture a respectful relationship with my father, fueling my passion for supporting others in creating loving family environments. A significant turning point in my life came with a thyroid cancer diagnosis, just 18 months after moving to the U.S., as I juggled health battles and my mother's painful divorce. With the unwavering support of my endocrinologist, Carlos Coelho, I embarked on a path of self-love and recovery, learning to embrace my voice both literally and metaphorically.

This transformative period in my life became a catalyst for my mission to inspire others, proving that strength can be found in the face of adversity, and that sharing our stories can illuminate the path for others. Embracing motherhood through fostering and adoption has been another incredible facet of my journey. Together with my husband, Mark, and united by our shared love for basketball, we faced the heartache of infertility before discovering the joy of building a family through adoption. Our family's story, including welcoming Nikki, a courageous young woman with pancreatic cancer, underlines the resilience and unconditional love that define family beyond biological ties. As you listen to our experiences, we hope to foster a community of hope and encouragement, showing that no matter the path, there is always light and purpose in the journey of parenthood.

Episode #173: A failed partnership once taught me a valuable lesson about the role of ego in business. This episode unravels how ego, while often seen as arrogance, can serve as both a hidden catalyst and a roadblock to success. We explore how balancing ego is crucial in professional settings, sharing insights on recognizing when ego might be sabotaging your progress. Whether it leads to missed promotions or business opportunities, understanding the signs of detrimental ego is essential for navigating the complex dynamics of business effectively.

Leadership demands the ability to set aside ego, and the best leaders are those who don't need to be the smartest person in the room. Drawing from years of experience with high-level executives, I emphasize the importance of surrounding oneself with top talent and embracing their expertise. My own journey, from parenting to professional life, provides relatable anecdotes that show how welcoming external expertise can amplify rather than diminish one's role. True confidence stems from knowing your strengths and being open to learning from others.

We round out the episode with practical strategies for managing ego in personal and professional arenas. Self-reflection becomes a powerful tool—asking yourself whether you are protecting your interests or serving a collective vision can guide your actions. By prioritizing curiosity over defensiveness and seeking specific feedback, ego transforms from a foe to a strategic ally. We also touch on when to leverage ego to fuel courage and vision, emphasizing that it can be a powerful force for growth when managed wisely.
