Las Hermanas con Ingrid y Nerey

Ep. 16: HAPPY 2021! This is the year to get your finances in check. In fact, you're late to the party, but don't sweat it. Amy Robinson, my Texas Exes Mentor, is here to help you. Amy is a 26-year-old real estate business owner and low-key minimalist, which have both greatly shaped her views on money - Saving, spending, and investing. She grew up in Plano, TX, yet fell in love with the big city life when she enrolled as a business student at UT Austin. Amy (through a ton of trial and "I hate this s*it") found herself with a major in Marketing and a real estate license by the time she was 21 and decided to pursue a career in ATX real estate right out of college. She and her business partner/best friend, Hannah Mickey, have built a business together over the last 2.5 years that not only works, but also allows them the freedom and flexibility to pursue their passions both personally and professionally, and the opportunity to retire early. Amy has learned over the years how to start and run a lean business, invest in the future she's excited about, and budget like a champion.

Ep. 13: Noelle Campos and Ingrid Garcia share their experience with disordered eating as young teenage girls. In this episode, we discuss how our eating disorders developed, the normalization of body dysmorphia, and building a healthier relationship with food and your body. We also touch on old habits we had and how we broke out of the vicious cycle as we matured and grew over the years, especially as we battled the social pressures of fitting into a specific 'skinny' mold.

Ep. 11: Your host, Ingrid Garcia gives all the details on her biggest bold move of the year: becoming a dog mom. We welcomed our beautiful German Shepherd Pitbull mix and named him Cappuccino. He's taught us a thing or two about patience, cuddles, and of course, staying on schedule. He loves naps, treats, and hates car rides. I also revealed my recent favorites, including an alternative to coffee and a women-led fashion company combating consumerism and fast-fashion. Lastly, I went real deep on what friendships mean to me and how they've evolved over the years, especially now as an adult with fewer opportunities to connect with people, considering the worldwide pandemic.

Ep. 9: It took Iris Karami a long time to embrace her multicultural identity from her father's Iranian background and her mother's Mexican heritage. She grew up in the melting pot of Houston where she was exposed to a variety of cultures and communities. Early on, Iris lived the life of a competitive dancer, but a skateboarding accident changed her life as she knew it. During her recovery, she read, wrote, and began to ask herself life's deepest questions like: what is my purpose? This quickly led to her passion for storytelling. Shortly after receiving her Bachelor's degree in Journalism from the University of Texas, Iris began her full-time job as a reporter with KVEO TV news station in South Texas.

Ep. 8: Julie Garcia joins me for a very candid conversation on graduating during a pandemic and how it affected her post-grad plans. She's a bold, ambitious woman who never settles for less than she wants, but COVID-19 surely surprised her and the rest of the world. Things aren't looking the way she had planned, but as we know, 2020 is about making the most of it. That is surely what she's doing, as she recently picked up her passion for YouTube again and is an active Instagram content creator, as well. You can find her YouTube channel at @BeautybyJulieGarcia and her witness her strong Instagram game at @juliegarcia16.

She shares her experience adjusting from high school valedictorian to STEM major at UT Austin, two vastly different worlds with different challenges. Specifically, she describes how she faces and fights the gender inequalities in the STEM academic space, but also in the workplace. Upon receiving her Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, her ambitious qualities led her to grad school at the University of Texas at San Antonio where she studies Structural Engineering. She is now back home in Laredo, Texas where she is attending virtual classes, while also juggling her side hustle and business, Artnetiq.
