Today, I am speaking with June, a professional artist, wellness consultant, and storytelling coach. After spending her twenties as an artist and community organizer inside of nonprofit organizations, she began craving an alternative narrative to healing and justice beyond the struggle.

Curiosity led her back to Thailand, where she studied with a traditional midwife to learn the ways of her ancestors. That's when she realized that all of our ancestors were entrepreneurial.

Today, June facilitates private coaching and group masterminds for women and people of color who are seeking clarity in their messaging and confidence in their speaking so that they can grow their business from a place of alignment.

Today, I am speaking with Carla Gomez, a SoCal native who spent 13 years in NYC working in Wall Street banks, where she spent much of her career helping business leaders with challenges such as improving team performance or innovating their approach to business practices in some way.

Towards the end of her time in NYC, Carla attended Columbia Business School and graduated in 2016, which also prompted her to quit her corporate gig and head back to California.

Within a year of exploring her interests, Carla launched a small kombucha business in 2017.

The kombucha business was short-lived and in 2018 Carla went back to the corporate world doing leadership consulting.

It wasn’t long before the itch for the next entrepreneurial venture crept in and Carla’s current venture of enci sweets was born in December of 2019.

One could say that SaviaGuate was born from the founder's joy of sharing souvenirs from trips to her country with co-workers. With time, friends and family began requesting these items which ultimately led to the start of a business.

The truth is that SaviaGuate has been brewing for much, much longer. Leslie grew up in a household of women entrepreneurs and artisans who have been hand-crafting items ever since she can remember. This upbringing has instilled in her a deep love and appreciation for her culture and the tenacity it takes to create something by hand.

In this episode, Leslie will share with us the  mission of SaviaGuate and how much she enjoys  bringing the story behind each artisan craft to light and through that she continues to empower the indigenous people of Guatemala while raising overall awareness of this beautiful country rich in creativity and color.
