People say, "Do what you love, and you'll never work a day." For some entrepreneurs, it's even bigger than that; realizing their business is their true purpose feels like throwing a party every day. 

In this episode, Lucy Thompson-Ramirez joins us to talk about entrepreneurship, hard work, courage, and the rewarding sensation of leaving imposter syndrome behind and chasing our dreams. Lucy is the Co-owner of Pez Cantina, a restaurant that combines Lucy's Mexican culinary roots with her husband Bret's refined chef skills. Daughter of Mexican immigrants, her mom a factory worker and her dad a welder by trade, Lucy tried the academic route and got a Bachelor's degree in Sociology. While studying, Lucy discovered she was good at running a business, so right after she graduated from college, she made a life-changing decision.

Throughout our conversation, you'll hear about Lucy's upbringing, her parents' influence and support, and how she started in business. You'll also hear about her time in the fashion industry, her first steps in the restaurant business, her decision to go after her dreams and ignore her imposter syndrome, and much more. 

Tune in to Episode 156 of Amiga, Handle Your Shit, listen to Lucy's story, and you'll probably discover that that big decision you want to make isn't as scary as it looks.
