No one is above you. No one is below you. I’ve worked with CEOs of large corporations and people right out of college. You know what they all had in common? They all had insecurities. We might be traversing through a different context, in a different identity. But at the end of the day, we all struggle with comparison from time to time.
“How does everyone have it together, except for me?” We’ve all asked ourselves this question at some point. Especially now, with social media as such a huge cornerstone in our lives, comparison can feel inescapable. You know what I think the antidote is? Vulnerability.
Most people aren’t opening up about their struggles online. Every time we’re scrolling through Instagram, it’s a highlight reel. But what happens when you open up about more than the highlights? It can feel scary, but people really rally together. Suddenly, people start coming out of the woodwork to say “I’ve experienced that too!”
We can empower each other by inviting each other into our stories. The ultimate act of care can only come when people know you need it. Stop comparing your behind-the-scenes with others' highlights, to honor your own pace and individuality, and to recognize that everyone is navigating similar struggles.

Has uncertainty ever disappointed you? Sure, uncertainty can scare you. Uncertainty can confuse you. But after you’ve waded through the waters on uncertainty, have you ever come out on the other side disappointed? I asked a client this question recently. You know what she said? No. Uncertainty has always allowed the universe to surprise me.
There are times in our lives when we think we know exactly what we want and exactly how to get there. But I’d argue that we’re often perpetuating past experiences when we feel this way. Uncertainty comes along when we start to pave a new path. This doesn’t mean it’s suddenly a fun experience to be uncertain. But it’s important not to bypass uncertainty in an effort to feel more comfortable.
So many people are living their lives trying to dodge discomfort and uncertainty at every turn. But if we really dig into our wildest dreams, do we think we can get there without uncertainty? I definitely don’t think I could. I look up to people in my life who dove head first into uncertainty. For example, my mother left Cuba with absolutely no certainty that it would work out. But I wouldn’t have the life I’m living today if she refused to accept uncertainty.

When you find yourself repeating unhelpful patterns, do the opposite of what you want to do. This advice might sound like it goes against so much of our programming. We’re always told “be yourself” and “trust your gut.” And those things are still true! But sometimes, our body wants to take the path of least resistance, even if it won’t help us grow.
With the birth of my child approaching, I’ve been thinking a lot about abundance and trying to cultivate as much abundance as possible. As a business owner, the thoughts of “how am I going to continue growing me business and a child!?” definitely come up regularly. I’m sure you have your own limiting beliefs that bring that scarcity mindset into play.
As one example of a way to break the pattern, I recently hopped off of a call and felt that sense of lack closing in. When I’ve felt this in the past, I’ve doubled down on work! But this time, I asked myself “what would abundant Yanet do?” And that led me to an unplanned coffee date with a friend that put me back in giving mode versus receiving. It’s not always our first instincts that are the most expansive. So I hope you walk away from this episode feeling encouraged to challenge yourself next time you slip into a scarcity mindset!

When you become a mother, you start asking yourself “what am I modeling for my child?” Would I want my child to pick up this habit of not taking care of herself? Today’s guest found herself in this exact position one day as she dropped her baby off at daycare. Suddenly, she could see how numb and muted she was becoming. That’s when she reached out to me for coaching!
Today, I’m chatting with a coaching client that just so happens to be a close friend from college as well! She’s passionate about serving people and inspiring women, especially women of color, to heal and take charge. We’re talking about the defining moment of becoming a mother. Nilka’s experience as a working woman who did not have a ton of familial support around her is incredibly inspiring!
We’re talking about what happens when you, as a mother, try to pretend like you’re the same person you were before having a child. And then we’re digging into exactly how Nilka worked through that difficult transition back into authenticity. For Nilka, the transformation started when she realized that she wanted to model a different way for her child. I can’t wait for you to hear more about Nilka and the book she’s writing titled “Muted,” dedicated to all of the women out there that are learning to live out loud!

Your daily routine is the armor you put on at the beginning of the day. Now, I know a lot of people struggle with implementing a daily routine. So today, we’re digging into the how and why behind your daily routine.
If you think about it, the days that have no semblance of routine at all can often feel directionless and out of control. By giving ourselves small, achievable, repeatable habits to come back to, we’re setting ourselves up for success in the day to day.
Don’t feel pressured to make this a morning routine! We all operate on different schedules and we can course correct if we don’t get to it in the morning. I definitely recommend a solid morning routine so that you can put on your armor at the beginning of the day. But we just want to ritualize our experience to enhance our day to day.
The number one thing we want to avoid is an “all-or-nothing” mentality. After all, building a new habit is all about resilience and getting back on track!

As high-achievers, we’re no strangers to discipline. But did you know that discipline without self-compassion just puts you in survival mode? So today, we’re diving into the question: how can we find the balance between discipline and self-compassion?
First, I want to reframe “falling off track.” So often, people look at falling off track as failure. But falling off track is part of the process of falling on track. If no one ever fell off track, we would all be perfect people. And that’s just not the world we live in. We’re living a life of experimentation and we must allow ourselves the experience of falling off track.
For me, this brings meditation to mind. I like to have a ritual of meditating every day. But if I let the fact that I missed one day mean that I’m a failure, I would never meditate again. Self-compassion is the key element that gives you resilience in new pursuits. And the best way to access self-compassion is by putting some distance from outside sources so we can connect to ourselves.
I hope you enjoy this episode and walk away feeling more grounded than before. If you did, please share the episode with a friend so we can grow this community together!

It can be so easy to get caught in the hamster wheel of life. We often forget to tap into abundance in the here and now! I remember hitting six figures in my business. For so long, that was the biggest goal. And guess what? As soon as I hit that goal, it was onto the next. Then, it became about hitting multiple six figures!
What makes a rich life? When I say rich, I’m not just talking about what’s in your bank. We really have to ask ourselves this question and think deeply about the pillars that might make up our rich life. For me, I think of three pillars that make up a rich life: health and wellness, family, and career. As women, I don’t think we’re conditioned to believe we can have it all.
If we commit to our family, we’re told we can’t have a successful career. If we commit to our career, we’re told we can’t have a family. Why do you think men aren’t so burdened with these choices? As women, we have to do some extra work to unlift these limiting beliefs and create the richest life possible.

If you feel resistance towards meditation, this episode is for you. I often hear people saying that meditation feels hard. They’re bogged down by racing thoughts and sitting with them feels like an uphill battle.
But here’s meditation is a non-negotiable for me: by the age of 35, 95% of who we are is a repeated pattern of past thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. So moving throughout the world without conscious awareness of our patterns can dramatically hold us back.
That’s why my husband and I meditate every day, with one or two exceptions here and there. In order to up level, you’ve got to Break the Habit of Being Yourself. So how can you move through the resistance that your body might feel to meditation?
The beauty of meditation is in the opportunity to take ourselves out of survival mode and transition into a creation state. What has you stuck in survival mode? This idea that meditation is too hard for you. Yes, it’s going to feel hard. But we can do hard things! In the process of doing what feels “unnatural” to you, you’ll become supernatural! This is how you create the life you deserve.
