In this episode, we discuss the idea that success should be defined by you, not by societal expectations, family, friends, or employers. Society, family, friends, or employers can influence your definition of success, but it's up to you to determine what success looks like for you. Stepping into your power can be challenging when you have an image in your mind of what you think success should look like, but it's important to recognize that you can be successful just as you are. 

This episode explores the idea of being successful on your own terms and how this concept applies to people of color and children of immigrants. We delve into the idea that you don't need to live up to someone else's expectations and can create your own path to triumph.

In this episode, we delve into the importance of self-worth and self-confidence in making social change and having an impact on our communities. It's not uncommon for individuals, especially those who consider themselves "helpers," to struggle with asking for compensation for their efforts and instead focus on making a difference and leaving a legacy. However, having a strong sense of self-worth is crucial in propelling us forward and allowing us to tackle challenges head-on. 

We also hear from Latinx community members who share their perspectives on how Latino families often struggle to show validation to young people and the worthiness issues that arise as a result. Join us as we explore the impact of self-worth on manifesting our dream lives and making a positive difference in the world.
