The Big Talk with Tricia Brouk

The Power of Pursuing Your Unconventional Dream with Gracia Sotomayor


Listen Later

Today, I'm joined by Gracia Sotomayor, an inspiring speaker, author, artistic cyclist, and graduate of The Big Talk Academy.

Born in Lima, Peru, Gracia discovered artistic cycling through a magazine photo and was captivated by the concentration and control required. With no resources available in Spanish, she taught herself and eventually moved to Germany to master the sport. She has competed in the UCI Cycling World Championships and became the first person to translate the official rulebook into Spanish.

As an ambassador for artistic cycling, Gracia has promoted the sport across Latin America and been featured in international media. Through her speaking, she shares how embracing inner power, taking unconventional paths, and helping others can lead to personal transformation and lasting impact.

In this episode, we'll explore:

  • Why allowing yourself to feel your emotions fully builds self-trust

  • The importance of sharing your story and how it opens doors for others

  • Building genuine connections through being authentically yourself

  • How to trust that you're capable of doing something rather than playing the underdog or diminishing yourself

  • Her current favorites: Book: What's Your Dream, Speaker: Coach Stormy, and Podcast: A Bit of Optimism
