She's navigated motherhood raising a confident and curious little boy, worked in the corporate world as a Business Analyst at Google, curated content on social media sharing Spanglish financial literacy for low income communities, invested in 2 short-term rental properties, and is now working on publishing her first novel.

Episode 253 features how to stop playing small, with Audrey Diaz, Co-Founder of The Dream Lab. We talk about how to stop playing small. Listen now!

Audrey Diaz is a Life & Confidence Coach with over 10 years of coaching experience helping Latina women build confidence in themselves by creating solid habits. Through her framework of developing daily disciplines for women to build out grounding techniques that nurture their mind, body, and soul, Audrey takes a holistic approach to ensure that her clients are thriving as a whole, and not just in the workplace.

Born of Dominican parents, Audrey understands first hand how daughters of immigrants are prone to struggle with indecision, setting boundaries, and finding their voice. The result is a client who is self-aware, self-confident, and able to trust herself and her vision for the future.

Life Coaching for Audrey was a result of her own evolution from years of marketing in the music industry to helping run her family’s three supermarkets, where she is still a partner today. She is also a mom of 3 boys and has recently picked up Salsa dancing on her free time, all of which keep her life full of joy.
