Ep 67- What if you have enough… but somehow, it never really feels like enough?

A scarcity mindset isn’t always about money. It can show up in the way we think about time, opportunities, relationships, our own abilities, and even how much we allow ourselves to enjoy what we already have.

In this episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, we’re exploring the difference between a scarcity mindset and an abundance mindset—and why focusing on what we lack can sometimes become such a powerful lens through which we experience our lives.

We’ll talk about the psychology of scarcity and the concept of “tunneling,” how gratitude can help widen our attention, why “not enough” can sometimes turn into “I’m not enough,” and the role generosity can play in living from a place of abundance.

Most importantly, this isn’t about pretending everything is perfect or ignoring real financial struggles, difficult circumstances, or things you genuinely need more of.

It’s about learning to recognize when lack has become the only thing you can see.

Because abundance isn’t believing you don’t need anything else.

It’s refusing to let what you don’t have erase what you do have.

If this episode makes you think of someone, share it with them. It may be a conversation they need too.

Ep 66- Some friends come into our lives and somehow become family.

They’re the people we can laugh with, disagree with, be completely ourselves around, and sometimes go months without talking to—yet when we reconnect, it feels like no time has passed.

But what actually makes a real friendship last?

In this episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, I’m exploring what genuine friendship really looks like—from emotional safety, trust, and acceptance to jealousy, comparison, boundaries, and those moments when a friendship simply doesn’t feel the same anymore.

I’m also sharing personal stories about the women I call my “sisters from different parents,” a lifelong friendship that has survived decades and distance, and some fascinating research about why strong social connections can matter to our health and well-being.

But this conversation isn’t only about the friends we choose. It’s also about turning the mirror toward ourselves and asking an important question:

Am I being the kind of friend I want to have?

A warm, honest conversation about real friendship, healthy relationships, meaningful connection, and the people who become part of the family we choose. 💜

Ep 65 - September 11, 2001, is a day the world will never forget.

For my family, it is also the day my son was born.

Twenty-five years later, I’m sharing a story I have carried very close to my heart — one about joy, heartbreak, memory, love, and what it means to hold two completely different truths at the same time.

In this deeply personal episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, I take you back to that day, to what was happening inside our hospital room while the world outside was changing, and to the emotions my husband and I were carrying in ways I only fully understood years later.

We’ll also talk about flashbulb memories, why certain moments stay so vivid in our minds, and how some days can hold more than one story.

And toward the end, I share a message directly with my son — something I’ve wanted him to know about the day he came into this world.

This episode is about honoring what happened without shrinking the joy that was also present.

About remembering.

About compassion.

And about allowing two truths to exist side by side.

Because sometimes adversity and joy don’t take turns.

Sometimes they arrive together.

Ep 64: Why People Lie and Believe Their Own Lie

Have you ever caught someone in a lie, confronted them, and heard “I never said that” — with zero hesitation, zero guilt? This episode breaks down the psychology of lying and self-deception, and why some people don’t just lie to others — they lie to themselves until they actually believe it.

We’re diving into the science of memory and lying, how repeating a false story can rewrite your own memory, and how to spot it in the people around you — a sibling, a partner, a coworker who always has a different excuse. You’ll also learn why confronting a lie often turns into gaslighting, and how to protect your peace when you can’t win that argument.

But this episode isn’t just about “that person” in your life. It’s about turning the mirror around and asking: what story have I told myself, so many times, that I stopped questioning it?

Tune in for the psychology of self-deception, real-life examples, and a simple tool to catch yourself before the story becomes the truth.

Your mindset is not just what you think, it’s where your power begins.

Ep 63 —What do you do when everything in you is saying, I don’t want to do this anymore?

Maybe you’re exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed, or questioning whether continuing is even worth it. In those moments, quitting can feel like the answer.

But is it?

In this episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, we’re talking about what resilience actually looks like when you’re right in the middle of the struggle — not afterward, when everything makes sense.

I’ll share a personal story from a time in my life when I felt completely behind, overwhelmed, and seriously questioned whether I could keep going. Looking back now, I can see that something much bigger was being built during those difficult moments — even though I couldn’t see it at the time.

We’ll also explore why your brain can sometimes confuse relief with the right decision, why we tend to “quit tomorrow today,” and a simple practical strategy you can use when your mind starts jumping too far ahead.

And we’ll talk about the other side of resilience too — those much heavier seasons of loss, adversity, uncertainty, and unexpected life changes, when simply getting through what’s in front of you can require enormous strength.

Because building resilience isn’t about becoming unstoppable or never wanting to quit.

It’s about learning how to navigate hard moments, trust yourself when you don’t have all the answers, and keep taking the next step — one moment at a time.

If you’re facing a challenge, struggling with self-doubt, feeling overwhelmed, or simply want to build mental strength and resilience for the difficult moments life inevitably brings, this episode is for you. 💙

Episode 62: You Don’t Know Your Limits Until You Test Them

Most people have no idea what their limits are — until they actually test them.

We spend years deciding how far we can go, how much we can handle, and where our talent stops — without ever checking if any of it is true. In this episode, I break down the real difference between a genuine limitation and one we simply assumed, and why so many of us quit before we ever find out what’s actually possible.

I also share a personal story about the moment I decided to stop assuming and finally test one of my own limits — and what I discovered about myself the second I actually tried.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

•Why “I’m not good at this” is usually an assumption, not a fact

•The real difference between a genuine limitation and a limit you’ve never tested

•A simple 3-step method — Name It, Test It, Track It — to find out what’s actually true about your potential

•Why an awkward or difficult test still counts as real progress

•How small, specific action builds lasting self-confidence, backed by what psychologists call a mastery experience.

If you’ve been telling yourself “this isn’t for me” about something — a conversation, an idea, a goal, a whole new season of your life — this episode will show you how to find out for sure, instead of just assuming.

Your mindset is not just what you think. It’s where your power begins.

Ep 61 - Have you ever wondered why your mind can feel impossible to quiet down?

Maybe it happens at night, when you’re exhausted but the moment your head hits the pillow, your thoughts start racing. Or maybe it happens when you’re facing something new — a new job, a difficult conversation, a big transition, or anything that pushes you outside your comfort zone.

Suddenly, the doubts get louder. You start imagining everything that could go wrong. You question whether you can handle it. And sometimes, the discomfort becomes so strong that the easiest answer seems to be avoiding it altogether.

But what if your brain isn’t broken?

What if it’s simply running an old program — one it has learned and reinforced over time?

In this episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, we’re going to explore the science behind why our brains respond this way, how repeated thoughts and behaviors can become automatic patterns, and something incredibly hopeful: your brain can continue to change.

I’ll show you why doing the hard thing while it still feels uncomfortable can be such an important part of building a stronger mindset — and why every small step gives your brain new evidence about what you’re capable of.

We’ll also talk about something I call the deficit report: our tendency to finish the day remembering everything we did wrong while barely acknowledging everything we actually handled, learned, or accomplished. And I’ll share a simple practice you can use to start changing that.

Plus, if nighttime is when your mind gets the loudest, I’ll share a few science-backed strategies that have made a real difference for me in turning down that mental noise before sleep.

This episode isn’t about becoming fearless, eliminating every anxious thought, or pretending that difficult things suddenly become easy.

It’s about understanding your brain differently.

It’s about learning that discomfort doesn’t always mean stop.

And it’s about discovering that confidence is often built after we take the step, not before.

Because every time you do something difficult while part of you wants to back away, you’re giving your brain another experience to learn from.

Another rep. Another piece of evidence. Another opportunity to change the old program.

Your brain isn’t broken, my friend.

It’s still learning. 💙💪

Why do some people keep moving forward through life’s hardest moments… while others feel completely stuck?

Fear is something every one of us experiences. But fear doesn’t have to make our decisions.

In this heartfelt episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, we explore why fear can keep us trapped in self-doubt, limiting beliefs, and resistance—and how shifting your mindset can help you see new possibilities, even when life feels uncertain.

Through personal stories, practical mindset insights, and one unforgettable true story of a mother who faced every parent’s worst nightmare, you’ll discover that courage isn’t about living without fear. It’s about refusing to let fear have the final say.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why two people can experience the same challenge and respond in completely different ways

• How childhood experiences and limiting beliefs quietly shape the way we see ourselves and the world

• Why fear often feels so convincing—and how to stop letting it control your decisions

• How to recognize the difference between a scarcity mindset and a possibility mindset

• Simple ways to begin choosing hope, possibility, and action, even before fear disappears

If you’ve been feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to take the next step, I hope this conversation reminds you that your circumstances don’t have to define your future.

Sometimes the biggest transformation begins with one decision…

to keep moving forward anyway.

What if the perspective you’ve been searching for is already waiting for you?

In this episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, I invite you to experience a simple but powerful exercise that has helped both me and many of my coaching clients navigate uncertainty with greater perspective and peace of mind.

If you’ve been overthinking a decision, questioning your next step, or feeling stuck in a season of life that seems difficult to navigate, this conversation is for you.

Together, we’ll explore why our minds tend to magnify today’s problems, how shifting your perspective can change the way you move through life’s challenges, and why clarity and confidence are often created through action—not before they arrive.

This episode isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about changing the way you see the present.

Because sometimes, the fastest way to move forward is to borrow the perspective of the person you’re becoming.

I hope this conversation leaves you with a renewed sense of possibility and the courage to take your next step.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup gave us unforgettable goals, incredible talent and plenty of heartbreak. But some of its most powerful moments happened away from the scoreboard.

In this episode of Your Mindset, Your Power, Mariela reflects on the stories that made this World Cup feel much bigger than football: Colombian fans comforting a young Uzbekistan supporter, Cape Verde making history, goalkeeper Vozinha proving that possibility has no expiration date, Raúl Jiménez returning to the world stage after a life-threatening injury, and fans from around the world celebrating together in the streets and stadiums.

Through humor, emotion and her own experience as a Colombian football fan married to an Argentinian, Mariela explores what the World Cup reminded us about unity, empathy, perseverance and belonging.

We do not have to become the same to connect. We can be proud of our own colors while still making room for someone else’s.

Different stories. Different jerseys. Same humanity.
