This episode is a personal recap of The Table We Built, my second international retreat for Reclamation clients—this time held in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico.

Unlike traditional business retreats, this wasn’t about jungle breathwork or hotel ballrooms.

It was about creating an intimate, intentional space that supported the whole human experience of women of color and daughters of immigrants.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on:

• Why we must start with intention—and how that single choice guided every decision I made
• What I learned from my first retreat that helped me simplify the second
• How environment, safety, and design all helped clients experience deeper breakthroughs
• The very real behind-the-scenes of managing my own energy as a host
• And how conversations around identity, safety, motherhood, and belonging unfolded naturally—without being on the “agenda”

If you’re a coach or leader dreaming about bringing people together in a way that feels human and healing—this one’s for you.

You know your offer works. Your clients get results. People refer you. So why isn’t it selling consistently?

In this episode, I break down 8 specific reasons why a proven offer might still feel hard to sell—especially if your leads are mostly coming from referrals or word of mouth instead of your own marketing.

These are the kinds of blind spots I coach my clients through all the time, and I’ve experienced them firsthand. Inside, I cover:

• Why “my audience just doesn’t get it” is usually a messaging issue
• How positioning your offer as a step beyond where your audience thinks they are can backfire
• The difference between helpful content and content that actually converts
• How to sell to the person who’s been silently creeping on your page for weeks
• Why storytelling-based social proof works better than testimonials—and how to use it
• Subtle ways we unintentionally create resistance with our audience (and what to do instead)

If you’ve been questioning your marketing or wondering whether you need to change your offer—this episode is your sign to pause and audit before you pivot.

Lately, I’ve been sitting with a question that so many of my clients—especially daughters of immigrants—are bringing to our sessions:

How do I show up for my business when I’m personally impacted by what’s happening to my community?

When ICE is conducting raids.

When people are being kidnapped out of their homes, workplaces, and off the streets—thrown into unmarked vehicles without due process.

When your nervous system is overwhelmed and your community is afraid.

This episode is a conversation about how I’m navigating that myself—and how I’m supporting my clients through it.

Because we don’t run our businesses in a vacuum. We do business on our phones, while our friends and families are being impacted in real time. And when the attacks on immigrants feel like an attack on us, it makes total sense that showing up in our business can feel… impossible.

Inside, I share:

• How I’m helping clients (and myself) discern: What do I need in order to show up?—instead of “how do I push through?”
• What it looks like to lead and support others when your own body is in fight-or-flight.
• Ways to tend to your nervous system so you don’t freeze or burn out while trying to stay informed and visible.
• How to stay connected to your community and purpose without abandoning yourself.

And when it feels especially hard to market your business in moments like this, I come back to this question:

Why does my business exist—and why does my message matter more than ever right now?

For me, the answer is this: Who controls your money, controls your voice.

That’s why I believe so deeply in daughters of immigrants building brands that are rooted in truth, identity, and self-determination. It’s not about selling—it’s about sovereignty.

This episode isn’t polished. I recorded it walking through my house, because that’s what my body needed in order to speak. But if you’re grieving, triggered, and trying to figure out how to keep showing up—this is for you.
