Lorett Cuadra and Dhara Mistry join us to share their captivating journeys of transformation, proving that reinvention is not just possible but immensely rewarding. Lorett, who pivoted from a corporate career to founding Bombochiya, a luxury handbag boutique, and Dhara, who transitioned from an HR executive to an executive leadership coach, demonstrate the power of embracing change and pursuing new dreams. Their stories illuminate the challenges and triumphs of career pivots, particularly the societal perceptions of assertiveness in women and the unique challenges faced by first-generation women and women of color.

We explore the emotional rollercoaster of career transitions, from the setbacks faced when dreams like owning a resale shop are dashed, to the resilience required to rise again as a "momager" and luxury brand connector. The episode dives into personal anecdotes of overcoming imposter syndrome, a scam's financial fallout, and the resilience needed to pivot into a new professional chapter. The narratives highlight personal growth, the importance of community support, and the courage to stand against societal stereotypes.

Listeners are treated to insights on financial preparedness, setting personal boundaries, and aligning personal values with professional roles. The discussion also ventures into sustainable fashion, eco-friendly practices, and the world of luxury handbags, offering practical advice for those considering similar paths. This episode is a testament to empowerment and self-care, reminding us that it's never too late to rewrite our stories and embrace new beginnings.

After years of dedicating her life to others, Paula Fendley found herself yearning to reclaim her own identity and reignite her long-lost dreams. Join us as Alicia and Nicole have a heartfelt conversation with Paula, a seasoned transitional life coach, who shares her incredible journey from education to empowering women through life's many transitions. We uncover how women, particularly those over 40, can use tools like personality assessments to realign their lives with their deepest values and create a life they truly love.

Our discussion takes a soothing turn as we explore the world of self-care and healing. We dive into the magic of sound baths and the transformative power of musical frequencies in meditation, providing solace and clarity even in the wake of profound grief and loss. Discover how wellness practices can serve as a catalyst for managing emotions—anger management, boundary setting, and the art of nonviolent communication becomes vital lifelines for women, particularly those in prison, seeking sustainable change and support.

Relationships and self-love are intricately woven into our conversation, as we explore the balance of maintaining strong bonds while prioritizing self-care. The journey toward attracting healthier relationships through confidence and self-love is illuminated, challenging societal norms and embracing authenticity. We celebrate the importance of vibrant relationships and self-care, encouraging listeners to share their moments of self-love and join a supportive community that uplifts one another. Let's recognize that we all deserve to put ourselves first and embrace the joy of self-care without guilt.

When your Parents become a second Full-time Job!

Y'all, I've been on a hiatus, not from my making, but because life happens!

You all know that juggling the demands of family caregiving, work, and personal life requires resilience, and last April pushed me to the limit when my father underwent a surprise quadruple bypass surgery. This procedure pushed my caregiving responsibilities, showing something I talk a lot about, what being a part of the sandwich generation means.

I'm super grateful that I share the load with my sister and brothers, something that reminds me of the importance of a support system.

The emotional and physical challenges led me to think of self-care practices, not as luxuries but as lifelines. Non-negotiable routines like travel became essential for maintaining my balance amidst the chaos.

Amidst these trials, I'm launching a six-part series, "No Me Vengas Con Mamadas," focusing on empowerment and self-love. This is about reminding ourselves to prioritize personal needs and set boundaries to prevent burnout. Accepting no BS and only doing what we feel aligned to do!

I'm thrilled to introduce my co-host Nikki Lopez, a gifted hairstylist and creative partner, as we channel resilience into innovative projects. Together, we aim to inspire you to embrace self-care as a foundation for thriving amidst life’s challenges. Join us in this journey of passion and perseverance, and explore how we can all support each other in times of need.
