What does it actually take to step into your power? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Alexis Meruelo — second-generation Cuban-American business leader, founder of the Business of Her conference, and author of the brand new book Getting You Ready for Power — to talk about the real, messy, beautiful process of finding your purpose and owning it unapologetically. We're getting into her family's entrepreneurial roots, why she spent six months with a career coach just to answer one question, the concept of \"business karma,\" and why more women need to stop self-rejecting before they even ask. This one is packed, mi gente. Let's get into it.
