You know the good girl. She follows the rules, makes everybody proud, does everything she's supposed to do. She is me, and I have a feeling she might be you too. This episode was inspired by a recent keynote I gave in California, and I'm bringing it to the podcast because we don't talk about this enough: what it actually costs you to keep playing by everyone else's rules. We're going deep on the cultural conditioning that keeps women — especially Latinas — playing small, the moment I got laid off at 27 and felt relief instead of grief, and the solo trip to Puerto Rico that completely rearranged my life.
If you've ever felt the tension between who you are and who you've been expected to be, this one is for you.
WE GET INTO:
The question you need to sit with: has your ambition ever felt like too much?
Growing up in a Latino household where stability was the whole plan
Getting laid off at 27 — and why it felt like freedom, not failure
Why entrepreneurship doesn't fit our cultural script (and why that's okay)
The conditioning that keeps women dimming their light
The lie we keep getting fed: that wanting more is selfish
My solo trip to Puerto Rico and the question that changed everything
Choosing alignment over approval — and what that actually looks like
Why being the first also means being the blueprint
