In this episode of The Finding Purpose Podcast, Adam sits down with Maria Camila Medina—a Colombian-born entrepreneur, beauty queen, and the founder of MCM Marketing Firm. Her journey is one of resilience, reinvention, and unwavering faith.

Camila moved to the U.S. at age 12, navigating culture shock, language barriers, and bullying while holding on to the deep family roots that shaped her. After earning a marketing degree and spending over a decade in car sales, she faced a devastating season of labor abuse that led to depression and financial struggle. But instead of letting it define her, Camila found purpose in starting over.

In 2023, alongside her husband, she launched MCM Marketing, a bilingual digital agency helping brands grow through social media, SEO, and smart strategy. At the same time, she’s built a platform that reflects her multidimensional story: crowned Reina Latina, author, advocate, and now soon-to-be mother.

This conversation explores how faith, humility, and courage can turn even the darkest seasons into fuel for growth. From infertility struggles to cyberbullying, from corporate burnout to entrepreneurial rebirth—Camila’s story is proof that purpose is found in persistence and perspective.

🎙️ In this episode, we explore:

  • Growing up in Colombia and the challenges of immigrating to the U.S. at age 12

  • Facing bullying, identity struggles, and therapy as a path to strength

  • Overcoming labor abuse in the car industry and finding resilience in hardship

  • The birth of MCM Marketing and her vision to empower brands bilingually

  • Competing and winning Reina Latina amidst personal challenges

  • Infertility, pregnancy, and what motherhood means to her journey of purpose

  • Why faith, humility, and mentorship have been cornerstones of her growth

This episode is a reminder that even when life breaks you down, purpose can rebuild you stronger.
