EP. 222: If You Want to Create Content But Don’t Want to Come Off Conceited
Ch*ngona Revolution
So many of my Courage Driven Latinas clients are loving the Visibility Challenge we’re working through right now, but that doesn’t mean that it’s been easy for them. In fact, a few fears have come up, and were preventing them from posting their content. It turns out they were afraid of being seen as conceited. This makes sense, especially for our community. We were always being told to worry about what other people will say and what other people will think of us. Being too visible has always been framed as a negative in our lives, but what if I told you that posting your...

EP. 221: How Personal Branding Creates Opportunities and Builds Social Capital (Even When You’re Not in the Room)
Ch*ngona Revolution
2026 is a new year, and it’s time to make some courageous changes in your life. So if you’ve been wanting to post on social media and build your personal brand, but you’re too afraid to post anything, you’re leaving opportunities on the table. Right now in the Courage Driven Latina program, we are working on being visible, and for a lot of people, that means posting on social media and building up their personal brand. They’re doing amazingly well right now, posting almost every single day to get used to it and seeing amazing results. But they weren’t posting before...

EP. 220: The Fear of Being Seen Isn’t Insecurity — It’s Cultural Conditioning
Ch*ngona Revolution
Many of my CDL clients are currently working on their fear of being seen. And as we talk through their feelings, I’m noticing that everyone is saying the same thing. This fear didn’t come from them; someone told them to be afraid of being seen. Now, it’s not always in those words. But if you were being told that calladita te ves mas bonita as a kid, you’re going to remember that during a brainstorming meeting at work and keep your ideas to yourself. And the blame for that is not necessarily on our parents - the blame is on the culture that perpetuates misogyny in our...

EP. 219: How to Keep Going, Even When It Seems Like Something Might Not Be Working
Ch*ngona Revolution
Your manifestations are not something you can Two Day ship to your house. They’re not a new top you need before your cousin’s birthday party. So why does it feel so discouraging when your manifestations don’t happen right away? It makes us feel like failures, even though we haven’t even had the time to fail yet. We have forgotten that great things take time. You need time to build momentum, get better at things, and get your reps in. Waiting feels like things are moving too slowly, like you're failing, but have you really even given your manifestations time to grow and...

EP. 218: The Secret to a Vision Board That Actually Works (Step-By-Step Process)
Ch*ngona Revolution
Not all vision boards are created equally. Some of them work, and they help you manifest everything you’ve ever wanted, and some don’t do anything. So why is it that some vision boards do work and others don’t? The truth is that a vision board is just like manifesting. There’s a formula that I use to get everything I want. That formula removes limiting beliefs and sets me up to take courageous action. The manifestation formula that I use can also be used to create vision boards, and this week, I’m going to share it with you! In this week’s episode, we’re...

EP. 216: End-of-Year Anxiety: What to Do When You’re Triggered, Tired, and Feeling Behind
Ch*ngona Revolution
The end of the year can make my clients feel like they didn’t do enough, like they failed, or like they’re never going to make their dreams come true. I get it, it’s a totally normal reaction to the end of the year. But stewing in these feelings is not going to help us manifest our most amazing lives. There’s no ignoring these feelings; we have to work through them in order to feel better. And that means facing them head-on and confronting your triggered self in order to help her. And we can do it, together. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about...

EP. 217: Steal My Manifestation Framework to Manifest Your Dream Life in 2026
Ch*ngona Revolution
Manifesting is technically a science. It’s a little bit of quantum physics, a little bit of psychology, and a lot of heart. You are the key to making your dreams come true. The first step to making those dreams a reality is identifying them. Many times, my clients have a general idea of what they want, but they don’t have the specifics. They know they want financial freedom and to start their own business, but they don’t know what they want to offer their customers. I help them figure that out in both the Courage Driven Latina and the Magnetic Mastermind programs, and we always...

EP. 213: 10 Questions to Ask Yourself Before 2026 If You're Tired of Hiding and Ready to Be Visible
Ch*ngona Revolution
As we close out the year, we naturally start thinking about everything we’ve accomplished and everything we still need to work on. And if you didn’t achieve all your goals, that’s ok! That’s what next year is for. For now, let’s organize our thoughts and reset our mindset. Because if you’re anything like me, there comes a point when you’re tired of hiding, and you’re ready to be more visible. That’s how I felt back in 2019, and now I have a successful business, a thriving podcast, and I’ve appeared on National television on multiple TV segments. It is possible,...
info_outlineWe tend to think of cycles in a negative light, like the cycles of abuse or the cycles of complacency. But there are also good cycles that can lead to even better outcomes than the ones you have now. Once you make a positive change in your life and stick with it, you create a new cycle that’s in alignment with what you want. The more you bet on yourself, the more results you’ll see and the more motivation you’ll have to show up for yourself. This is exactly what happened to this week’s guest, and we’re going to share her story with you on the Chingona Revolution Podcast.
Jazmin's name is pronounced "Yahsz-meen,” and she goes by Yaz. She was born & raised to Mexican immigrant parents, in Chicago’s Gage Park neighborhood, and has a deep commitment to social, economic, & racial justice for BIPOC communities. She works in data & evaluations at a nonprofit that prioritizes the organizational health and sustainability of small Black and Latinx-led organizations. She values mobilizing others to embrace their holistic selves & take action towards more aligned and empowering changes. She loves all things health & wellness, and inspiring others to explore their version of that for themselves. She creates social media content about her health and wellness journey, which currently includes yoga, caretaking of her 75+ plants, strength training, salsa dancing, getting out of her comfort zone, meeting new people, testing out simple and healthy food recipes, and connecting with other community-centered content creators in the city.
In this week’s episode, we’re talking to Jazmin Ocampo about how she went from perfectionism to purpose-driven. Through the Courage Driven Latina program, Jazmin was able to use the “Ghetto First Draft” to take messy action and launch her dream business. She knew she had to break the cycle of perfectionism to achieve her dreams. But she couldn’t do it if her perfectionism was going to keep getting in her way. With some coaching and commitment, Jaz has accomplished her goals and is on her way to setting new ones. Listen to Jaz’s episode to hear how she broke the cycle and started a brand new one.
