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. 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_outlineSo many of my clients feel trapped because of their financial situation. And it sucks because when you’re living from paycheck to paycheck, it’s hard to manifest a new life because you’re living in survival mode. There is, however, a way to break free from this feeling and finally manifest abundance. And we’re going to show you how to do it.

In this week’s episode, Evie and I talk about how she learned how to feel rich in courage. Before she joined Courage Driven Latina, she had already taken the steps to living a more courageous life by advocating for herself and negotiating her salary. The company that was paying her white male colleague twice as much as her only offered her an additional $1,000 annually.
Instead of internalizing or spiraling, Evie applied to other companies in her industry and almost doubled her salary through her negotiating skills. Money was tight, but she believed in herself and took smart, courageous actions anyway.
Tune in to hear how Evie is helping Latinas close the wealth gap and how you can learn how to negotiate your salary today!
