148. The Courage to Create Your Own Path with Trinnette Faint
Trinnette Faint is a writer, award-winning actress, model, author, and creative entrepreneur whose work spans storytelling, filmmaking, and community building. She is the founder of Floor 51 Productions and Chez Faint, and the author of two novels, Collette’s Caleb and MidCoast Star. A lifelong creative with a dynamic, multidisciplinary career, Trinnette is committed to telling bold, emotionally resonant stories that center women living fully, freely, and on their own terms. Her career reflects a blend of artistry, reinvention, and deep self-trust. Most recently, Trinnette wrote, produced, co-directed, and stars in her short film Party Pants—a sharp, heartfelt exploration of aging, identity, and the expectations placed on women. The film has already earned her the Best Actress award from the Berlin Indie Film Festival and continues to position her as a storyteller offering depth, humor, and a refreshing honesty about the realities of womanhood. In my conversation with Trinette, she takes us through her nonlinear journey—from navigating racism and impossible beauty standards as a model in the 80s fashion world, to working as Matt Damon’s assistant, to building a career in photography, writing, and ultimately filmmaking. Her story is a masterclass in staying open, following your curiosity, and allowing one experience to lead to the next—even when the outcome doesn’t look like what you could have imagined. We explore the power of saying yes, what it’s like when things don’t unfold they way you planned, and the magic that emerges when you refuse to let rejection define you. Trinnette shares how leaving a toxic tech job, surviving personal loss, and investing in herself—financially, emotionally, and creatively—led her to reclaim her voice and step fully into her artistry in her fifties. For any woman who has ever questioned her path, felt “behind,” or wondered whether it’s too late to begin again, this episode offers both grounding and revelation: you can choose differently at any time. Trinnette’s journey is powerful reminder that the life you’re meant to live often sits on the other side of a single brave step. -SHOW NOTES- GET ARIVEE’S BOOK: Grab your FREE Boundary Toolkit: 3 Proven Strategies to Reclaim Your Time, Boost Your Energy and Feel in Control in just 7 Days. for inspiration, motivation, and actionable strategies from Arivee in your inbox.

147. How to Escape the Burnout Trap - Michelle Niemeyer

147. How to Escape the Burnout Trap - Michelle Niemeyer
In this episode, I talk with Michelle Niemeyer—speaker, coach, and former attorney—about how high achievers can work with their energy instead of against it. After more than 30 years in law, running her own firm, and serving in public office, Michelle faced a rare autoimmune diagnosis that forced her to slow down and rethink everything about success, productivity, and well-being. That turning point led her to create The Art of Bending Time, a framework that helps professionals stay sharp and successful without sacrificing their health or joy. Michelle now helps leaders and teams prevent burnout, strengthen focus, and find sustainable ways to thrive. In this conversation, we get real about what burnout actually is (and isn’t), why overworking isn’t the same as achieving, and how to shift from constant doing to intentional, energized flow. What You’ll Learn: How to recognize burnout before it breaks you – The subtle signs high performers often miss, like losing joy in your work, feeling detached, or resenting what once lit you up. How to make flow your time multiplier – The health, rest, and mindset shifts that help you do in two focused hours what used to take two distracted days. How to protect your focus and your hours – Simple, realistic ways to eliminate distractions, reduce “time sucks,” and reclaim your creative or billable energy. How to rebuild joy on purpose – Using Michelle’s clarity exercise and daily “wins” practice to retrain your mind to notice what’s good, fuel motivation, and reconnect with what makes you feel alive. If you are a lawyer at a law firm or a professional in a very high pressure environment, please pay close attention to what Michelle shares. Listen twice if you need to.

In this episode I brought in Alejandra Rojas—a finance expert and founder, certified TRAUMA OF MONEY™ practitioner, and founder of Brown Way To Money, who is on a mission to advocate for women's voices in reclaiming their financial narratives so they can achieve financial independence.

145. Honoring Your Season: Friendship, Growth, and Letting Go of the Chase
In this conversation, I sit down with two of my besties and fellow Boston College alumni, Carla Breton and Diana Isern. They joined the podcast (episodes 65 and 66: Women Sharing Life Lessons) a few years ago, and they’re back! We’ve been with each other for years through careers, motherhood, creative work, and everything in between—and this conversation felt like being back at one of our retiros/retreats. There’s plenty of laughter and fun, and there’s real talk about what life has been like for us. We talk about what it really looks like to chase your dreams and honor your values & your season of life, while parenting and growing as people. How do you know when to say yes or no to opportunities? How do you tell the difference between resistance and a true need for rest? How do you keep showing up for your passions, even when life feels full? How do you really stop the productivity chase and focus on being in the process? We discuss the importance of friendship, community, and family— and the resourcefulness of our Latino culture. This conversations reminded me how powerful it is to grow alongside people who really know you—the ones who’ve seen every version of you and still call you higher. It’s about friendship that holds you accountable and gives you grace. I hope this episode feels like a reminder that you don’t have to rise alone—and that the best kind of success is the one rooted in connection, joy, and staying true to yourself.

144. Redefining Success with Yesenia Bello

144. Redefining Success with Yesenia Bello
Born in the Dominican Republic and raised in NYC, Yesenia Bello helps professionals redefine success. Her 22-year career in media at companies like NBCUniversal, Hulu, Google, and iHeartMedia taught her the corporate world from the inside out. But it was a personal battle with burnout in 2018 that reshaped her definition of success. She now believes that well-being is paramount to a fulfilling career. Her mission is to empower individuals and teams to reconnect with their purpose and bring love and compassion back to the workplace. This is where The ‘Mujeres Create’ Podcast comes in. It's her creative playground and a vital part of her purpose, where she fosters meaningful conversations that empower women to embrace their creativity, push boundaries, and create a life that reflects their unique dreams. At the heart of everything she does is a fierce commitment to helping people reconnect with themselves, activate their purpose, and thrive—in work and in life. In this episode, Yesenia shares her journey from the Dominican Republic to becoming a successful professional in media and tech. We talk about her career and the pressure you feel when you’re the first to have a corporate career in your family – the pressure to push through, keep going even if it’s not what you want anymore or it’s not sustainable anymore. Yesenia walks us through the pivotal decision to leave her corporate job to pursue a path more in alignment with her well-being and her purpose. She opens up about her experience with burnout and the health challenges she faced, including developing rheumatoid arthritis and undergoing a partial hysterectomy, and how these experiences led to her embracing holistic wellness and her mission to support Black and Brown women on their own wellness and career journeys.

143. Breaking Free from the Golden Handcuffs
Have you ever found yourself asking, “Is this really it?” You’ve built the career, earned the salary, gained the title—and yet, something feels missing. Or maybe you’re exhausted, running on empty, and realizing you can’t keep going like this. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a role that no longer excites or fulfills you, this episode is for you. I’m breaking down four of the most common limiting beliefs that keep high-achieving women in jobs that drain them: The Golden Handcuffs (“I can’t afford to walk away from this salary and lifestyle.”) The Sunk Cost Fallacy (“I’ve worked so hard for this. I can’t throw it all away now.”) The Identity Trap (“This is who I am—the lawyer, the executive, the achiever.”) The Perfectionist’s Paralysis (“I can’t make a move unless I know it will work out.”) These beliefs may have fueled your success, but they can also keep you stuck in cycles that no longer serve you. In this episode, I share stories, coaching insights, and reflection questions to help you begin loosening their grip so you can make space for what you truly want.

142. Finding Your Path with Yeve Chitiga
In this episode of the podcast, Arivee sits down with Yeve Chitiga, a lawyer and executive coach to women lawyers. Over the last 18 years, through her internal audit and legal experience, Yeve has honed a unique ability to discover what is hidden beneath the surface and hear the unspoken. She began her professional career in banking working for international institutions in the U.S. and in the United Kingdom. As an attorney, Yeve rose through the ranks to Counsel at the law firm of WilmerHale before pivoting to a late stage financial technology startup. Yeve is also a workshop facilitator, moderator and experienced speaker with a gift for captivating audiences. Through her blend of wit and warmth she delivers thought-provoking speeches that resonate with diverse audiences. Her gift for storytelling extends into literature as a published children’s book author. She has also been featured in as a Black woman redefining entrepreneurship. In this conversation, Yeve shares her personal journey from the legal profession to becoming a coach, emphasizing the unique challenges faced by women in law. Arivee and Yeve discuss the societal and professional conditioning that influences women's career choices and self-worth, and the importance of unlearning these limiting beliefs. The conversation delves into strategies for navigating career transitions, finding fulfillment, and the concept of self-worth as an innate quality rather than one tied to achievements. They also discuss motherhood in the context of being a high achiever as a lawyer, the attachment to parts of our identities, and what enoughness means for high-achievers where nothing feels like it’s ever good enough.

141. How Workplace Culture Is Really Built—And Where We Go Wrong with Adriana Vaccaro
Adriana Vaccaro is the founder and CEO of Culture Redesigned, a data-driven culture and change management consulting company. With a deep expertise in people analytics, organizational behavior, and leadership development, Adriana helps businesses build high-performance cultures that drive engagement, innovation, and sustainable growth. She was born in Colombia and currently lives in Massachusetts with her husband and three sons. In this episode, Adriana Vaccaro shares her journey from Colombia where she was born and raised and had her career, to coming to the U.S. and working as a Human Resources executive and eventually starting her firm, Culture Redesigned. We explore what it takes to create workplaces where people feel recognized and supported–not just in theory but through daily behaviors and leadership practices. We dive into organizational culture, and Adriana’s unique approach to measuring and improving culture through assessments that identify four levels of culture: from fixed and reactive, to evolving, and empowered. We talk about why one-off culture or DEI events fail to create lasting change, how direct managers shape team climate more than any program or policy, and the importance of trust, psychological safety, and meaningful relationships at work. She provides valuable insights and practical advice for leaders on how to cultivate a healthy work environment, the significance of introspection, and the importance of knowing oneself as a leader. This conversation is essential for anyone stewarding culture in their team or organization—or simply aspiring to work in a space that feels aligned, humane, and inspired.

136. You Got What You Wanted — Why Are You Still Restless?
In this episode of The Humble Rising Podcast, host Arivee Vargas delves into the concept of hedonic adaptation—the brain's tendency to normalize even the most positive changes in our lives, leading to a sense of restlessness or dissatisfaction despite external success. She explores why achieving milestones like promotions or new homes may not bring lasting fulfillment and offers three strategies to counteract this phenomenon: Reignite inspiration: Identify activities or interests that energize you beyond productivity. Redefine "enough": Establish personal benchmarks for success that align with your current values and season of life. Expand your identity: Recognize and embrace aspects of yourself beyond professional titles and achievements. Arivee emphasizes that feeling unfulfilled doesn't indicate failure but may signal a need for realignment with one's evolving self. She encourages listeners to gently disrupt autopilot modes and reconnect with what truly brings joy and meaning. For more insights and resources, visit or follow Arivee on LINKEDIN or Instagram at .

134. Burnout Isn’t Always Loud: 5 Subtle Signs You’re Running on Empty

134. Burnout Isn’t Always Loud: 5 Subtle Signs You’re Running on Empty
Most high-achieving women don’t realize they’re burning out until it’s too late—because burnout isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s quiet. It creeps in while you're still performing, still holding it all together, still showing up for everyone else… except yourself. In this episode, I share 5 subtle signs of burnout that many women—especially women of color—overlook or dismiss. These are the signs I missed in myself years ago. These are the same patterns I now see in the powerhouse lawyers and corporate leaders I coach. We’ll talk about: Why numbness, not exhaustion, might be your biggest red flag How your “low tolerance” isn’t a personality flaw—it’s a signal The burnout-success paradox: when productivity is high but fulfillment is low What your body is trying to tell you (that your brain keeps ignoring) The internal voice whispering “I should…” and why it’s draining your energy You’ll also get 3 powerful self-reflection questions you can use right now to reconnect with your body, your truth, and your boundaries—before burnout forces you to stop. If you’ve been feeling off but can’t quite name it… If you’re crushing your goals but feel increasingly disconnected… If you’re tired of carrying it all in silence... This conversation is for you.

130. Does Your Work Provide All Your "Self Worth"?
03/01/2025
130. Does Your Work Provide All Your "Self Worth"?
This week, we examine why many high-achieving women tie their self-worth to their professional achievements. Work offers a sense of control, validation, and instant gratification that can feel more manageable than the uncertainty of relationships, personal growth, or other areas of life. Over time, this reliance on work for self-esteem can turn into a coping mechanism, leaving women caught in a cycle of overworking to feel competent and valued. This pattern creates a range of challenges, from struggling to be present with loved ones to constantly chasing the next accomplishment without ever feeling truly fulfilled. It can also amplify harsh self-criticism, making even minor setbacks at work feel like personal failures. As work takes up more mental and emotional space, many women find themselves disconnected from who they are outside of their careers, unsure of what brings them joy or purpose beyond their professional identity. Breaking this cycle isn’t about giving up ambition—it’s about expanding the definition of success to include health, relationships, and personal fulfillment. By setting healthy boundaries, redefining self-worth, and embracing the discomfort of growth outside of work, women can begin to reclaim their sense of self. With support, self-reflection, and intentional action, it’s possible to build a life where worth isn’t tied to productivity, but to the whole, multifaceted person you are.

129. Vanessa Schwippert: The Power of Self-Care & Pivoting with Purpose
In this episode, I sit down with Vanessa Schwippert to explore breaking free from the stuck mindset, what it means to really take care of yourself, and finding your own true path. Vanessa is a first-generation Colombian-American woman dedicated to empowering others through education, storytelling, and community building. After years of teaching in intentionally underserved communities, she shifted her focus to creating safe spaces for women, particularly Latinas. Vanessa is the creator and host of Chick Lit, a podcast where she does book reviews, encouraging women to decenter men and prioritize their own fulfillment. In addition to her podcast, Vanessa founded the Latina Writing Comunidad, a vibrant space for Latinas who are breaking barriers, embracing passions, and sharing their stories. With a deep commitment to fostering supportive environments where creativity, culture, and empowerment intersect, Vanessa continues to inspire and uplift those around her, challenging traditional norms and redefining the role of women in our personal lives and beyond. In our conversation, Vanessa opens up about her journey from being a special education teacher and the challenges she experienced to becoming the force behind the Chick Lit podcast and Latina Writing Comunidad. She shares how taking a seven-month sabbatical (with therapy and very intentional self-care) changed everything for her. Whether you're stuck in a job that doesn't light you up or is burning you out, feeling pressure to live up to others' expectations, or simply craving more authenticity in your life, this conversation is your permission slip to pause and redirect. Through honest stories and practical wisdom, Vanessa shows us how listening to our gut, embracing change, and building meaningful communities can transform not just our own lives, but the lives of others too. This episode is perfect for anyone ready to stop putting everyone else first and start creating a life that actually feels like you.

If you've ever felt like something inside you has shifted, or that your success doesn't feel quite the same anymore, this episode is for you. I break down exactly who I wrote this book for (spoiler: those of us navigating big life transitions!), share the three most powerful takeaways that had my fellow coach saying "yes!" and tell a surprising story about how the book is creating bridges of understanding I never expected. I’m sharing: The real scoop on who needs this book right now - especially if you're a professional (particularly women of color and moms) feeling that internal whisper saying "something's different" and wondering what's next. Three game-changing insights that my fellow coach loved: why choosing to "do nothing" is still a choice, the truth about actual survival mode versus the pressure we put on ourselves, and the simple but powerful truth about where all real change begins. A beautiful reminder of how sharing our authentic stories can create unexpected connections - told through the eyes of a reader who couldn't be more different from my target audience but found deep value in the book.

125. The Gratitude Trap: How to Be Thankful Without Staying Stuck
Gratitude is a powerful tool for joy and growth, but what happens when we use it against ourselves to invalidate and dismiss our desire for growth or change? In this episode of The Humble Rising Podcast, we explore the ways gratitude can unintentionally become a weapon we use to invalidate our feelings, suppress our desires, and keep ourselves stuck in situations we’ve outgrown. While practicing gratitude has undeniable benefits—like reducing anxiety, improving resilience, and even boosting physical health—it’s essential to understand that gratitude and the desire for change can coexist. You don’t have to choose between appreciating what you have and striving for something more. Join me as we break down: The toxic side of “just be grateful” advice and how it impacts our emotions How to balance gratitude with personal growth and ambition Three actionable strategies to escape the gratitude trap and embrace a mindset of abundance and possibility If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more or silenced your dreams with “I should be grateful,” this episode is for you.
