Whether you’ve been an entrepreneur a little or a long time, you’ve probably realized there are constant ups and downs. We can’t plan for every outcome and while that can be discouraging, it’s how we show up afterwards that keeps our momentum going forward. Sometimes our brilliant ideas aren’t actually all that great, and sometimes the mediocre ones are a success.
Get ready to take notes as I go over breaking down these results and how our efforts play into our successes. All of that and more in this week's episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas, ‘How to succeed in business by letting go of attachment'.
- We all fall on our booty’s - but what do you do after you get back up?

Are you part of the hustle and grind culture? I sure was, but after lots of personal work and serious boundaries I started challenging the belief systems I was raised in. I’m happy to say that I’ve adopted and fully embraced this new “anti-hustle” mentality. And I want to teach you exactly how you can achieve the same mindset and restructure your life around working smarter and not harder with strategy and confidence.
Do you struggle with thinking that you need to work more to make more? This week’s episode was inspired by a conversation I had with my brother about HOW we work. We were brought up with the same value systems within our family that has great pride in how hard we work - and boy did I work hard to get where I am. But when I felt like I had enough, that I had curated a business that fulfilled my needs: financial, family time, balance, boundaries - the challenge of this older school of thought momentarily shook me and I felt the need to justify my choices. Tune in to hear how I break down this often engrained mentality and how you can decide what works best for your life.
Main Topics
- How your personality and family history affect your views of work ethic
- Working a lot may be what you WANT… or not.
- You don’t need to justify your decisions about works best for you with anyone
- When the cost meets the value
- My mentor’s most priceless advice when it comes to how people perceive their investments
- Don't let your quality of life be affected by limiting beliefs.
- Burnout is real!
- Growth is individualized and it ripples out in the best way
- Be clear on what you want for you and what works for you
- My recipe for creating healthy boundaries based on your goals.

Are you drowning with your “to do” list? Listen amiguita, asking for help is a sign of strength not weakness. We’re all capable, but far more productive when we focus our energy on our strengths and delegate things we can. Just because we CAN do it all doesn’t mean we should. We explored one of my favorite topics in this week's episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas, ‘Virtual Assistants and their importance in our business’ - of course I’m talking about delegating!
Having a virtual assistant was a game changer for my practice. This week we’re talking with Amber Gauthuier about her agency for Virtual Assistants and her experience as one herself. Sometimes we don’t know what we need, but when your business is reaching a point where you’re feeling overwhelmed in areas outside of your expertise, it might be time to start your search for a virtual assistant in the areas where you’re struggling. This episode is a game changer for those determined (but struggling) to run a successful business without burning out.
Main Topics
- Delegating can be FREEING!
- The best time to get an assistant.
- How to manage an assistant when you feel like you can’t afford one yet.
- Date around, you’ll find your assistant match
- Be clear on your expectations, where are you overwhelmed?
- VAs are not “employees” they are providing a service - an important distinction!
- Boundaries, boundaries, boundaries!
- VA’s specialities vary, do you need legal? Admin? Social Media?

When we don’t have a clear picture of what we want, we very quickly run ourselves ragged and don’t give ourselves or our businesses the quality of care we’re dying for. I want you to know your worth it and I have some tough love for you in, “What your pricing says about your business” and you.
Tough love incoming! Do you shortchange yourself? Do you undercharge? Do you feel like you’re not worth it? How you present yourself signals to potential customers and clients presents the quality of your work, whether you intend it to or not. In this episode I pop some questions to get your business mind rolling when it comes to your business and the ICA you’re catering to. Take notes! This is fuel for thriving!
-
Make and plan for the life you want
-
Are you a jug of Rosso or a bottle of quality Napa cabernet? Expensive and worth it, or affordable and for everybody? TREAT YOURSELF.
-
Pricing Confidently for your ICA’s goal
-
I don’t want to work with someone that doesn’t want to work with me
-
There is no right or wrong way. How are you showing up?

When we become entrepreneurs our lives drastically change - and our family’s lives change too. Growing pains can become real problems and we explore how and why this happens in, How to navigate your relationship as a business owner with LMFT Veronica Cisneros, an all new episode of Latinas Empowering Latinas.
Navigating ourselves as entrepreneurs can be difficult - and sometimes we overlook those closest to us. Special guest licensed marriage and family therapy Veronica Cisneros joins me in this episode to touch on a very real, very emotional, and very important aspect of how our relationships can experience resistance to change. She and I talk about:
- Veronica gets real and raw as she shares her passionate (and tumultuous) love story and how the history of infidelity in her parent’s home slipped into her own marriage.
- How our relationships get rocked when we push back against cultural expectations and the rut of routine.
- Change is scary. We can feel like we’re doing it alone when our partners don’t know how to support us, or worse yet, when they feel threatened by our success.
- It’s no surprise that communication is key - but how do we communicate? Veronica has some solutions.
As entrepreneurs, we know we’re diving into some rough waters, but our families probably aren’t as aware. In this episode, we learn how we can overcome and find those life preservers to save our relationships.
~Guest Bio~
Veronica Cisneros is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage Coach, Course Creator, Retreat Host, Mother of 3, married for 23 years, host of the Empowered and Unapologetic podcast and owner of a group private practice called Outside The Norm Counseling.
A lot of couples struggle with setting aside intentional time to connect and communicate. They yearn for meaningful conversations that don’t lead to arguments. 1 month away from divorce, Veronica realized she had to do something different. For years she had compromised herself to meet the needs of her husband and her child, she lost herself and was about to lose her marriage.
After years of personal growth and self-reflection, Veronica has not only reclaimed her identity, and celebrated 23 years of marriage but also helped hundreds of couples transform their marriage from feeling like roommates to experiencing a deeper connection.
