Cafe con Pam

When you stop asking for permission, you start leading your own life

Sun, 23 Aug 2026 07:00:02 +0000

Lucy King is back on the show, this time as an author—real evidence that dreams take root in messy, real-life soil, not just positive thinking.

This conversation pulls back the curtain on what it really takes to break through old family rules, juggle privilege and guilt, and find a writing voice that feels both honest and whole. The old system keeps telling us there’s one “right” way, but community, body wisdom, and a good dose of rule-breaking rewrite the rules.

What You Call Self-Sabotage Is Actually Your Body Protecting You

Sun, 16 Aug 2026 07:00:03 +0000

Pam opens up about how the things we call self-sabotage or procrastination are actually ways we've learned to protect ourselves in tough environments.

Instead of blaming ourselves for holding back, Pam lays out the “Six Doors” framework, showing how our habits and hesitations are shaped by bigger systems—and how our bodies are simply trying to keep us safe.

Naming What Hurt Us Opens the Door to Power and Belonging

Sun, 09 Aug 2026 07:00:07 +0000

This episode sits with the weird, messy middle that shows up when you finally stop hiding parts of yourself and let old family rules or corporate “shoulds” melt away. Instead of blaming anyone for staying quiet, the conversation looks at how silence and keeping things in are baked into culture—not something we randomly choose.

Denise Soler Cox shares how writing her book pushed her to break through the old survival mode—and what can happen when we let honest stories come up.

You’re Overloaded Because You’re the Most Capable, Not Because You Lack Boundaries

Sun, 02 Aug 2026 07:00:02 +0000

Pam recognizes the hidden cost of being the “most competent woman in the room”—not as a personal flaw, but as a predictable result of systems that over-rely on reliability.

This episode names the ways competence fuels silent overload, unpacking how workplace cultures reward self-sacrifice and disguise overwork as virtue. The true problem isn’t boundaries—it’s unpaid, unseen labor expected from those who’ve learned to answer before being asked.

Surviving Scarcity Can Teach You to Thrive, Not Just Survive

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 07:00:02 +0000

This episode sits with the quiet ways survival mode shapes generations — not from personal failure, but from the systems that turn scarcity and silence into a way of life. Charly Stoever opens up about navigating identity, money, and belonging as a queer, formerly undocumented kid, noticing how the body holds it all.

Together, we trace how communal care, rest, and joy can interrupt what we’ve been taught about grinding our way to safety.

The loudest voice in the room still carries silence

Sun, 19 Jul 2026 07:00:02 +0000

Ever notice how even the most confident people suddenly second-guess themselves when it counts? Pam unpacks the sneaky “whisper” that makes us search for proof or outside validation—showing how it’s not about lacking confidence, but about coping with systems that taught us to doubt. It’s not your flaw; it’s the world you had to adapt to.

Collaboration Isn’t Compromise: How Bridging Political Divides Protects Community Power

Sun, 12 Jul 2026 07:00:02 +0000

Councilmember Imelda Padilla knows the unique pressure—and privilege—of coming home as the leader for her own community. In this episode of Cafe con Pam, she flips the usual story: it’s not just about the challenges of being a Latina in politics, but about how hard it is for whole neighborhoods to feel like they actually belong in city systems built without them.

Bring your cafecito and learn how for Imelda, leadership means making room for real connection and showing how collaboration can change the game, even when the system feels stacked.

You’re Not Failing Your Family: You’re Rebuilding Your Dignidad

Sun, 05 Jul 2026 07:00:02 +0000

This week, Pam gets real about how hard it is to set boundaries with family when our culture tells us those boundaries shouldn’t exist.

Instead of blaming ourselves for feeling guilty or overwhelmed, she points out how these pressures are part of a bigger system—a system that expects us to always show up, even if it means erasing parts of who we are. This is an honest look at how we can start to protect our own energy without letting guilt run the show.

When You Name the System, Agency and Belonging Show Up with Emilia Huerta-Sanchez

Sun, 28 Jun 2026 07:00:03 +0000

In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam notices how true freedom feels different when you’ve had to build it for yourself—especially when you grow up balancing family expectations, cultural traditions, and new systems in a new country.

Emilia Huerta-Sanchez shares what it’s like to find independence as a first-gen Mexican immigrant, navigate old-school ideas of respect and silence, and eventually decode what our DNA (and family blueprints) really carry with them. Instead of blaming anyone for feeling lost or unsure, this conversation sheds light on the bigger systems—family, culture, academia—that quietly shape so many of our choices.

The Certainty Gap Explained: It’s Not You, It’s the Missing Manual

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 07:00:02 +0000

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about why so many first-gen Latinas feel like they have a “confidence problem”—and flips the script by calling out what it really is: an instruction problem.

Through her own stories of navigating life in the U.S., writing essays without a roadmap, and learning from the women in her family who always cooked “al tanteo” (by feel), Pam shows how most of us have just been figuring things out without ever getting the instructions.

She shares a super easy calming exercise you can do anywhere, and reminds us all that we’re more resourceful and powerful than we think. If you’ve ever been stuck blaming yourself for not fitting in, this episode is for you.

The Financial Floor: What Latinas Carry That Nobody Sees

Sun, 19 Apr 2026 07:00:02 +0000

On this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Edna Mariñelarena, a powerhouse in finance with deep roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Edna opens up about what it’s like growing up as a first-generation Latina in the U.S., how she became the family “financial floor,” and the emotional rollercoaster of supporting loved ones while building her own career.

The conversation dives into why financial literacy matters (especially for women of color), how Savvy Ladies is changing the game by offering free financial advice, and real talk about negotiating those job offers. If you want behind-the-scenes insight on Latinas in finance, family expectations, and breaking the money taboo, this episode is a must-listen.

Braid Your Roots: Building Leadership From Lived Experience

Sun, 12 Apr 2026 07:00:02 +0000

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam kicks off quarter two with an empowering deep dive into the concept of "rooted authority" for first-generation Latina leaders.

Using real survey responses and her own career stories, Pam breaks down the four roots Latinas have been quietly building: translating, managing without authority, caring for everyone, and surviving visibility in spaces not made for them.

By weaving these roots together, she shows how what once felt like a burden can actually become your biggest leadership flex. Get ready to feel seen, celebrated, and inspired to own your story!

Loyalty and Silence: Dolores Huerta, Cesar Chavez, and the Cost of Speaking Out

Sun, 29 Mar 2026 07:00:02 +0000

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam addresses the recent revelations from civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who at 95 came forward to disclose Cesar Chavez’s sexual assault against her in the 1960s.

With honesty and heart, Pam unpacks what Huerta’s story means for the Latinx community, the heavy silence so many women carry, and the complicated feelings that come when a cultural hero lets us down.

If you’ve ever felt the pressure to stay quiet for the sake of family, community, or movement, this episode will resonate. It’s a deep dive into what it costs to keep those secrets—and what it means to finally speak out.

From Surviving to Thriving: Healing Money Wounds with Sahirenys Pierce

Sun, 22 Mar 2026 07:00:03 +0000

On this episode of Café con Pam, Pam sits down with Sahirenys Pierce, a powerhouse financial educator and the mind behind the High Five Banking Method.

Sahirenys opens up about her experience growing up as a first-gen Dominican-American in San Diego, going through her family’s financial ups and downs during the 2008 recession, and how it pushed her to create new money habits (and eventually, her own book!).

The conversation dives deep into real-life money struggles, learning to save even when no one taught you how, and how being intentional with your finances can seriously change your life—no matter where you start from.

The Certainty Gap: How to Find Grounding in Your Identity

Sun, 15 Mar 2026 07:00:03 +0000

In this solo episode of Café con Pam, Pam talks about what it actually means to feel certain—and why so many first-gen Latinas constantly feel like they're not enough for any room.

We break down the difference between confidence (which we can fake) and certainty (which has to come from deep within), and shares why Calladita Culture was stealing our sense of wholeness before we even noticed.

If you’ve ever felt too much or not enough, this episode is your reminder that your unique blend of identities is your superpower, not a flaw. Pam also walks us through simple, body-based (somatic) practices you can use anytime to anchor yourself back into who you really are, so you can show up with more authenticity—just in time for spring’s season of blooming.

This week on Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with the incredible Cindy Chavez Swenson—a Mexican-American PhD, educator, and founder behind the Rosca app. They dive into Cindy’s journey growing up as the child of Mexican immigrants, what it’s like being overlooked (and underestimated) in both academia and tech, and how her family’s values inspired her to create a fintech app that actually serves Latino communities.

From stories about the original “Reading Olympics” snub to the power of gathering—for money, time, and support—Cindy is refreshingly real about the highs, lows, and everything in between. You’ll walk away fired up and ready to start your own tanda!

Teaching Puerto Rican History Through Bad Bunny’s Music with Vanessa Díaz & Petra Rivera-Rideau

Sun, 22 Feb 2026 08:00:05 +0000

This week on Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with scholars Petra Rivera-Rideau and Vanessa Díaz to dive into all things Bad Bunny, Puerto Rico, and what it really means to be Latinas in academia.

The episode is equal parts inspiring and real as they open up about the struggles (and joys!) of being underrepresented in their field, how teaching a college class about Bad Bunny grew into a book, and why teaming up was their secret to making it all happen.

Plus, they spill on why Bad Bunny’s music is way more than just catchy—it’s a window into Puerto Rican resilience and pride.

The Truth About Manifestation (When You're Navigating Calladita Culture®)

Sun, 18 Jan 2026 08:00:08 +0000

In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about why typical manifestation advice just doesn’t cut it for first-gen Latinas and anyone navigating “Calladita culture.”

She breaks down the actual science behind why just dreaming about your goals isn’t enough—plus, she shows how the brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) decides what opportunities you see (or don’t!).

Pam shares her favorite methods for tapping into your potential, including writing vision scripts and using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to let go of that nagging guilt about wanting more. If you’re tired of spiritual bypassing and want some real talk about manifesting your dreams, this solo episode is for you!

In this inspiring episode of Café con Pam, Pam welcomes musician, author, and disability advocate Lachi for a real talk about life, creativity, and breaking barriers.

When Being Seen Feels Like a Threat (Part 1)

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 08:00:07 +0000

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about why speaking up can feel so hard, even when you know you have something important to say.

She unpacks the idea of the visibility wound of Calladita Culture, explaining how it goes way deeper than just lacking confidence. From family messages like "calladita te ves más bonita" to the pressures of code-switching and dealing with accents, Pam highlights how generations of cultural conditioning shape our reactions when all eyes are on us.

She shares personal stories, a client example, and research to show it’s not you—it’s your nervous system protecting you based on old survival instincts. If you’ve ever frozen up in a meeting or felt extra pressure as the only Latina in the room, this episode is for you.

The Lie that Gratitude Means Silence

Sun, 09 Nov 2025 08:00:08 +0000

In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about the sometimes tricky balance between being grateful for where you come from and wanting more out of life.

Using stories, cultural insights, and research, Pam shows why it’s totally possible to honor your parents’ sacrifices without feeling guilty for chasing bigger dreams. If you’ve ever felt stuck between “being grateful” and going after what you really want, you’ll hear why you don’t have to pick just one.

How Latino Stories Shaped the U.S.: Insights from Dr. Nicolás Kanellos

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 07:00:08 +0000

In this episode of Café con Pam, Pam chats with Dr. Nicolás Kanellos—professor, founder of Arte Público Press, and author of "Latino Firsts"—about the rich and often untold stories of Latinos who’ve shaped U.S. history.

Dr. Kanellos opens up about his Puerto Rican and Greek roots, how feeling invisible in school fueled his lifelong mission to highlight Latino voices, and the journey of digging up stories of Latino trailblazers in everything from civil rights to NASA.

They talk about why telling these stories matters now more than ever, what’s at stake with today’s cultural and political tensions, and why representation in education and media is so crucial for future generations.

Sun, 14 Sep 2025 07:00:07 +0000

On this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about loyalty—the kind that's hidden deep in our beliefs, not just earned with punch cards or friendship bracelets. Pam digs into how family history, subconscious patterns, and ancestral stories can keep us stuck in the same cycles, and why breaking free doesn’t mean betraying where we come from.

With nerdy science facts, relatable examples, and super practical tools like the FUEGO Method, Pam shows you how to spot old patterns and create new ones that lead to freedom and growth.

Bienvenidos al episodio 385 de Cafe con Pam donde tenemos una conversación inspiradora con Sandra Hinojosa Ludwig, una destacada coach, practicante de experiencias somáticas y autora bestseller de Hay House.

En este episodio, exploramos la alineación cuerpo-mente y cómo manifestar vidas plenas. Sandra comparte estrategias como tableros de visión y experiencias somáticas. Nos habla del alivio que trae la alineación y nos invita a conectar con nuestro cuerpo a través de técnicas como el EFT y recordando los juegos de nuestra niñez. También discutimos sus logros con su libro galardonado "Chica, Why Not?" y su impacto en las redes sociales.

Using Creativity To Fill Your Cup with Andrea Campos

Sun, 19 Mar 2023 07:00:00 +0000

Listeners, we are back this week with Andrea Campos.

Andrea Campos is a Mexican-American illustrator and visual artist based in Los Angeles California. Raised in Chicago, Andrea made her way to the West Coast in 2015 in search of warmer weather and her version of the American dream. In January 2020, after nearly a decade in marketing, Andrea decided to shift her career focus and become a photographer. Her timing could have been better, because just weeks later, the pandemic hit and every production she had committed to being a part of shut down.

Like so many others at that time, Andrea became unemployed overnight and felt anxious and overwhelmed by the state of the world. So, she turned to art as a way to make sense of it all. Andrea drew and drew, and eventually started sharing her art via ‘dreasdoodles’ on Instagram.
Within months, Andrea’s work started to go viral, catching the attention of authors, agents, and even a few celebrities. Including Jimmy Fallon, and Jennifer Lopez, who invited Andrea to illustrate their debut bilingual children’s book ‘Con Pollo’ (Feiwel & Friends).

Today, Andrea is a New York Times bestselling Illustrator, visual artist and creative producer, with over 20K followers who is pursuing her dream to connect with others and spread positivity through her playful, colorful creations.

The daughter of immigrants, Andrea is committed to being inclusive in her storytelling - and hopes that her work will not only spark joy in people's lives but also share the joy of the BIPOC experience.

During this episode we talked about:

03:36 - Her heritage and her mom’s immigration story
08:32 - "I was a very curious person about everything”
09:26 - Going to college and picking “a real career”
12:05 - “The second that society and culture star shaping you…”
13:36 - Starting her career journey
16:30 - “I was finally like: ya basta”
20:16 - “The founder title is a lot sexier to the world than artist”
24:10 - Her advice for professional development
28:38 - Making the decision to change careers
31:33 - Planning her trip while dealing with health issues
36:31 - The pandemic and reconnecting with drawing
39:39 - Her personal “artist residency”
42:21 - “Use this as a way to weather the storm”
42:43 - Going viral
43:09 - “The world give me permission to accept the title”
45:20 - “Why don’t you just try and see what happens”
48:38 - Pricing
50:01 - Her new book

Choosing The Other Side of Fear with Linda Garcia

Sun, 12 Mar 2023 08:00:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Linda García.

Linda Garcia CEO, The Chosen Hundred LLC + Founder, In Luz We Trust.

A Cali native and proud Latina, Linda Garcia spent 17 years working in the TV and film industry helping well-recognized TV networks, movie studios and streaming services build programming for the U.S. Hispanic market. Despite enjoying the work, Linda knew there was more to life than working to make someone else rich. Eventually, she took the knowledge she’d gained and used it to launch the Let There Be Luz podcast: a weekly podcast aimed to channel one’s spiritual journey, which Linda concluded at its 101st episode. In 2019, after relocating to Dallas, Linda’s spiritual journey led her to what she considers her life’s purpose: to help the Latinx community heal the generational money wounds that prevent them from achieving wealth. In 2020, at the height of the pandemic, Linda launched her first stock market course for beginners and created a rapidly growing community of Latinx investors on Patreon and Instagram known as In Luz We Trust.

Today Linda is a published children’s book author, a self-made business owner, and a guiding Luz for thousands of BIPOC who are looking to break free from limiting and toxic money mentalities. Linda’s book, ‘Wealth Warrior’, is set to be released in April 2023. In Luz We Trust is an experience-led online community with courses that address limiting beliefs prevalent in communities of color, with a step-by-step component that simplifies the stock market, helping to navigate fears that are tied to our upbringing. Through this conversation, we hope to demystify money and investing, help identify common money wounds we subconsciously hold, gain clarity, and move towards taking action in investing.

During this episode we talked about:

04:41 - Catching up since her last visit
07:11 - “This is what manifesting is”
08:55 - Designing the cover and manifesting the book
11:55 - The moments of desire and inspiration
12:57 - “Listen to the inspiration”
13:11 - Connecting inspiration to her current work
14:03 - “On the other side of my fear is exactly what I’m looking for”
15:58 - Her tool to navigating fear
21:27 - “You always have an option”
22:38 - Transitioning to a different kind of work
24:08 - “I understood that money is just thoughts”
28:03 - Survivor’s guilt
29:08 - Surpassing survival mode
32:22 - “I built it all in a house of honesty”
40:08 - The hardest part of writing the book
40:14 - Questioning and finding challenges
41:59 - “Quit for the day and come back tomorrow”
42:33 - Visibility
46:18 - Deconstructing practices

Fresh Bellies has won Expo East NEXTY Award for Best New Natural Kid’s Product, and Saskia graduated from the Stanford Latino Business Action Network (LBAN) cohort! During her 16-year career in consumer marketing she climbed the ladder of corporate America to become the VP of Marketing in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as a proud representation of American immigrants and women and, received several industry accolades for her innovation and leadership, including AdAge’s 40 Under 40 and Hispanic Lifestyle’s “Latina of Influence.”

Originally from Guayaquil, Ecuador, Sorrosa currently resides in New York with her husband, Fernando and daughters, Isabella and Alexa Luna.

How To Price Your Thing

Sun, 23 Oct 2022 22:23:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we talk about all things pricing. Something people always ask is "how much should I charge for it?" and the question I always come back with is how much do you want IT to make you? And while this question may not resonate with everyone, it is the beginning of exploring our desires. Why do you want to make the thing in the first place? Do people want it? And truly, what number feels safe for your body to ask for? Truth is the number we feel safe with isn't always the answer, however, it provides a gauge from what our nervous system can sustain as far as stress from asking people for money.

After that, it's all math.

Building Brazi Bites with Junea Rocha

Sun, 09 Oct 2022 23:18:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Junea Rocha.

Junea Rocha is the Co-Founder and CMO of better-for-you, Latin-inspired food brand, Brazi Bites. After graduating from college in Civil Engineering, Junea took a job in construction management in Portland, Oregon, rising through the ranks quickly and hitting a career-high. However, when Junea imagined her future, she knew she would rather take a risk on a career she was passionate about over working in something that was simply just easy for her. With a huge love for her Brazilian homeland and entrepeneruial spirit, Junea set her eyes on achieving something bigger that would take more heart and resilience than any job she ever had.

In 2010, along with her husband and Co-Founder, Cameron MacMullin, Junea decided to bring a cherished household staple that was native to her Brazilian roots, “Pão de Queijo,” AKA cheese bread, to the U.S. market without any experience in the food industry. With better-for-you foods in mind, Brazi Bites was founded on the authentic family recipe from Junea’s mother using simple, wholesome, hand-picked ingredients like tapioca flour. In a few short years after taking a giant leap and perfecting the family recipe, Brazi Bites grew into a nationally distributed brand with a cult-like following after appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank and being included twice on the Inc. 5000 list of “America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies.” Junea has been heavily involved in all areas of the business with a leading role in Sales & Marketing, growing Brazi Bites’ annual revenue from zero to millions and over 15,000 stores. She is also a skilled fundraiser having gone through multiple types of funding over the last decade, from bootstrapping to loans, angel investors, and more. In 2018, the founding duo brought on a private equity investor to help fuel the rapid growth and surge in demand for new innovation, transforming Brazi Bites as a leader in the frozen better-for-you, Latin-inspired food category.

Today, Junea remains just as passionate and more excited than ever to continue Brazi Bites’ growth, making its products a household staple in North America. Junea hopes to continue creating joyful moments for families everywhere by producing delicious, easy-to-make, naturally gluten-free foods that also guarantee to spread smiles.

04:00 - Arriving to the US

32:08 - Shark tank

Estate Planning with Carmen Rosas

Sun, 04 Sep 2022 19:00:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Carmen Rosas.

Hoop-wearing, award-winning and stereotype-defying attorney Carmen Rosas is on a mission to help women chase and secure the bag. Drawing on more than 10 years of experience in estate planning, Rosas equips women to protect themselves and their families by protecting their assets. And she’s doing it all in style.

A proud mix of Mexican, French, and Italian, Carmen grew up in the Bay Area, fascinated by her grandmother's stories of living in Mexico, arriving in America, and settling in California. Her curiosity of other cultures and the development of languages and communal systems led her to study Anthropology at Santa Clara University. During her sophomore year, she even interned at the Public Defender’s Office-Juvenile Division in Washington D.C.

Carmen’s comparison studies of the U.S. legal system and tribal systems in New Zealand, as well as her interest in policy change, led her to law school. Following this inspiration, she grew her legal skills and worked with three prominent Bay Area law firms while also volunteering with the Pro Bono Project of Silicon Valley.

Today she is the founder and lead counsel of Carmen Rosas Law where she empowers women to take back control of their money, desires and life. Carmen’s unique approach to estate planning blends personalized, intuitive coaching with trusted legal advice to finally give women, especially Latina women, the chance to be seen and heard by an attorney who looks like them and gets it.
Carmen has been featured inThe Huffington Post, Forbes, Be Latina, Create and Cultivate, The Balance, and Modern Latina where she shares her guidance and legal advice with women around the country. When she’s not plotting a new way to help women win, she’s either hiking, gardening, traveling, shopping at local farmer's markets or experiencing new cultures. More than anything, she loves spending her free time with her beautiful daughter.

During this episode we talked about:

04:14 - Growing up multicultural
10:26 - Being the first
13:40 - Going to law school
31:57 - Getting to where she is now
36:21 - What is estate planning
And more...

Latina. Fierce. Fighter. A San Diego native with a laugh as big as her hair. These are just a few things we would use to describe our Founder and Host of The Wine & Chisme Podcast, Jessica Yañez. But that’s just the beginning. Jessica grew up in the suburbs of San Diego and has always had a curiosity for other people and their stories. As far back as she can remember, she would be the first to approach a new student at school, introduce herself, and want to know all about them. Not much has changed as her curiosity has lent itself well to learning more about the world around her. She specifically created The Wine & Chisme Podcast to amplify voices across communities of color and share their stories on career, love, life and more. All while sipping on a glass of wine. She launched the VERY FIRST directory of Latiné owned wine brands based in the United States and has since expanded into hosting virtual wine tastings that specifically focus on these vintner. She believes that people need to know that our community not only works the land, but owns the brands.

13:46 - Pride & self-imposed shame

Decolonize Spirituality and Visibility with Dr. Rocio Rosales Meza

Sun, 13 Mar 2022 08:00:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Dr. Rocio Rosales Meza.

Dra. Rocío Rosales Meza, is a Xicana/Mexicana Indigenous women in diaspora. She is a Seer, initiated medicine woman in the Q’ero Inca lineage, & is a Counseling Psychology Ph.D. She is also an unschooling mama to a 5 year old child who holds supernatural gifts.

Dra. Rocio walks and works in between the earthly and spiritual realms as a claircognizant, clairvoyant, clairsentient, and clairaudient. She comes from a long line of healers on both her maternal and paternal lineages and was born with psychic, channeling, and mediumship gifts. Dra. Rocio is able to see beyond this ordinary reality to bring forth the highest timelines and visions into our earthly reality. She is grateful to her teachers, Pampamesayoq Don Alejandro Apaza & Mesa Carrier and Medicine Woman Marilu Shinn for helping her remember.

Dra. Rocio’s work is at the intersections of decolonizing, spirituality, and wellness. While she has 21 years of experience conducting cultural, social, and psychological research, 18 years of experience as a healer, and 16 years of experience teaching courses in anti-oppressive work and helping skills, she believes that it is her spiritual gifts and ability to cultivate compassion and alchemize as her greatest gifts. She is able to hold potent healing space for others as this is a skill in her blood lineage, with her abuelita and her mother as her greatest teachers.

Her work is deeply rooted in Indigenous wisdom, medicine, and worldview and her work has had a global impact to evolve the collective consciousness in understanding the need to decolonize our minds, to reclaim our spiritual sovereignty, and to restore balance to our world. She views decolonization not as a destination, but as a pathway to the New Earth and to remembering our sacred ways. While she does decolonial work, that is only part of her work, she serves as a spiritual guide for all people to recover their whole selves, their spiritual gifts, and to remember that we are all peoples of the Earth.

Dra. Rocio’s work weaves decolonial teachings, Indigenous Earth medicine, somatic work, energy work, and shadow work. She offers group guidance, self-paced teachings, weekend intensives and facilitates healing to all peoples that believe a New Earth is possible and feel called to take up their sacred responsibility to co-create it.

During our conversation, we talked about:

How her business has changed since we last spoke
Decolonizing spirituality
Visibility
and more...

Tue, 18 Jan 2022 00:12:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Aida Rodriguez.

Aida Rodriguez is a Comedian, Writer, Actor, and Mother. Lauded by Esquire Magazine as “raucously funny,” she has become a favorite with fans and critics alike. With her first hour standup special set to premiere, her own TV series in development, both at HBO Max, and a deal for an animated series with ITV, Aida is bound for the comedy stratosphere.

In 2020, Aida headlined the HBO LatinX standup special Entrenos while also appearing in Showtime’s Shaquille O'Neal Presents: All Star Comedy Jam, one of only four women to have performed on the series in its 15 seasons. Prior to that, she had her own half hour special on Netflix’s hit comedy series They Ready, Executive Produced by Tiffany Haddish and Wanda Sykes. In reviews Decider gushed that the special “will have you laughing, crying and begging for more” and Esquire Magazine declared *“*This is Rodriguez's genius—using comedy to turn pain into progress, to give voice to the voiceless, and to laugh instead of cry.”

During our conversation, we talked about:

How she started her career
How she now honors her height
Everything that she's learned has supported her now
Her HBO special Fighting Words

Chloé Nwangwu is a Brand Scientist, Digital Diplomacy (like actual diplomacy!) advisor and the founder of NobWorks, an evidence based brand advisory for historically underestimated public figures, leaders and their organizations.

She has consulted on and developed programming around anti-bias and anti-discrimination as an Assistant Director at the Anti-Defamation League and mediated crisis level bias incidents in the aftermath of the 2016 presidential elections. She has an MA in International Conflict Resolution and Mediation from Tel Aviv University where she continued her undergraduate honors research in the modalities of sensory perception, religious experience and intractable conflict. Her other research includes intragroup conflict dynamics and the use of social media in the Arab Spring, which she pursued after living in Cairo in the months leading up to the protests in Tahrir square.

Most recently, she advised the first refugee delegation to the UN and the High Ambition Coalition--a coalition of the world's most climate ambitious nations.

During our conversation, we talked about:

Her work as a Brand Scientist
Her Nigerian roots and how that influences her work now
So much more

Please note, the first part of the episode got unexpectedly cut off, so you'll hear the beginning and then an abrupt jump to the second part of the show. Sorry about that!

Listeners, we're back this week with Ruben Flores-Martinez.

At age 13, Ruben and his family immigrated to the states from Guadalajara, Mexico.

Ruben represents less than 2.6% of LatinX founders who have received VC funding. To date, the app has raised $2.7 million in capital. Major investors include hospitality entrepreneur David Grutman, Youtube pioneer Michelle Phan, and Stalwart Silicon Valley investor and founder Cyan Banister.

Too Happy To Be A Sad Girl with Angel Aviles

Sun, 10 Oct 2021 17:40:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Angel Aviles.

In the early 90s, Angel Aviles boldly decided to pursue her dream of becoming an actress. The Bronx native moved from New York City to Hollywood, and landed roles on projects with up-and-coming directors like Quentin Tarantino, Robert Rodriguez, Michael Patrick King, and many others. In 1993, she nabbed a starring role in the cult classic “Mi Vida Loca,” directed and written by award-winning filmmaker Allison Anders. Her big break in the role of “Sad Girl” cemented Aviles legacy in Chicano culture.

Following her acting career, Aviles became an entrepreneur. Today, she is a transformational life coach, a motivational speaker, and an advocate for social justice, leading workshops and master classes and encouraging others to live their best lives.

The former actress-turned-life coach is the author of “Too Happy to Be Sad Girl,” The title is a nod to Aviles’ most famous role in “Mi Vida Loca.”

“Mi Vida Loca,” centers around young Mexicanas and Latinas growing up in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. It offers a slice life and the everyday struggles for a group of Latino youth -- including their friendships, romantic entanglements, and motherhood -- in a neighborhood ravaged by gang violence. For almost 30 years, the portrayal of “Sad Girl” by Aviles in this classic film has become an iconic representation of both strength and vulnerability in Chicano culture. “Mi Vida Loca” is currently available for viewing on YouTube.

In 2009, Aviles suffered from depression, anxiety, and panic attacks, which began her own journey of mental, physical, and spiritual wellness. Healed and happy, Aviles is proud to say that with years of therapy, she’s no longer a “sad girl,” finding herself, her sanity, and most importantly, her purpose.

“Too Happy to Be Sad Girl” offers readers some valuable techniques to reduce stress, improve communication, intensify focus and help individuals become more present. The book features heartfelt and sometimes comical anecdotes of understanding, offering readers the keys to the power of forgiveness, acceptance and love. Ultimately, “Too Happy To Be Sad Girl,” is an invitation for individuals to stay present, and have an active role in the celebration of their own life.
Aviles facilitates dynamic workshops across the country, helping hundreds of people connect with their inner “chingona” – that is, badass. At her company, Angel Awakened, Aviles and her team provide safe spaces for people to learn and share experiences that foster creativity, promote unity and inspire hope.

When she's not at work, Aviles is a mom, a traveler, a volunteer, a tech evangelist, a food justice advocate, a mentor, a soulmate, a seeker, and, most importantly, a human being.

During our conversation, we talked about:

Growing up in NYC and moving to California
Her heritage
Choosing to leave Hollywood
Writing her book
Next steps in her life

A Mother's Resilience with Lisbeth Garces

Sun, 01 Aug 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Lisbeth Garces.

Since 2007, Lisbeth Garces has sought to provide dance therapy exercise for people with disabilities in memory of her late son, Juan Carlos Garces, who suffered from Muscular Dystrophy. Lisbeth was born in Venezuela, the youngest in a family of seven siblings. At the age of twenty she gave birth to her son Juan Carlos. After five years she received the devastating diagnosis of Muscular Dystrophy. At this point Lisbeth decided to devote all her time and energy to improving her son's quality of life. Lisbeth is not without personal experience in living with people with disabilities.
Lisbeth's sister lives with cerebral palsy, her mother suffered with Parkinson's before she passed away and her brother was diagnosed with Parkinson’s at age 60 and passed away at 68 in 2020. Her sister did not receive any medical support or an education, and had no social interaction outside of the immediate family. She witnessed the slow decline in her mother's health while caring for her daughter.

Having seen the disturbing way in which people with disabilities live in Venezuela, Lisbeth made a vow to give her son a life full of physical and social activities that would enrich his life. She made the courageous decision to leave her native country and come to the U.S.

The totality of Lisbeth's life experiences began to merge after Juan Carlos' death. Returning to her love of dancing and Latin musical roots, Lisbeth became certified as a Zumba® instructor. As a natural trajectory, she began to teach low- income special needs students about the joy that can be achieved through joyful dance therapy exercise. Her repertoire expanded to people living with Down's syndrome, Parkinson's, Autism, Muscular Dystrophy, even people in wheelchairs. She envisioned a program that would provide regular classes for people with disabilities.

With drive, inspiration, and a gift for dance, she recruited a Board of Directors to form a new non-profit, Juan Carlos Organization, in May of 2012 www.jcorg.org.

Breaking Through Your Own Glass Ceiling with Linda Gonzalez

Wed, 23 Jun 2021 07:00:00 +0000

Listeners this week we have a conversation with Linda González.

Linda González recently published Breaking Through Your Own Glass Ceiling, based on both hers and her coaching clients’ efforts to live a full-hearted life despite daily inequities. Her award-winning memoir The Cost of Our Lives is a family story of unearthing secrets in search of family and redemption. She has published many essays, served as a judge for the Latino Books awards, and is a contributing editor for aaduna, an online literary magazine.

Linda firmly believes in the ‘danger of a single story’ about any group of people. She works tirelessly to write and support writing that enriches the current canon of literature. She constantly challenges the narrative that she cannot include Spanish in her work without explaining it or italicizing it.

You can learn more about her writing and her thriving practice as a life coach at www.lindagonzalez.net

Linda has lived in the Bay Area for over thirty years and is currently in San Rafael on the unceded land of the Coastal Miwok nation. She is originally from Los Angeles where her immigrant parents, a Colombiana and a Mexicano, met and raised her family. Her 24 year old twins inspire her daily to be her best self.

During our conversation we talked about:

Shattering glass ceilings
"We thrive or we are burdened by our community"
The trauma of carrying our people
Intersectionality of our identities
Safety
Rest
Power in words
The "get over it" mentality
The puritan foundation of this country
How productive grieving is

Healing Your Inner Child Is Necessary with Luis Aguilar

During our conversation we talked about:

The end of Latinos Who Lunch
Luis' healing journey
The impact of COVID and losing people

We Need More Fertility Education with Lilliana Vazquez

Mon, 31 May 2021 05:29:00 +0000

Listeners this week we have a conversation with Lilliana Vazquez.

Emmy-winning host and TV personality Lilliana Vazquez is a trailblazing interviewer, style expert, and author. Capturing the audience’s attention behind the microphone, she earned kudos from Bustle with its headline “NBC's Golden Globes Red Carpet Host Is One to Watch.” The enterprising star has curated a career that began from a small blog to being seen by millions daily on numerous platforms including America’s #1 Morning Show, TODAY.

Through her experience and research, it led her to realize how infertility disproportionately affects the Latinx community - her beloved community does not have the same access, education, or financial resources when it comes to advanced reproductive technologies (ART). This inspired her to collaborate with a fertility clinic, Kindbody, to create a community initiative that’ll help 12 Latinx women receive free hormonal tests, and one couple receive one IVF treatment.

During our conversation we talked about:

The different Spanish accents that exist
Going to college and scholarships as a children of immigrants
How she got into fashion and when she worked at her dream magazine
Her first job in a Latinx company
Liliana's journey to fertility
Misconceptions around IVF
Lack of information/representation/access in the Latinx community
Her partnership with Kindbody
2009 Article: The challenge of providing infertility services to a low-income immigrant Latino population

The Answer is Always No Until You Ask with Kim Cordova

Mon, 10 May 2021 03:19:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Kim Cordova.

Kim Cordova was elected President of the UFCW Local 7 in 2009 and is currently serving her fourth term. She is the first woman, in its 150-year history, to ever lead Local 7 and serves as Vice President of UFCW International. Cordova believes when there is a strong labor movement, there is a strong middle class – the key to rebuilding the economies of Colorado and Wyoming.

Cordova, a Local 7 union member for 35 years and counting, has dedicated her career to fighting for the health, safety, and wellbeing of working people. In 1985, while still in high school, she began her career as a grocery bagger for Safeway. While working at the store she was held at gunpoint, an experience that sparked her passion for workplace safety. After eight years at Safeway, in several positions including stocker, checker, and baker, she was hired in 1993 as a Local 7 union organizer and later union representative. She served in that position until May 2009 when she returned to work at a Safeway.

Later in 2009 as a rank-and-file member, Cordova ran for President of UFCW Local 7 on a reform platform to implement ethical practices and other financial controls to restore credibility to Colorado’s largest private-sector labor union. Following a stunning upset victory of a longtime incumbent, Cordova assumed office in 2010.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, she has been a vocal advocate calling for enforceable safety measures for her members, America’s essential workers. Under her leadership during the pandemic, the union has called for increased onsite COVID-19 testing, improved workplace safety measures, paid sick leave, and maintaining hazard pay until the danger has subsided for her members—many of whom are considered essential workers.

As one of the few Latinas elected to union leadership in the United States, Cordova is helping pave the way for a new generation of women of color in organized labor. UFCW Local 7 represents more than 25,000 grocery, meatpacking, food processing, health care, cosmetology and barbershop workers in Colorado and Wyoming.

Cordova resides in Denver with her family and two dogs. The family enjoys tennis, riding bikes, and driving in the mountains. She’s often cheering on her home state teams including the Denver Broncos, Denver Nuggets, Colorado Avalanche, and the Colorado Rockies.

Your Story Matters

Tue, 20 Apr 2021 03:49:00 +0000

Listeners we are back this week with episode 200!

What a milestone! Instead of a celebration, Pam comes in to share a part of her story that catapulted her passion for listening to other's stories. It only took 200 episodes for her to feel safe enough to share this story, and by synchronicity, episode 200 landed during April, Sexual Assault Awareness Month.

TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault.

This episode is brought to you by The Washington Office on Latin America
Social leaders often face-off with a Colombian government that refuses to admit its failures, and they stand up to armed groups terrorizing their communities. Hundreds of Afro-descendent and Indigenous social leaders have been killed in Colombia for their work advocating for their communities, yet they persist. In a new documentary podcast series, you will hear why directly from four of them. REBUILDING PEACE IN COLOMBIA, created by the Washington Office on Latin America and in partnership with Peabody-nominated Lantigua Williams & Co as part of the digital advocacy campaign CON LÍDERES HAY PAZ. The four-part, bilingual podcast series follows the stories of social leaders in Colombia who, every day, under threat to their lives, search for truth and work toward reconciliation, fight for justice for victims of the Colombian conflict, and ensure the government lives up to the guarantees it made to ethnic and rural communities in the historic 2016 peace accord. Subscribe now to REBUILDING PEACE IN COLOMBIA wherever you get your podcasts. With social leaders, peace in Colombia is possible. They are asking us to support their work and protect their lives. Sign up for related updates, advocacy actions, and the action group guide at conlidereshaypaz.org.

Please understand this episode was shared to empower others to share their stories as long as they feel safe. It is our role as citizens of the world to create safe spaces for survivors and thrivers. The goal of this episode is to create awareness of sexual assault and provide resources like those listed below:

Querer es Poder with Sarah Farzam

Mon, 22 Mar 2021 05:19:00 +0000

Listeners we're back this week with Sarah Farzam.

Sarah is the Founder and CEO of Bilingual Birdies Sarah is half Mexican and half Iranian and grew up speaking Spanish, Farsi, and English. She’s from L.A. and graduated from UCLA with a BA in English. From there Sarah moved to Mexico City and later NYC where she taught high school and waited tables for a year before getting the idea to start her own educational company when she was only 24 years old.

A lover of music, language, and culture, her intention was to create a space to celebrate diversity with children. In 2006, with zero business experience, Sarah launched Bilingual Birdies, a foreign language and live music program for children up to age six in NYC after months of passing out fliers in public playgrounds which yielded a total of three enrolled students (two of which were her twin nieces).

She bootstrapped every step of the way and even invested her own saved-up tip money to start. Soon after she became the recipient of the Lenovo Heart of Business Entrepreneurship Award ($25K prize) as well as the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship Pitch Competition ($20K prize). After completing Goldman Sach’s 10,000 Small Businesses Program, Sarah began to set the framework to build an online platform that would help her expand nationally.

Today Bilingual Birdies teaches Spanish, French, Mandarin, and English to thousands of children per week across 21 cities in the US, Canada, and Australia through their online training program which certifies and licenses bilingual and educators to launch their own Bilingual Birdies businesses in their own city. Enrolled families benefit from original Bilingual Birdies products such as bilingual ebooks, music albums, and the most adorable bird puppets you have ever seen in your entire life.
Under the leadership of Sarah, Bilingual Birdies educators have traveled to Guanajuato, Mexico to volunteer and perform in the children’s section of La Calaca Festival. They have also journeyed to Paris, France to train early educators on how to implement their methodology to teach English to children in a fun and musical way.

Most recently they traveled to Nairobi, Kenya to volunteer at Little Ray of Hope, an informal preschool in Kawangware, the country’s second-largest slum. Nearly 13 years after Sarah started Bilingual Birdies she is more motivated than ever to identify bilingual educators with an entrepreneurial spirit who are looking to share their language and culture with children, make money doing what they love, and transform their communities to encourage future generations of global thinking, open-minded humans.

These three mama’s are on a mission to transform our country and celebrate the power and hope of pissed-off mamas who are building a better future for ALL of our children. There’s no podcast quite like it, so check it out on whatever platform you get your podcasts on.

During our conversation, Sarah and I talked about:

Identity
Not speaking Spanish as a kid
Using language as a bridge
Business school vs hustle
Leaving her other jobs to "go for it"
Investing in the internal dialogue
Kids and mindfulness
The art of the pivot
Treating money as a friend

Demystifying Diversity with Daralyse Lyons

Mon, 15 Feb 2021 18:53:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we're back with Daralyse Lyons.

Daralyse Lyons, aka the Transformational Storyteller, is a journalist, an actor, and an activist. She has written more than two dozen full-length books, a handful of short stories, and countless articles, performed in various plays and in improv comedy shows. A member of the National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) and a summa cum laude graduate of NYU, with a double-major in English and Religious Studies and a minor in History, she is passionate about exposing the painful side of history, the side that is not written by oppressors. Through her studies, she has come to see the beautiful and overlapping philosophies of Judaism, Islam and Christianity and wonders why people so often use religion as a battering ram, instead of a source of solace and support. As a Biracial woman, she has made it her mission to stand for a more integrated world.

As a sexually fluid person who has had relationships and experiences with both men and women, she has had to find her place amidst a multitude of communities that attempt to erase her orientation and has been a voice within the darkness. After writing an award-winning children’s book (I’m Mixed!) about embracing her multiethnic heritage, Daralyse found her passion and her purpose educating others about the need to embrace all aspects of themselves. Since then, she has written and spoken extensively on the subject of diversity. Her perspective is one that looks to acknowledge the past while refusing to become incapacitated by it. As a Biracial, multiethnic and sexually fluid woman, she is uniquely empowered to use her seemingly disparate background as a catalyst for cross-cultural understanding.

This episode is brought to you by the Procrastinator Quiz! Do you know what kind of procrastinator are you? Find out at procrastinatorquiz.com

During our conversation, Daralyse and I talked about the following:

Racial reconciliation and binarism
Cancel culture
Comfort zones and growing pains
Educating yourself in diversity issues
Finding your own way to stand up for yourself
And more...

Owning Your Destiny with Laura Rivas

Sat, 19 Dec 2020 20:49:00 +0000

Hello listeners, this week we have a conversation with Laura Rivas.

Who would’ve thought a 1980 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am Bandit would be the reason why Laura's family lives in the U.S. today. Her father came to pick up the Firebird and decided to stay in the land of the free, followed shortly by her mom, her sister, and her a year after. Their first year in America was in her uncle’s living room in the city of Compton. Laura remembers looking out the second-floor living room window on Christmas day and seeing a drunk Santa Claus shooting his gun in the air shouting a cheerful “Merry Christmas Motherf*ckers.” They settled down in the backhouse of Mexican Santeria worshippers for the next fourteen years. On her tenth birthday, Laura's mother bought her a Sony Mini DVD camcorder to capture the two scarlet macaws, five Chihuahuas, four chickens, and a cat that roamed freely in their front yard. From that day forward, she was hooked on capturing the good, the bad, and craziness of life through the lens of a camera and she hasn’t looked back since.

Starting at the tender age of eight-years-old, playing on shoeboxes in lieu of a real drum set, and performing at his school talent shows and local events. PipoBeats is now a rising pop artist who was a winner on NBC’s Songland Season 2, the Luis Fonsi episode. Luis Fonsi recorded and released Pipobeats’ track “Sway” as a result, and the song hit the #1 spot on the iTunes Music Chart in the US. He has performed on national and international stages for thousands of viewers around the world while touring and on Asian and Chilean television. Pipobeats’ music has been streamed and played on over 700 college stations and has been featured in various digital and print publications. His fans can also look forward to a single in Spanish and English that will be coming soon.

This episode is brought to you by Own Your Day with a CEO Dashboard!

Pam was one of those people who would have a notebook for different things, one for notes, one for quick notes, one for client notes, one for book notes, and at the end of the day, she would be lost not knowing where she wrote what. Sounds familiar?

If you are a business owner who wants to get organized, then you need a dashboard. After trying many systems and ways to keep track of her business and to-do lists, Pam wanted to find a way to have a centralized location for everything, so she created her CEO Dashboard. She shared it with clients and friends and they loved it. And now, you can enjoy it too, she has created the Own your Day with a CEO Dashboard workshop and as a Cafe con Pam listener, you can enjoy an 11% off. Head over to myceodashboard.com enter the code MANIS and start owning your day!

You’ve heard me talk about this EFT tapping and you’re curious.

It’s a tool created to help you collapse and reduce the emotions we are going through.
I actually started tapping back in 2007 and it changed my life. Tapping has helped me recover from procrastination, feel calmer, and tapping has even helped me manifest money.
When the pandemic hit and George Floyd was murdered, I felt a ton of fear and sadness around us so I went to Instagram and started tapping for all of us. You liked it and asked for more.
So now, we can tap together every week on Patreon.
I want everyone to have access to this incredible tool so you can join my self-priced membership where you choose-what-you-pay and benefit from the power of this awesome practice.

Embracing Your Identity with Kimberly Bautista

Sun, 06 Sep 2020 20:46:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we're back with Kimberly Bautista.

Kimberly is a Colombian-American award-winning writer, director, and producer. Her feature-length documentary “Justice for My Sister” about one Guatemalan woman’s determination to hold her sister’s killer accountable was broadcast on PBS Stations and TeleSUR. Part of an international campaign with UN Women throughout Latin America to end violence against women, the film encouraged audiences to break the silence about abuse. This laid the groundwork for Kimberly to found an arts nonprofit to train women of color, gender nonconforming youth, and former foster youth to make films, heal through storytelling, and overcome financial barriers to entering the TV and film industries.

Kimberly’s comedic pilot The “SweetSpot”—about a group of friends who contend with modern-day adulthood and an unconventional love triangle—premiered at the 2017 Outfest Fusion Film Festival. She’s directed 6 music videos for feminist hip hop artists, over 30 short social justice documentaries, 6 branded content spots, and co-wrote a short film about machismo in Latino families, accumulating over 22 million views.

Kimberly’s magical realism TV pilot script about women’s power to heal “Elemental Powers” was presented as a stage reading at The Second City’s LA Diversity in Comedy Festival. Kimberly’s feature film in development about a 13-year-old girl who’s secretly in a punk-ska-cumbia band against her parents’ wishes “19.99 Plus Tax” was invited to Cine Qua Non Lab’s screenwriting residency in Mexico.

Kimberly has received fellowships from Brown Girls Doc Mafia, HOLA Mexico Film Festival, HBO, the National Association of Latino Independent Producers, Ford Foundation, and several U.S. Embassies. She is a multi-grant recipient of the Princess Grace Foundation and Latino Public Broadcasting.

Living in Alignment with Charisse M. Williams

Thu, 02 Jul 2020 15:49:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we have a conversation wit Charisse M. Williams.

A lawyer by training, Charisse worked in the nonprofit and social justice sectors for 25 years at organizations focused on human rights, education, criminal and juvenile justice reform issues. In her executive leadership roles, she consistently attained ambitious goals including launching program sites in new cities, raising millions of dollars and recruiting dozens of board members and volunteers.

Over the course of her career, Charisse has taught and facilitated retreats and workshops for adults and teens in settings as diverse as board rooms, juvenile detention centers, alcohol and drug rehab centers, and college and university campuses.

Her first stint as an entrepreneur was as a consultant. She eventually decided to embrace the role of “coach” because coaching is a partnership driven by her clients. She is at her absolute best helping others find their own answers while she offers facilitation, guidance, tools and resources.
In 2015 her personal health and wellness journey led me to become a certified yoga teacher. This began a new chapter in her quest to become a more mindful leader on and off the yoga mat. It is in part because of yoga, meditation, and other mindfulness practices that she has come to create the career and life of her dreams. Charisse no longer needs work/life balance, because she has something even better—alignment. Everything she does personally and professionally is aligned with her values, her gifts and her calling.

Charisse is destined to be a resource to others who are on a similar journey of personal and professional discovery and growth.

I truly enjoyed my conversation with Charisse, she is a fellow coach and we went to the same coaching school. Even though this interview was recorded before the murders of Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd (among all others), Charisse and I still talked about systemic racism and how women of color exist in the workplace.

Charisse and I cover a lot of things including:

Growing up in the south side of Chicago
How Charisse knew Michelle Obama
Embracing a non-linear life
Impostor syndrome
Systemic racism in the United States
Asking for help

Using Your Voice with Chelsea Rendon

Sat, 20 Jun 2020 20:59:00 +0000

Manis, this week we had cafecito with Chelsea Rendon.

Born and raised in Montebello, California, Chelsea Rendon has been a working actress since the age of six. Her first role was a lead in the feature film No Turning Back, which won the Alma award for Outstanding Independent Feature Film in 2002. Recipient of a Young Latinos In Hollywood award, Chelsea has been known to portray dominant roles for over a decade. Most recently, she is recognized for her role as a young “woke” activist ‘Mari’ in STARZ’s hit drama Vida. The series premiered to stellar reviews and was named one of the top shows of 2018 and 2019 and received 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. One of the fan favorites, Chelsea’s character is from the Eastside of LA where Chelsea herself grew up.

Chelsea was born for drama on television. At a young age her television work kicked off with guest roles on E.R., The Shield, and Judging Amy. She went on to recur on Freeform’s The Fosters and the hit Showtime series Shameless. Most recently, she guest starred on the brand new CBS series All Rise.

Equally as dedicated to film, Chelsea has brought her talents to Disney’s McFarland, USA, and the Oscar-nominated film A Better Life. She can also be seen in Netflix’s original hit Bright alongside Will Smith and Netflix horror film Thriller. Chelsea recently starred in the immigration drama, The Infiltrators. The film mixed documentary with narrative dramatization premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in early 2019. Directed and produced by Alex Rivera and Cristina Ibarra, the film centers on a small group of young undocumented immigrants who embark on a high-risk mission inside America’s for-profit detention system in order to set people free. Teaming up again with Bright director, David Ayer, Chelsea stars in the upcoming gritty American crime thriller, The Tax Collector, alongside Shia LaBeouf, Lana Parilla, and George Lopez.

As an actress who is attracted to empowering female roles, Chelsea draws inspiration from the likes of Viola Davis and Mariska Hargitay, and hopes to one day produce her own content and try her hand in directing.

During our conversation, Chelsea and I talked about her story, growing up in Los Angeles, her love for Latinx brands, and how her character Mary in Vida changed her.

The Gift of Struggle with Bobby Herrera

Mon, 15 Jun 2020 04:36:00 +0000

Manis this week we're back with Bobby Herrera.

Bobby believes that everyone deserves an opportunity to succeed and is an unwavering champion for the underdog. He’s cofounder and CEO of Populus Group—one of the fastest-growing HR services companies in the United States with annual revenue of $500 million and many Fortune 100 customers. As one of thirteen children in a migrant family he learned the value of hard work, rising early and putting in long hours in the fields. After high school, boot camp became his ticket of opportunity. He serves on national community organization boards and is a regular speaker at corporations and service groups. He is a proud Army veteran. Bobby is most proud of his family—his wife Roslyn and their three children Santino, Griffith, and Sofia live in Portland, Oregon.
This episode sponsor is Planned Parenthood. Book a telehealth appointment with a Planned Parenthood doctor or nurse today. Learn more at plannedparenthood.org/telehealth.

During our conversation, Bobby shares his infamous bus story and why that day at 17 years old, his life changed. Bobby talked about his days in the military, being the son of a bracero and how he reframed what happened to him into leadership lessons.

Being The Strong One with Angie Sanchez

Mon, 08 Jun 2020 05:48:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we're back with Angie Sanchez' story.

Angie was born and raised in Sonoma Valley as the oldest of 7 children and proud daughter of Mexican immigrants. Coming from a low income, mixed immigration status household she experienced firsthand the struggles and inequalities that many Latino families continue to live with today. At a young age, she understood that to overcome discrimination and inequalities we needed to ensure that Latinos have a place and a voice. That experience led to her commitment to non-profit work for more than twelve years focusing on enhancing the Latino economic, cultural, and civic leadership that reflects the population of the Latino community in Sonoma County. Most recently Angie was awarded the 2019 North Bay Business Journal Latino Leadership Award and North Bay Young Professionals 'Ones to Watch' for 2020.

Currently, Angie has been working on building a foundation to amplify and deepen the voice of Latinos through civic engagement. With the support of the Latino Community Foundation, she created a game called Censotería which is based on the popular Mexican game Lotería. The game was designed as a creative initiative to teach about the upcoming census in an educational, fun, and culturally relevant way. The game is now being used as part of the outreach strategy by other Latino led organizations all over California and other states to educate predominantly Latino immigrant communities about the importance of participating in the 2020 Census.

In her free time, she enjoys traveling, attending live music concerts, and BBQing with family and friends.

This episode was recorded as the pandemic began. I want to thank you for supporting the previous episode for non-Black Latinx and how to talk about race with your kids and family. I am continuing to educate myself to continue to show up with content that can help us dismantle our own racial biases. I want to do it with respect to our Black brothers and sisters and our Afrolatinx community also.

Dismantling our own racial bias will take work and I understand one episode is not enough to complete our work. The work must continue on and offline, when the protests are happening on the street and when people decide to go home. At Cafe con Pam we are committed to standing by our core values: Community, Freedom, Curiosity, Impact, and Integrity. This show began with the purpose to amplify Latinx and People of Color.

Below are new resources we have found to help you with your unlearning process towards ending systemic racism in the U.S. and the world.

Let's Tap About Mom

Mon, 11 May 2020 05:57:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we're back with another rapidín episode.

This time we tap (Emotional Freedom Technique) about the feelings we get around Mother's Day.
While EFT and its various applications have produced remarkable results, practitioners and members of the public must take complete responsibility for their use of it. Individuals need to take responsibility for their own health and wellbeing. EFT is not a substitute for competent consultations with medical doctors, psychologists or psychiatrists. As EFT is not meant to replace qualified medical advice, please consult medical professionals regarding your health. If using EFT while you are taking medication for conditions such as diabetes, high or low blood pressure, thyroid conditions or heart conditions it is advisable that you be closely monitored by your doctor. Do not alter your medication dosage without consulting your doctor. EFT can have an effect on you that may require adjustments to your medication on medical advice. EFT is a complementary aid for improving wellbeing.

Listeners, we're finally back this week with a new episode with Dr Lydiana Garcia.

Dr. Lydiana Garcia is a Boricua licensed psychologist in LA that specializes in facilitating healing trauma and overcoming life’s adversities via her private practice, The Beyond Resilience Life podcast (bilingual En/Sp), and through her digital program The Healing Village. She has been featured in Univision 34, Telemundo 52, FierceByMitu, EstrellaTV, The Los Angeles Psychological Association and HipLatina.

Let's Tap About It: COVID-19

Fri, 20 Mar 2020 21:33:00 +0000

Hello listeners, we are finally back today with a rapidín episode. I come solo to talk about this pandemic we're living in and also to share with you what EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) or also known as Tapping is.

During this episode we go over what my thoughts are on the virus and we close with a quick introduction to tapping and a quick tapping round to release stress and bring in joy for the day.
To look at the tapping points, you can go to gum.co/pamcircletap and you can also leave a donation for the tapping circles I've hosted during this time.

One thing I didn't mention in the episode is that as we tap, you will feel your body release the energy in different ways. You can yawn, burp, sneeze, cough, and/or cry. As we tap along, allow yourself to release, that is your body's way of letting go of that which no longer serves it.

You can find the Hawkins Scale of Emotions in this post.
----
Please note that EFT is NOT used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or psychological disorder. EFT is not a substitute for medical or psychological treatment. By listening to this you assume and accept full responsibility for any and all risks associated with participating in this podcast and using EFT.

From Family Separation and Homelessness to Running for Congress with Joaquín Vázquez

Mon, 02 Mar 2020 03:32:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Joaquín Vázquez!

Joaquín Vázquez is a first-generation Mexican American, born and raised by working-class undocumented immigrant parents in San Diego.

Joaquín has a vast history in the community as an organizer, serving individually and in various progressive advocacy organizations. He’s fought to bring justice for working class and marginalized families in poverty at all levels of government; from fighting against displacement locally to achieving equitable public education funding in Sacramento. Under President Obama's administration, Joaquín worked on federal economic, environmental, and labor policy. On the international stage, he fought for refugee justice and for the most vulnerable countries to get a seat at the table at the United Nations in Switzerland. Now, Joaquín is fighting for the people of California's 53rd Congressional District to have a voice in Washington, DC and fight the Trump agenda.

TW: We talk about family separation and homelessness. Your mental health is important.
During our conversation, Joaquín shares his childhood and how he witnessed his father's deportation to now running for Congress.

You will also hear me give you an update of what happened this week and the lessons I learned in the last few days.

The NY Times article I quoted on the show is here.

Love the melanin in your skin and the curls in your hair with St. Clair Detrick-Jules

Mon, 17 Feb 2020 04:27:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with a conversation with St. Clair Detrick-Jules.

Born and raised in Washington, DC, St Clair is the daughter of a first-generation Afro-Caribbean immigrant father and an American mother. Growing up in “Chocolate City”—as DC was affectionately called, pre-gentrification—St Clair was surrounded by Black excellence. And by “Black excellence” this doesn’t exclusively refer to the Black people who “make it out of the hood”; but also referring to the Black neighbors who fed others when times were rough, to the next-door neighbor Sheila who cornrowed hair for all the little girls on Meridian Place, to the single Black mothers on the block who successfully, lovingly raised their kids—and then their grandkids—on their own.

St. Clair was educated (outside of the classroom) by other students of color who protested a campus presentation, and it was then that she realized the importance of fighting for justice and opposing inequalities. From them, St. Clair learned the importance of speaking up against injustice.
St. Clair toured (and still occasionally do, upon request) with DACAmented on college and high school campuses across the country.

When St. Clair studied abroad in Ecuador in 2016, she worked closely with one of her professors to create a curriculum for her semester entitled “Black Bodies in the Latin American Diaspora,” which gave her the chance to travel around Ecuador to meet with Black communities, which in turn expanded her ideas of Blackness (and, of course, hair was a part of her studies). Further, St Clair was also able to take courses across a broad range of disciplines—in the Ethnic Studies, Africana Studies, Philosophy, Anthropology, Modern Culture and Media, and Visual Arts departments, all of which have given her the traditional academic background necessary to create this project—and especially to edit, organize, and arrange the far-ranging narratives which comprise Dear Khloe.
We talk about all the things including growing up in a Black and Brown neighborhood, growing up with two cultures, and natural hair for Black women.

Wellness, Healing, And Liberation With Dr. Rocio Rosales Meza

Tue, 28 Jan 2020 03:08:00 +0000

Listeners, we are back this week with Dr. Rocio Rosales Meza.

Dr. Rocio is a Xicana Indigenous woman and mama. She is an intuitive, an energy worker, and a coach facilitating mental, emotional, and spiritual healing to Black, Indigenous, women of color from a decolonial perspective. She is the first generation born on this side of the colonial border. Her parents are “immigrants” and her family originates from what is now known as Cuautitlan, Jalisco, Mexico. She was raised in Santa Ana and is committed to her community and working towards collective healing and liberation. She is honored to be used as a vessel for this work by Spirit, her guides, and her ancestors.

This episode is full of wisdom and nuggets of love for you. We explored what it is like to be the first to graduate from school, how Dr. Rocio went to explore a plant-based diet, and how the birth of her child began her spiritual awakening. Dr. Rocio and I talk about why some people get uncomfortable when we talk about colonialism.

You Have A Story To Tell with Diana Diaz

Mon, 18 Nov 2019 03:44:00 +0000

Listeners this week we have a conversation with Diana Diaz.

Diana is a skilled facilitator, keynote speaker, mitú writer, storyteller, and Founder of Real Authentic Women Wellness (RAWW), a revolutionary nonprofit focused on breaking mental and sexual health related stigmas for women. As a wife, mother of 4-year-old twins, and survivor of severe anxiety herself, Diana is an avid advocate for mental wellness. She was motivated by her life experiences to create RAWW as a way to initiate informed dialogue in safe and welcoming nonclinical spaces. Named RAWWTalks, these events draw upon the art of storytelling to cover topics of depression, anxiety, sexual empowerment, sexual trauma, sex education, mental abuse and many more subjects that are typically considered taboo. After interacting with the women impacted by RAWW’s work, she realized that there was a need for a tailored program that guides women in developing their voice. She found that most women had a story they wanted to tell but didn’t know how to tell it effectively. This led Diana to create the Your Story to Tell Academy, a 10-week storytelling coaching program to help women craft their own impactful narrative. Not only do women leave with a polished 6-10-minute personal story tested for public delivery, but they also gain skills and resources that will nourish all parts of their life moving forward. Recently, Diana was awarded the Community Champion of the Year by the Central California Hispanic Chamber of Commerce and was selected to perform as an official Storyteller at the 2019 #WEALLGROW Summit.

Diana is amazing and I love how she noticed there was a need in the community for her to share about mental health and break the stigma. You're definitely going to love this conversation as it will inspire you and empower you to keep pushing forward.

Navigating Privilege with Taylor Tieman

Mon, 11 Nov 2019 05:58:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Taylor M. Tieman, Esq.

Taylor M. Tieman Esq. is an Attorney & Latina Business & Brand Advocate. She played competitive softball her entire life and was recruited to play Division One softball at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia.

After college, Taylor returned to Los Angeles to attend Southwestern Law School, one of the most diverse law schools in the nation. As the first lawyer in her family, Taylor sought out the supportive community of the Latino Law Students Association at Southwestern, where she eventually was named president. Taylor is currently a member of the Latina Lawyers Bar Association and focuses on mentoring incoming and current Latina law students.

Taylor's legal background is in consumer protection law, but she found that she could better serve business owners and entrepreneurs by sharing her legal knowledge with them. Taylor specifically loves counseling and supporting Latinx entrepreneurs by sharing her own experiences as a fellow Latinx business owner. She assists with all areas businesses and entrepreneurs need to pay “legal attention” to, some of which include: business formation and counseling, intellectual property protection, contract drafting and review, podcast legal consulting, website legal compliance.
This episode was great and I hope you enjoy our conversations as much as I did.

Existing is Exhausting with Sara Mora

Mon, 04 Nov 2019 04:55:00 +0000

Listeners this week we're back with Sara Mora.

This episode was recorded in the car on a trip from LA to San Diego so bare with us and the background noise.

Sara Mora is a national immigrant rights activist who began her activism at the short age of 14. Now 22 years old, Sara spends her time leading national campaigns and efforts to build consciousness and a call to action immigration reform matter.

Known as @MissSaraMora on social media globally, Sara has become a sought-after voice in the work of social change and community empowerment. A college student, influencer, digital media strategist, Sara has dedicated her youth to being a symbol of empowerment and courage in the face of adversity. From the very short age of 10, Sara served as a youth voice at her local church and community organization. In highschool, Sara led conversation around the importance of empowering young students who like her were in need of role models. When she graduated high school she debuted as an activist when interviewing at the time President of Costa Rica, Luis Guillermo Solis(2014-2018) on DACA and questioning external countries role in supporting young people with DACA.

After the Trump administration cruelly terminated the DACA program in September 2017, Sara Mora decided to come out publicly as undocumented, a leader for young people who are beneficiaries of the DREAM act. She is an organizer, digital guru and media strategist.

Sara has been a model for many young people who are facing one of the most uncertain and frightening times in their lives. She has mentored youth, given presentations to hundreds of high school students on community organizing, college access and immigrant rights issues and has motivated countless others to join the immigrant rights movement.

Listeners, Sara and I had a lot of fun chatting, even though it was in the car and the sound is not the best, we hope you learn and get inspired to take action. Because every granito de arena cuenta.

Reclaiming Your Pleasure with Ianne Celeste Rivera

Sun, 29 Sep 2019 23:32:00 +0000

Listeners, this week we're back with the magical Ianne Celeste Rivera.

Ianne is a southern California girl, born and raised, a proud Bruin, devoted Beyonce stan, unabashed makeup lover, and a seeker of the spirit in all. Her whole life she’s lived with curiosity and wonder, fascinated by her own human being-ness. It was this interest that led her to a career as a research scientist. Ianne has dedicated 10+ years to the study of the inner-workings of us! This career has taken her far and wide, across the world and back. Along the way, Ianne was guided to an even deeper study of ourselves; the study of our spiritual nature and the divinity of our sexuality and sensuality. Prompted by the experience of what she calls her spiritual awakening in 2012, she has since been intuitively guided by her eternal mantra and process, "release to receive to give". With this intention in tow, Ianne sought to find a way to combine her science background with the spiritual. It began to unfold as she became a certified Yoga teacher as well as a Reiki practitioner, and Meditation guide. With an M.A. in Psychology in Education, Ianne has gained a mastery of knowledge in eroticism and healing along with her own personal experiential knowledge, all which allow her to support her clients as a holistic pleasure coach, to discover their sacred sexual power and to uncover the divine in their sensuality.

During this episode, Ianne and I talked about her experience as a scientist, having tough mentors, putting fear in the back seat, and reclaiming pleasure.

Ianne shares with us some practices we can put in place so we can allow ourselves to feel and reclaim our sensuality.

Disclaimer: Ianne and I have adult conversations about pleasure and sexuality, so if you have sensitive ears about this topic, please listen to it when you're alone.

So Much More with The Latina Medium Zulema Arroyo Farley

Sun, 22 Sep 2019 23:18:00 +0000

Listeners we're back this week with an amazing episode. This week we had a conversation with Zulema Arroyo Farley, also known as The Latina Medium.

Zulema is an author, psychic medium, sarcoma survivor, and philanthropist. Zulema was an accomplished senior advertising and marketing executive, known for revitalizing numerous Fortune 500 brands. She is the founder, board chairman, and president of Artz Cure Sarcoma Foundation, a non-profit created with her husband to raise awareness and research funds to find targeted chemotherapy treatment options for sarcoma as none exist in the United States. In 2016, Zulema was named one of People en Español’s 25 Most Powerful Women. In 2018, she surprised the world by confessing a lifelong well-kept secret—she’s a psychic medium. Since then, Zulema serves as the conduit to reconnect people with loved ones that have crossed over. She currently resides in Manhattan with her husband and continues to fight an on-going battle against sarcoma and several chronic autoimmune diseases.

I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did. I truly admire Zulema's resilience and passion for helping others connect with their loved ones that have crossed over.

Radical Acceptance With Leah Garza

Mon, 16 Sep 2019 06:41:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Leah Garza also known as Crystals of Altamira.

Leah is consumed with liberation. Physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, social. As a teacher, and as a student, she saw education as a way to spread liberation. Leah works with students and families living in poverty, in the cycles of incarceration, domestic violence, non-traditional economies. She teaches because she knows that when people who live in dire conditions are given the power to think critically, they can understand that they are not condemned to live the life society has identified for them. They can become power agents and advocates and they become liberated and liberate the people around them. This is the crux, the very heart of education for Leah. With each student, lesson, class, syllabus, mistake, reflection, piece of research, with each day she teaches, she becomes more and more free too.

Crystals of Altamira was born at first to make crystal accessories that people could use to tap into crystal healing. As time passed, and the election of 2016 happened, Leah delved ever deeper into finding her purpose- what is her role as a teacher and how is spirituality involved. The answer has been the evolution of Crystals of Altamira into a house of healing. This is a place designed to help you believe, when you feel like you’re losing faith. Leah believes we can transform society, in fact we are being pushed to do it now. But if we never heal the traumas and wounds that reside in us, we will never find true liberation. Amid the chaos and despair, Leah has confidence in your ability to heal yourself. She believes radical healing is possible because you are powerful, and after all, healing is your birthright.

During our conversation, we talk about her dad, hitting rock bottom, surrendering, and radically accepting who we are. Leah also talks about her work with the Akashic Records and when/how to work with them.

Listeners this week we're back with Dario Guerrero.

Dario Guerrero was brought to this country when he was two years old and like a true bad hombre overstayed his tourist visa. His story first received national attention in September 2014 when he published an essay in the Washington Post titled “I told Harvard I was an undocumented immigrant. They gave me a full scholarship.” Following up on this story, a Telemundo news crew reached out to Dario and found him living in his grandmother’s home, some 3,000 miles away from school in the crime-ridden, massive slums of Nezahualcoyotl just outside Mexico City. Dario’s story again made headlines, this time under the guise of “Harvard student took his dying mom to Mexico, now he’s not allowed to leave.” This is the subject matter of the present film. This is the story of ROCIO. Dario runs a mentoring and boxing class in his hometown of Carson, California.

Listeners, we're back this week with Anthony Cruz!

Anthony grew up a multi-sport athlete. One thing he wanted to achieve was becoming bigger, faster, and stronger (like any other athlete). Anthony began looking up anything and everything about working out and sports performance. When his teammates noticed the increased muscle and quickness on the field, they wanted in on the action so Anthony started training them. Seeing them get similar results, his love and journey for coaching began. Anthony's mission is to improve health, performance, and ultimately safety to all military, fire, and police in Southern California. He currently works with over dozens of veterans, first responders, and active duty military. Anthony also works with these populations online all across the country to get them and keep them performing their best in their respective service fields.

It All Starts With Self-Love with Maydelli Mendoza

Mon, 12 Nov 2018 03:27:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with Maydelli Mendoza.

Maydelli is the founder of Healing with Self Love and Raw Love by May. She is passionate about healing at all levels, this comes from her own personal struggle with depression after finding out she was undocumented. Her journey to healing came from a variety of places. As she healed at a spiritual, mental, emotional and physical level, she became a Reiki Master and a Soul Synchronicity meditation expert from the Oneness University in India. Maydelli graduated with a B.A. degree in Sociology and she is eager to start her Master Program in Clinical Psychology. With more than ten years experience in the Restaurant Industry, she hopes to revolutionize the way we look at food which is the reason why she started her Vegan Catering company Raw Love by May. Maydelli realized the major role her food choices were playing in the way she felt physically. Once she understood that, she made food one of her healing tools. She wants others to find healing from past childhood traumas, traumatic events thru yoga, meditation, energy healing, good high vibrational foods and finding their way back to self-love. As well as helping other women to live on purpose for their purpose.

Maydelli shares her incredible story with us and we can't wait to hear your thoughts.

The Value of Storytelling with Giovanna Sarquis

Mon, 24 Sep 2018 05:49:00 +0000

Listeners we're here this week with some tea and Giovanna Sarquis!

Writer / Director, Giovanna Sarquis was born and raised in Mexico City. Her cultural background has played a major role in the way she approaches storytelling and filmmaking. Ever since she was a little girl she remembers writing stories and poems; however, while growing up filmmaking was not an encouraged career. Filmmaking gave her happiness though and she believed that she had no other option but to follow her passion and become a storyteller. She pursued her dream and graduated from the American Film Institute in Los Angeles with an MFA in Screenwriting in 2017.

Culture continues to play a large role in Giovanna’s filmmaking career. Giovanna likes to call her genre magical realism. In this, she explores the human condition and the adversity that can be seen in the world. She hopes that through her films, people can feel empathy or connect with the struggles faced by the main character. In her films, she likes to blend the rawness of humanity with fantasy or magic. Her hope is that through her films she can give other the emotional outlet that she felt when she watched some of her favorite movies, such as Blue Jasmine, growing up.

Since beginning her career, Giovanna has been involved in numerous film and new media projects, both on her own and in collaboration with others. She has written and directed short films and she’s received two awards and five nominations, including “Best Short Film” and “Best Director”.

Giovanna was the co-creator of her latest project, “Before I Got Famous,” a web series of which she directed all ten episodes and is currently streaming on Revry, and other platforms.

Her recent scriptwriting projects include “Ascension” a sci-fi/thriller feature film, “Lipstick” a television pilot and coming-of-age drama entitled “Starry Night.” She is currently writing a full-length script called “Cupcakes,” a short comedy she created in 2016 that is now being developed as a feature film.

So many topics were covered during this talk and also Giovanna asks me what my remedy is.

On Creating Your Own Story with Rudy Guisbert

Sun, 26 Aug 2018 23:44:00 +0000

Hello listeners! This week we're back and we have a conversation with Rudy Guisbert.

After 14 years of being a Systems Administrator, Rudy decided that he needed a break from the routine and quit his job to travel to Latin America.

This journey allowed him to meet beautiful people, explore amazing sites and venture into the most extraordinary coffee farms. Rudy found something in common that unites most Latino countries, this is called coffee. Rudy developed a strong bond with a number of farmers and producers across several Latin American countries such as Bolivia, Peru and Colombia. The more he connected with these farmers, the more he felt responsible for sharing their stories and product with the world.

Now Rudy is an exclusive coffee merchant, he brings coffee directly from small coffee farms in Latin America, and works only in small batches of top-quality beans. The product comes in ready to sell, all the roasting, packaging, and branding is done in Latin America. Rudy is now proud of his company Cocotu because he’s able to offer chemical-free, exclusive organic coffee beans that are produced through sustainable means.

Listeners, Rudy tells us how he went from working in Corporate America to creating the business of his dreams by traveling to South America.

I hope you get inspired with this one and share it if you think someone you know needs this message

Wed, 20 Jun 2018 16:24:00 +0000

Hello listeners! This week we have a conversation with Chef Emmanuel Piqueras.

SPANISH EPISODE AHEAD! Time to practice your skills and enjoy my Mexican and his Peruvian accents.

As the Culinary Ambassador to the U.S. and Canada through Peru’s official tourism authority, Chef Emmanuel Piqueras has generated a new appreciation for Peruvian cuisine in North America.
Highly regarded for Sabor y Fusion, his popular food show on Latin America’s largest international cable network, Piqueras began his career at Arzak (Michelin Guide Three Stars; World’s 50 Best Restaurants). Chef Piqueras went on to lead the kitchens as Executive Chef of Andina (Portland, OR), Mixtura (Seattle, WA), Limon (San Francisco, CA), and Panca (New York City, NY) among others. Now, as Executive Chef/Partner of Pisco Rotisserie & Cevicheria, Piqueras is excited to bring his Novoandina-style cuisine, largely influenced by his experiences growing up in Lima, to Southern California.

After the success of the flagship Pisco Rotisserie & Cevicheria in Liberty Station, Chef Piqueras has launched its second location in Carlsbad in January 2018 alongside business partner and veteran restaurateur Sami Ladeki.

Using Your Voice with Elsie Escobar

Wed, 02 May 2018 03:03:00 +0000

Hello listeners!

This week we have a conversation with Elsie Escobar.

Elsie Escobar is a ten year plus veteran in the industry and inductee into the Academy of Podcasters Hall of Fame. She knows the heart and soul of podcasters and podcasting beyond Apple Podcasts and public media. It is with this primary point of view of the average podcast listener (via thousands of hours of podcast listening) and independent podcast producer that Elsie brings a unique perspective to the podcasting industry.

Her passion within the industry is podcasting’s rapidly-changing environment, impact, access, community building, and advocacy.

Elsie welcomes the opportunity to elevate existing conversations around podcast consumption and initiate ways to reach new listeners above focusing on metrics, advertising and monetization into social change and using podcasting as a tool for personal growth and transformation.

Elsie has a mentorship group The E-League and it went live for the Spring session this April 2017.
Elsie’s biggest focus is on "podcasting advocacy" meaning bringing awareness about podcasting and podcasters to those that don't know about it, or that don't know "all the things."

We talked about all the things from living in El Salvador to studying theatre and how Elsie got into podcasting back in 2006.

Rapidín, Forgiveness

Fri, 13 Apr 2018 15:01:00 +0000

Listeners, we're back this week with a solo episode.

I have been called to tell this story for a few months now. I'm not sure why? I've been trying to avoid doing so because many times I think nobody cares about my personal story. For some reason, the Universe continues to bring this back and perhaps, I'm supposed to share this with you. It's a story about the time I learned to forgive myself when I was hurt the most and I did one of the most painful things.

Now, I express nothing but gratitude for the dark moments so I can enjoy the bright ones. If you're going through a dark moment right now, remember that there's no rainbow without a little rain.

I was vulnerable on this one.

The 21st Century Man with Mark Halvorson

Thu, 29 Mar 2018 23:15:00 +0000

Hello listeners! We're back another week and this time we had a conversation with Mark Halvorson!
Mark is a computer hardware & software design engineer by trade, and an entrepreneur. He just started his third business called OkWhereSanDiego.com which helps native San Diegans, and visitors explore San Diego. It’s a database of things to do, but with each experience it provides all the needed info so there is nothing left to do but to just go have fun.

He’s also a Renaissance Man who has been able to put in his 10,000 hours in variety of areas that are all converging at this moment of his life and making his next venture possible.

He is in the process of writing a book called “The Badass 21st Century Man Handbook.” This book is the first of it’s kind. It helps men drop the straightjacket all men wear and helps them finish the job of becoming whole and complete men, who can thrive here in the 21st century where the rules have changed.

Listeners, this conversation with Mark happened outside of the coffee shop because there was a lot of music and chatter, so you will hear this time some outside noises like cars, trucks and buses driving by.

Content warning ahead, if you have the little ones in the car, please be mindful Mark and I talked a lot about human sexuality and he explained this fascinating method he came up with of identifying human identity. I first met Mark at my Toastmasters group and when he first showed me this method, I figured it was an important resource to share as support for the LGBTQ community in advocacy to end the intolerance they constantly with, as well as support social equity for everyone.

I want to highlight that Mark’s hand exercise is simply to help us understand other humans and prevent our own internal questioning about their identity. Ultimately, I want to encourage everyone to always respect individual’s preferences when it comes to identity labels, always ask, and please respectful, particularly with controversial ones (or ones with troubled histories) like "queer" or "fag."
Also, Mark and I talked about his new book the badass 21st-century man handbook and he shared his insight about the men confusion syndrome.

Conscious Parenting with Danellia Arechiga

Hello listeners! This week we had a conversation with Danellia Arechiga.

Danellia, is a single mother, full spectrum doula, childbirth educator, lactivist, placenta encapsulation specialist, and advocate for conscious, intentional, and peaceful parenting. She has spent the better part of her adult life trying to understand her cultural identity and in doing so, she has uncovered how cycles of emotional and physical abuse within our family lines can have a significant impact on how future generations can continue the cycle or break it. She is currently trying to raise awareness within the Latinx community about a more conscious way of parenting that starts as early as the birth. This parenting style encourages mutual respect between the parent and child and empowers children to speak their minds and share their ideas in hopes that they will break these cycles of abuse and trauma for future generations.

Whatever It Takes with Ruben Torres

Wed, 07 Feb 2018 18:28:00 +0000

Hello listeners!

Happy to be back and this week we had a conversation with Ruben Torres!

Ruben is a San Diego native deeply rooted in the Southern California's culture and lifestyle. Ruben started off his career as a musical performer and songwriter.

Ruben emerged into the business side of the music industry by sphere-heading the independent record label RESCUE RECORDS for rock band P.O.D., where he learned all aspects of the record industry.

In 2010 “Connected with Ruben Torres” was launched, which started the hype of directing, producing and shooting music videos and hosting an online cultural and lifestyle YOUTUBE TV show in which he has interviews with the Likes of Cheech Marin and clips with Musicians like P.O.D. and Snoop Dogg.

Realizing the attention and responsibility with branding a name within the community Ruben used his influence to help launch community charity events as well as his international Christmas-time toy drive “Love Thy Neighbor” for kids and families in Tijuana Mexico. These events sparked the idea to turn the LOVE THY NEIGHBOR MOVEMENT into a non-profit organization and since 2010 has been working on humanitarian efforts on both sides of the border.

Ruben has become a positive figure within San Diego / Tijuana and because of all of his efforts to help, Ruben has gained a foothold, within the Latino community as a cultural architect to empower and capture the minds & hearts of the community through visions of hope by inspiring and motivating others to pursue and fulfill their dreams.

You Don't Get to Complain about What You Allow with Jo Luehmann

Sat, 27 Jan 2018 04:45:00 +0000

Hello listeners! We are back with a new episode and this time we talked to Jo Luehmann!

Jo is a piece of the Luehmann Circus, Jo, is one of the members of the Luehmann Circus. They are a family of improving Christians. What that means is that they love God a lot, but they also have a lot of issues with Him and His church, and they are ok with that.

After Jo and her husband worked hard for years to build up a church, they did “whatever it took” and learned whatever they needed to learn to make this church “successful” they started to feel fake; they started to feel what they were doing was simply not consistent one with what they believed.

After a while, they gave into the feelings of “rebellion”, and they thought that if “submission” and maintaining the status quo made them feel like clowns playing a game of pretend, then they were going to be rebels. They needed to leave and walk towards God knows where, to figure out God knows what. They needed to become wanderers with more uncertainty than certainty, backpackers of faith who had no idea where they would lay their head for the season to come. They left in search of God and freedom and identity and destiny and a new life. They left knowing very little and with more questions than answers.

After they left the church they helped plant, the Luehmann's had to stand alone with no community and no actual direction, they discovered that they had permission to question everything. They were allowed now to be uncertain about all the things they had held as final truths because they realized nothing really was.

And this is how Jo welcomes you to their Circus. You won’t get a lot of absolutes, but you’ll have permission to be you.

Listeners, I had the opportunity to meet Jo years ago and reconnect with her when I photographed her family and I had to bring her words and wisdom to you. Her perspective of Christianity is completely different to what we are used to and I think you are going to enjoy her story.

Who is Supposed to Be Here Already is with Alma Tilghman

Sun, 14 Jan 2018 05:45:00 +0000

Hola listeners! We're back another week with a new guest! This time we talked to Alma Tilghman.
Alma can best be described by her Twitter profile: Matchmaker for corporate brands, non-profits and media outlets; advocate for #diversity #arts #film #TV. With life and career experience on both coasts; the bilingual and bicultural #superconnector is well-versed in the languages of Corporate America and the Arts.

Leading up to her role as Principal for Paper Planes Collective, Alma honed her unique set of skills through 15 years’ experience in sales, advertising and event marketing, beginning with her B.A. in International-Intercultural Studies from Fordham University. She laid the foundation for her career during the iconic 90s hip-hop era in New York City, working with leading entertainment publications, The Source and Vibe Magazine. Learning first-hand from visionaries like Jay-Z, Damon Dash and Steve Rifkind how to take small independent brands and turn them into household names, Alma helped jumpstart the groundbreaking early runs of music labels Roc-A-Fella Records and Loud Records, home of the Wu-Tang Clan.

As she kept pulse with the media landscape, Alma relocated to Los Angeles where she utilized her bilingual/bicultural/bi-coastal lifestyle to manage television advertising for clients like JP Morgan Chase, Ford, and Lexus in both the general and Hispanic markets, now regarded as the new multicultural mainstream. She also collaborated with Apple to create Campus MovieFest Mexico, Mexico’s first—and largest—student film festival.

Recently, Alma partnered with The National Association of Latino Independent Producers (NALIP) to secure strategic sponsorships for their annual Media Summit, and she was instrumental in producing the nationally televised ALMA Awards, the annual excellence awards of The National Council of La Raza (NCLR), the nation’s largest Hispanic civil rights organization.

The Los Angeles native serves on the advisory board for Latino Reel, a non-profit promoting Latino film at the Sundance Film Festival. She also volunteers time for United Friends of the Children, an at risk-youth program in South L.A.

Our conversation was awesome, Alma shared her experience growing up as a first-generation Mexican-American and how she always made sure to follow her dreams and her love of Hip-Hop. As an entrepreneur, Alma shares some of the lessons she's learned as well as some tips to stay organized.

If you find this episode of value to you, please share it with a friend and head over to your podcast platform and give us a rating.

Rapidín, Patience

Mon, 08 Jan 2018 05:13:00 +0000

Hello listeners! This week we're back with an espresso episode because the first week of 2018 went by too quick and I didn't want to start the second week without checking in.

How are you doing with your intention setting for 2018? I have been focusing on what is going to happen this year and as I got a bit inpatient, the Universe put this quote in front of me and I felt compelled to share it with you this week.

It is a Christian quote and even if you're not religious (I am not at all, but I believe that lessons can come in many forms)I think you can still look at the message behind the stories and trust the process.
Week 2 of 2018 we'll be back with an awesome episode and more announcements for you.

Rapidín, Because Goals

Sat, 30 Dec 2017 04:44:00 +0000

Hello listeners!

Last episode of 2017 and I wanted to bring you an episode to help you end the end right: a goal setting episode! As a recovering procrastinator, I have researched many ways of goal setting and I have found a formula that works for me.

First, we start with a 2017 review. We must acknowledge the year and be prepared to let it go.
If you were to name 2017. What would that name be?

2017 Review:
What did you accomplish?
What can you celebrate?
What lessons did you learn? If you can categorize them, that’s great
What meaningful connections did you make that helped you reach your goals?
What habits did you create or cultivate that help you spark your mind and body?
What are you excited to carry over from 2017 to 2018?

Then we set our intentions for each of the categories of our life wheel:

Relationships
Family
Personal Passions
Spiritual
Health
Business / Career

Now we're ready to set our 2018 goals. We're going to use the S.M.A.R.T. method:
S - SPECIFIC OR SIGNIFICANT
As many details as possible. What is it that you really want and why? For example, some people say go to the gym. Okay, a specific goal would be go to the gym 3x per week before work for 1 hour each time for the rest of the year.

M - MEASURABLE OR MEANINGFUL
This is the how. How will I know I completed the goal? How much change do I need to create in my life to make this happen? In the example we’re using, we can measure our small accomplishments each week, each month and ultimately by the year. We can establish parameters also, life happens. Using the gym example, you can say that you’re allowed to miss 2 workouts per month.

A - ATTAINABLE OR ACTIONABLE
Is this possible? Is it a reasonable stretch? Am I setting myself up for success?

R - RELEVANT OR REWARDING
Is this goal meaningful to me? Is this complimenting a slice of my life wheel? Is succeeding at this goal make me feel whole? Is this going to prevent me from achieving a more important goal? Am I ready to commit to these goals?

T - TIME-BOUND OR TRACKABLE
When will this goal be considered complete/accomplished?
When do I start taking action?

What immediate deadlines do I have to do today to get this goal started?
After we have our S.M.A.R.T. goals set, then we determine our rewards and feelings when the goal is achieved and we begin our milestone plan.

Lastly, we're going to write a contract where we commit to finish these goals!
Don't forget to sign up to the Cafe con Pam Accountability group where we go over goal setting and we have a community of people that are willing to complete their goals too! Head over to spreadideasmovepeople.com/accountability and sign up today.

Once a Caregiver, Always a Caregiver with Martha Rañon

Sat, 23 Dec 2017 16:55:00 +0000

Hello listeners, here we are at the last episode of 2017! This year flew by and I'm glad soon we will be able to say adios to this year.

This week, we have a conversation with Martha Rañon.

Martha, is the Director of Education & Programs for Southern Caregiver Resource Center. Martha first became a caregiver to her great aunt who was 93 and had Dementia. With little knowledge on how to be a Caregiver, Martha reached out to Southern Caregiver Resource Center and became a client they taught her the importance of self-care and knowing what the resources are. Martha now teaches classes and puts together workshops and conferences throughout San Diego County with the hopes of empowering caregivers everywhere to let them know that they don’t have to do this alone. That there is a network of care that is out there for you and you can access it and learn from others who are in the same situation.

This episode is relevant to this Holiday season because a lot of us are caregivers without realizing it. Like Martha said, just breathe. There are a lot of resources available and remember that self-care is so important.

Also, at the end of this episode, I give you a special announcement. So make sure you stay until the very end. I'm excited to launch the Cafe con Pam Accountability Group! Head over to spreadideasmovepeople.com/accountability to sign up and get updates.

Listeners, thank you for hanging out with me these last 12 months! See you again in 2018!

Stay shining!

Brown is Beautiful with Fernando Lopez

Fri, 01 Dec 2017 09:07:00 +0000

Hello listeners, here we are with another episode and this time we had a conversation with Fernando Lopez!

Fernando, is a restaurateur and entrepreneur. Alongside his three siblings, he owns LA’s iconic Guelaguetza restaurant and in 2014 branded and launched the delicious michelada mix, I Love Micheladas. The mix is available online and in over 150 retailers throughout the US and has been covered nationally by Vice, Los Angeles Magazine, GQ, Urban Daddy, and the LA Times.

Fernando was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and migrated to the US with his family in 1994. His family opened Guelaguetza restaurant and by the age of 12, Fernando was doing produce purchasing every week, and eventually worked most of the positions within the restaurant. Fernando graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a focus in Business Management, Economics, and Marketing in 2009.

In 2014 Fernando was chosen as one of Zagat's 30 under 30 in Los Angeles. Fernando also sits on the Regional Leadership Board for KPCC, the NPR station with the most growth in the Latino market nationwide, where he’s been serving for 2 years now and helping guide and shape the future of the station and the region. He was asked to sit on the board because of his commitment to, and vision of, Los Angeles and his community.

Listeners, this episode has been waiting to be released for over 3 months! The original interview got accidentally deleted, and this time we recorded for 4 hours! Finally, here is our conversation with Fernando. We talked about how his family migrated from Oaxaca, how the Lopez kids took over the restaurant and improved the operations to make it what it is today, and how the I Love Micheladas brand began.

Also, this is a different format because I had to essentially break the 4-hour interview into less than half of the time. Let me know what you think!

Please share this with a friend, and submit a 5 star rating at Apple Podcasts to improve visibility of the show.

Be Yourself, Be Creative, and Know that You’re Beautiful with Ashley Nell Tipton

Sat, 04 Nov 2017 01:18:00 +0000

Hello listeners, we are back another week and this time we had a conversation with Ashley Nell Tipton.

You may have heard of Ashley when she made history after becoming the first designer to win Project Runway with a final collection designed for plus-size women.

Ashley was born and raised in San Diego, California. The youngest of four children she had an early passion for fashion. Ashley learned to sew on her grandmother’s sewing machine when she was just seven years old.

One of her goals is to help full figured women feel good in what they wear and she hopes to be “THE” Full Fashion Designer. She understands what plus women want and would like to give curvy girls a chance to show their style with chic edginess.

Ashley says: “I pictured my muse roaming the streets of Paris unabashed and feeling confident in their stride while wearing designs that are not seen in full figure fashions today. The finished line is filled with bold colors and finesse… just like me!”

This one is a lengthy one, Ashley truly dives deep into her story and shares the criticism she's had to face from her family to people in social media, while creating her brand and also having so many women look up to her for being the first contestant to ever create a plus size women collection in Project Runway.

The Uncertain Future of Heirloom Maize with Fernando Laposse

Fri, 27 Oct 2017 20:24:00 +0000

Hello listeners, during this episode we have a conversation with Fernando Laposse.

Fernando is a London based Mexican designer with a BA in product design from Central Saint Martins. He was born in Paris, France and his work is deeply rooted in material experimentation and craft with a great emphasis on self-production and the DIY culture. Fernando strives to transform materials which are cheap, readily available, and often waste or perishable matter, enabling him to make crossovers between product design and gastronomy. His projects aim to raise questions regarding whole system thinking, ephemerality, patterns of consumption and the politics of food production through the creation of design objects, performances, and videos.

Totomoxtle is a project inspired by the relationship of Mexico with its maize by creating a surfacing material from naturally coloured, native corn husks. The process is simple, the husks are flattened and glued onto veneer or MDF which can be sawed and laser-cut to create tiles or marquetry for interiors and furniture.

Apart from creating a sustainable material, the project also aims to raise awareness about the uncertain future of heirloom maize and the people that harvest it using traditional methods in an increasingly globalized world.

On Being a Lawyer and Artist with Carolina Rubio MacWright

Wed, 28 Jun 2017 15:49:00 +0000

Hello listenters! This week we had a conversation with Carolina Rubio MacWright.

Carolina was born in Bogota, Colombia, where she lived until age 20, when a need for a safer place to call home was necessary. She went to art school but after graduation, she felt the need to understand the legal system, at which point she moved to Oklahoma City where she became a lawyer. Her time in Oklahoma's legal world opened her eyes to the realities of the broken American legal system as well as the immigration law system.

Carolina is currently an activist mixing law and art and engaging her immigrant community by empowering them with knowledge. Since the elections, she has been working harder with different organization like momsrising, chashama arts and her local counsel members.

We talked about her life in Colombia, her experience with being a young Latina lawyer, the workshops that she's hosting for immigrant moms and how the current immigration system is breaking families and traumatizing thousands of people, all while drinking coffee of course.
