21: Working From Home & Showing Up: How Intentional Dressing Builds Your Confidence in Business- Arreglate Anyway

Working from home quietly made getting dressed feel optional, right?, and that "harmless" shift can cost you more energy, focus, and confidence than you realize.  In this lifestyle-meets-business episode, I'm sharing what a non-business book — The Art of Intentional Dressing by celebrity stylist Erin Walsh — taught me about how we show up in our businesses, especially on the days we're not feeling 100%.  We talk about the difference between presentable and intentional, why confidence can be built from the outside in, a simple 5-minute reset before client calls, and the cultural power of arreglarse as self-respect rather than performance.  This one's a girls'-talk, so grab your cafecito.

19: I Hit a Hard Season in Business: Here's What It Taught Me

Sometimes entrepreneurship feels exciting and aligned… and sometimes it feels heavy. In this episode, I’m sharing a more personal and honest conversation about a challenging week in business, what it brought up for me, and how I’m learning to slow down instead of reacting from fear. After a difficult conversation with a client, I found myself reflecting on areas where I knew I could have been more proactive, especially around planning, diversification, and asking for support before things feel urgent. This episode is for the entrepreneur who feels overwhelmed, uncertain, or stuck in a season of reflection. If you’ve been questioning your direction, carrying stress quietly, or trying to hold everything together on your own, I want you to know you’re not alone. In this episode, we talk about: * Why slowing down is sometimes the most productive thing you can do * The importance of reflection and self-awareness in business * The emotional weight entrepreneurs carry behind the scenes * Learning to reconnect with your “why” and your North Star This conversation is a reminder that hard seasons happen to all of us, even when we know better. What matters is how we respond, how we reset, and how we keep moving forward with intention.
