I have a special guest today - Leticia Escamilla, a meditation teacher, mindfulness mentor, and transformational speaker.

In our conversation, Leticia and I explore the transformative power of mindfulness and self-awareness.

Leticia shares her journey from corporate life to entrepreneurship, highlighting how mindfulness practices have helped her manage stress and improve emotional well-being.

We discuss the impact of childhood experiences on adult behavior.

Practical mindfulness tools such as breath work, meditation, and journaling are shared, along with the significance of taking time for oneself to foster personal growth and improve relationships.

Mindfulness cultivates self-awareness. Self-awareness is the foundation of building Grounded Confidence.

I hope you enjoy listening.

Have you ever wondered if your definition of success is really yours—or if it’s been shaped by family, culture, or what others expect?

In this episode, I’ll take you through my journey from living by my mom’s idea of success to finding what truly matters to me.

For a long time, I chased titles, promotions, and outside approval. But without a clear, personal sense of success, I felt stuck and unsure of myself.

Today, I’ll guide you through a simple core values exercise to help you uncover what success means for YOU.

Identify Your Core Value Worksheet

We’ll look at moments when you felt joy, pride, and fulfillment and use these to identify three key values that reflect what truly matters to you.

With these values in mind, you’ll be able to make choices that feel right for you, building confidence that lasts and isn’t shaken by others’ expectations.

By the end, you’ll have a powerful tool to help you set your own path to success. Join me as we take this critical and meaningful step toward Grounded Confidence.

In this episode, I dive into the powerful connection between how you live, look, and feel, revealing how your physical state directly impacts your grounded confidence.

Today, I’m sharing my journey of physical transformation to show how building a strong connection with your body can shape your confidence. I used to struggle with constant breakouts, exhaustion, and insecurity despite trying every product and method out there. It wasn’t until I started prioritizing sleep, nourishing my body, and reducing stress that I noticed a real change—not just in my skin, but in how I felt about myself.

Through practical insights and personal experiences, I’ll explain why how you look is more than skin-deep—it reflects how you live. If you’re a successful yet self-doubting woman looking to feel unstoppable, this episode will inspire you to make small, meaningful changes to live better, look better, and feel more confident in every area of life.
