407: Planning Your Career for Different Eras of Life

Women are often told they can do or be anything. While that is certainly true sometimes we interpret this to mean that we must be everything, at all times.  
How often do you take the time to map out your career anticipating the different stages of your life? How do you plan or pivot when it’s time for something new? 
Dr. Violeta Garcia, systems designer and founder of Ecosistema Design talks with Diana Bernal about how to view your career through the different eras in your life. We talk about getting out of your comfort zone to try new things or even launch a business

402: Figure Out What You Need by Listening To Your Body

Figuring out what you need, and expressing that, can be hard and does not happen overnight.  Many Latinas have been raised and socialized in ways that impact our ability to name and prioritize our needs.  
Emma Pineda Fortin, Somatic Leadership Coach at Guerrera de la Luz Coaching, specializes in guiding women of color in finding and trusting their own voice by connecting with their bodies. 
Emma talks to Diana about the importance of connecting to our bodies and what we can learn when we pause, notice, and start serving ourselves what we truly need. How do we listen to our body’s signals and start giving ourselves more of the things that fill us up?
