Trauma is a part of all of us. Sometimes it's trauma we know we carry, other times it's much more subtle, but it's still there.On my recent quiet drive, I began thinking about how I don't want to lead with the trauma or difficulties of motherhood and I began thinking about all the clients I've had who lead with their trauma and how it holds them back from living to the fullest.I'm not a trauma expert so I immediately thought about Maggie and asked if I could ask her some questions on the topic cause I wanted to make a podcast episode on it and write an article on it my BRAINZ magazine where I am an Executive Contributor.Maggie said "I'm making eggs for my little one, but definitely call me. I got you" and our conversation was so good I just grabbed it and put it directly into this episode. I hope it serves you.Margarita C. Lopez, LMHC, CCTP is the founder of National Therapeutic Alliance, and a trauma therapist with a mission to help people learn how to live a fulfilling life post-trauma. Margarita believes in a restorative approach to healing trauma. A combination of mind, body, and soul healing practices. During her 11 years in the field, Margarita has found that taking a slightly more relaxed approach to therapy helps clients feel more comfortable and helps to build rapport. She aims to have her clients feel seen, heard, understood, and most importantly safe. The concept behind her treatment is for clients to achieve a state of “restoration” within themselves and who they are.Show LinksEarly bird pricing for Media Marketing Mastermind.

There's so much about finance and how money works in this culture that is foreign to us as immigrants and first generation immigrants. The stock market is a perfect example of a huge wealth opportunity we often don't even consider, mainly cause of the fear of not understanding it. This is where Linda Garcia comes in. 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 her life's purpose: to help the Latine 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. She created a rapidly growing community of Latinx investors on Patreon and Instagram known as In Luz We Trust. Today Linda is a published author of Wealth Warrior: 8 Steps For Communities of Color to Conquer The Stock Market, self-made business owner, and a guiding Luz for thousands of POC looking to break free from limiting and toxic money mentalities. Linda's book can be purchased at Barnes & Noble, your local bookstore, and on Amazon as well as Audible. Linda's work has been featured on CNBC, Univision, Yahoo Finance, People En Español Forbes, and Bloomberg to name a few.Show LinksPurchase the book at www.inluzwetrust.com or at your local bookstore.

Once she defined her purpose, she knew what role she was going to play in the world. Thus, she set off to work as a trauma therapist with a mission to help people learn how to live a fulfilling life post trauma. Margarita believes in a restorative approach to healing trauma. A combination between mind, body and soul healing practices.During her 11 years in the field, Margarita has found that taking a slightly more relaxed approach to therapy helps clients feel more comfortable and helps to build rapport.

The concept of women empowerment has created a global movement that has driven many women to tap into their full potential and get out of their comfort zone. But has this concept evolved to do the oppositve of what it intended? Is Women Empowerment Actually Disempowering?Today's guest is Diana Perkovic. She's the founder of Good Girl Mafia, a female empowerment company, where "women supporting women" is more than just a cool catch phrase, it's a way of being. As an experienced Empowerment Coach, Diana has come to understand that the way to achieve empowerment amongst women is to cultivate, grow and unleash personal empowerment in one woman at a time. Diana knows firsthand what it's like to be perceived as confident and empowered, while feeling like the complete opposite. Confident enough to interview stars like Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Cary and Mary J Blige on live TV, yet still …disempowered. She couldn't make the life changes that were needed. Diana managed to get unstuck, pivot and thrive… fully empowered. Now she is on a mission to make the empowerment process much easier for other women.
