In this episode we talk about what it means to be self empowered and to be IN POWER, cultural expectations that can impact how we move through the world particularly in our careers especially as Latinas, women of color, or if you're first gen – this feeling of not being good enough, the constant push for upward mobility and how sitting still can feel uncomfortable because we are so used to pushing through and trying to achieve that upward mobility for so many reasons (many of which are embedded in our own upbringings and culture and community). We also delve into the systemic barriers we face and what can be done to address them. Elisa has her own personal view of what we can do and where our power really lies in breaking down barriers.

Do you find it hard to accept what is and where things stand regarding a particular situation in your life? Do you find yourself resisting it? You wish things were different, but they aren't.

In this episode, I sit down with attorney, author, and Professor Lourdes to talk about how she pivoted in her career multiple times from being an attorney and working in the financial sector in various roles, to becoming a professor at Boston College. Lourdes and I discuss the importance of addressing your current state in life and taking the necessary steps to accomplish goals that may once have seemed unattainable. We discover commonalities in our Dominican upbringing that made it difficult for us to ask for help but reflect on the importance of networking and surrounding ourselves with people that will hold us to our highest potential. Lourdes' Email: germanL@bc.edu
In this episode, I talk to Accredited Financial Counselor Jessica Medina about leaving her legal career to put work-life integration and her own purpose front and center. Jessica is Dominican and Puerto Rican. She graduated from Columbia law school as a single mother to twins and with over $200k in student loan debt. To confront the financial burden she felt after graduating from law school, Jessica worked for a prestigious law firm. We discuss Jessica's transition from struggling with money in law school and working for a firm, to representing the federal government, to paving her own path to pursue her love of helping others create feasible financial plans so they can have joyful and fulfilling lives. We talk about the fear of change and discomfort, and how we can be so aware of something but yet not take action on it until later, and she drops some serious financial wisdom on us too.

In this episode, I share a letter I wrote to my first daughter when she was only months old three and half years ago. I wrote it in my notes app on my phone at 2:30am after nursing her. I had a lot on my mind and was worried about the world she had been born into. I needed her to know all the things I wished for her, hoped for her, and the things I wanted her to remember. Although I knew she couldn't read it and won't be able to read it for some years, she will read it one day. When I re-read this letter, I realized that this isn't just a letter for my baby girl, this is a letter of what I wish for all girls, especially Black and Latinx girls. And you will likely find (as I did) reminders in it that resonate regardless of how old you are. #thefutureisfemale For Arivee's weekly emails of motivation and inspiration, subscribe here.
