#156 - In this Spanish-speaking episode of DIFERENTE, I catch up with my BFF from Aguascalientes, Mexico Stephania Ramos, after more than 20 years of not seeing or speaking to one another. (That's a story for the next episode.) Steph and I talk about the multiple culture shocks we lived when we moved to the U.S., each of us at a different age, and how these experiences taught us how to love ourselves and our accents.
En este episodio de DIFERENTE, me vuelvo a conectar con mi BFF de Aguascalientes, Mexico-Stephania Ramos-después de mas de 20 años de no saber nada de ella. Platicamos sobre las adversidades que vivimos debido al choque cultural de mudarnos a Estados Unidos, y cómo estas experiencias nos enseñaron a amarnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestros acentos.

#155 - Arianna Davis, Senior Director of Editorial & Strategy at Oprah and Hearst Magazine's New Multiplatform Lifestyle Brand, and the author of "What Would Frida Do, A Guide to Living Boldly", joins me for this DIFERENTE conversation. We talk about the things we've learned, through Frida Kahlo's story, about sex, feminism and how not to be in a toxic relationship.
This Women's History Month, Frida's story reminds me that it's important to continue the discussion on intersectional feminism and feeling safe in our bodies regardless of sexual orientation.

#133: This is the second episode in a special six-episode series on Entrepreneurship. My guest this episode is Creative Strategist and founder of Social Mosaic Communications, Alex Santiago. Alex has been living his motto of "rebeldia" and creating with a purpose for many years. He works with brands with the goal to Transform Moments. Challenge the Norm and Make a Statement. And he believes in revolutionizing culture and the power of inspiring people through meaningful, branded experiences.
Alex is a native of Puerto Rico, and in this episode, he shares how his childhood struggles and experiences helped him become a unique kind of marketer, who understands American culture as a mosaic of cultures rather than a melting of identity to fit in. He knows the value of being diferente as a person and a brand.Follow Diferente on Instagram, Facebook, or find us online at diferentepodcast.com

In this episode of Diferente podcast, I wanted to explore the topic of fear and how it affects our confidence. And I invited Adriana Alejandre, a Licensed Clinical Therapist in California, to join us for the ride!
Adriana specializes in helping people get through trauma, grief, and loss. Most recently, she has become a disaster mental health worker to assist in national disaster relief efforts, including helping survivors of Hurricane Harvey and the Las Vegas massacre.
If you’ve ever experienced self-doubt, which most humans do, or if you’re wanting to make a change in your life and fear is stopping you, then this episode is for you!

#126: This episode is all about the struggle of chasing a dream and the opportunities that come when you’re down and out. Just when you feel like the journey is over, and you’re ready to give it all up. Because the pain from continuing the chase feels impossible and it is no longer worth it.
My guest this episode is my friend, Ervin Ross. Ervin and I go WAYYY back. And when we had a chance to sit down while I was in LA, we talked about his experience in pursuing his passion for the arts as an actor. Ervin talks about something that is VERY familiar to many of us, learning to adapt and code switch between cultures without losing your unique personality. Ironically, Ervin spent much of his childhood trying really hard not to stick out but his uniqueness eventually led him to his career today! Sound familiar? This funny man is a ninja at life and a great example of what life looks like when you don’t waste opportunities. And when the opportunities don't present themselves, Ervin likes to create his own.

My guest Denise Soler Cox, filmmaker, top 100 podcaster, two-time TEDX speaker and coach, who produced a short film called "Being Eñye", the stories about American-born Latinos who don't feel Latino enough or American enough. Sound familiar? I thought so!
We chatted about finding our way around the world when you're someone who lives within two cultures, feeling like you have to justify who you are, and what it means to belong in this ever-evolving global culture.

Making Rich White Lady Decisions
DIFERENTE
01/06/21 • 42 min
Let's kick off the New Year with real talk that might make some of you uncomfortable.
As a person of color, I deal with "buyers remorse" whenever I'm called to invest in myself or my business. Things like hiring help, paying a business coach, going to therapy, even upgrading my sheet thread count have made me feel bougie, or like an impostor.
Raise your hand if you've heard or have said these words out loud: "Therapy's for white people", "coaching is for rich people", or my own version: "nannies are for rich white ladies".
The sad truth is that we keep participating in this narrative as if the world wasn't already constantly telling us that we're not good enough to have these things.
For so many people I know, that's often the perception. Well I say F*CK PERCEPTION. ¡NO MAS! I will not hold myself back by these limiting beliefs, and neither should you!
That's why I asked, Transformation Coach, and fellow podcaster, Tangia Renee Estrada to join me in dismantling these lies, by exploring the cultural nuances that make it so difficult for us to wash away the impostor syndrome, and the fear of making "rich white lady decisions".
