Ch*ngona Revolution

If you’ve been listening since the beginning of this podcast, then you might recognize this week’s guest, Dulce Toscano! She’s returning to the podcast to share her brand new business, The School of AI. She left her successful coaching business, deleted all her socials, and started fresh on an idea that she says is going to change the world. 

Dulce Toscano is an AI consultant, educator, and the founder o...

Sometimes it’s not the job that’s holding you back. Sometimes it’s you! And that hurts! You’d never think that you’d be holding yourself back. You want to live a better life, so of course, you’d give it to yourself if you had the chance. Right? This week, we’re speaking with someone who discovered that she was holding herself back and what she did to course-correct her life.  

Bianca Cervantes is the co-...

I am a firm believer in doing things before you’re “ready.” Because no one is ever “ready,” you're just scared. That fear sometimes drives my clients to do more research or get another certification, just so they can push their courage project down the line. But that’s not necessarily what that fear is trying to tell you to do.

Fear isn’t there to keep you from your dreams - that fear is there as proof tha...

We tend to think of cycles in a negative light, like the cycles of abuse or the cycles of complacency. But there are also good cycles that can lead to even better outcomes than the ones you have now. Once you make a positive change in your life and stick with it, you create a new cycle that’s in alignment with what you want. The more you bet on yourself, the more results you’ll see and the more motivation you’ll have t...

Starting a business can be so overwhelming and somehow so freeing at the same time. You have the freedom to use all 24 hours of your day however you’d like, but you also now have to take responsibility for all 24 hours of your day. It can be exhausting, and without the right support system, it can bring all those limiting beliefs to the surface. If this sounds like you, then what you need right now is some guidance fro...

If your thoughts are always about someone else with the greatest job, or the most incredible business, or the most amazing second husband, then you are trying to tell yourself something. It’s not that your life sucks and you should feel bad about it. It’s that you want what she has, so go get it for yourself. 

It sounds like you want to raise your standards, try something new, or explore something better...

So many of the guests we've had on the podcast are some of the most courageous people I’ve ever met. As Latinas, the odds are often stacked against us. Not only are we separated from our homelands, but the country is systematically trying to keep us from succeeding. This is exactly why I wanted to take the time to shout out some incredible women who beat the odds and gave themselves the lives they always dreamed of. 

Failure isn’t something we should be afraid of. Yes, it’s a pain, and the rejection hurts, but it’s what helps us grow as business owners. We can never get better if we don’t figure out what isn’t working. And today we’re going to tackle the most common cause of failure. 

When I started talking to the business owners inside of Courage Driven Latina, I realized that their fear of failure was what was keep...

Life isn’t just about struggling to live and sacrificing to advance your career. It’s about enjoying ourselves, connecting with each other, and using our money to invest in something incredible! It’s time to take back our power and live the lives we know we should be living. And we can start by listening to Arielle’s incredible story for inspiration. 

Arielle Diaz is a Peabody and GLAAD-nominated TV Writ...

Financial freedom is something we should all be striving for. Our parents taught us to be practical and get a good, stable job. But life isn’t always stable, and if we are going to be bad ass feminists who do what we want with our lives, we need to be financially free. Financial freedom means leaving your cheating husband without worries and about bills, it means fully funding your maternity leave to spend time with yo...

Over the last six years, I’ve really been getting into the science of manifesting. Because it is a science! Manifesting has everything to do with neuroplasticity, neuroscience, and epigenetics. There’s a reason I created my dream life when I left my tech job. And there’s one specific method of manifesting that always works for me, so I’m going to share it with you today. 

It’s called the BFF method, and ...

"Mira, ponte las pilas." How many times have you heard that phrase before? Or "no seas una pendeja," or "nadie te quita lo que está para ti." These phrases helped guide us into the women we are today. We picked ourselves up and dusted ourselves off because we had tough love at home that taught us how to be tougher chingonas. And to be honest, these phrases still help me out to this day! When I’m feeling low, I think, "...

Here’s the thing: no matter what your catalyst is, whether it’s a layoff or you quit and pivoted, you’ll always end up where you need to be. Take our guest, Lucia, for example. She was laid off during the pandemic, and soon after, she realized her dream wasn’t to be an art director for Amazon. That company, by the way, laid off her entire team as soon as things got rough. Now that she had the freedom to take a breath a...

AI is an extremely powerful tool that is currently accessible to anyone with an internet connection. We, in the Latino community, can use to give ourselves the leg up we may not have had access to before. Say, for example, you couldn’t get a Master's in Marketing Data Analytics when you were in college, but now you need to make a marketing plan for your business. AI can help you create a personalized marketing plan tha...

You can do anything with the right community behind you, and this week’s guest can testify to that. Lourdes was going through an extremely tough time - she was put through the ringer in the military, she found herself in $75k of household debt, and her (now ex) husband kicked her out of her own home. She needed to make a change and FAST. So she reached out to her community, including the Courage Driven Latina community...

It all comes down to learning how to trust ourselves. For example, picking between two great job offers and not being able to choose which one to take. They’re both great! They’re not perfect, some of the benefits could be better, and there's going to be some annoying parts of the job, but both opportunities are still great. And still, you can’t make a decision. 

If you know that something like picking b...

One, admittedly major, decision can change the course of your life for the better. Especially if that major decision involves you leaning into your life’s purpose. Because once you see the chance to align yourself with your goals, and you take it, everything starts to fall into place. This is exactly what happened with this week’s guest, Bricia Lopez. She started her culinary career taking over her parents’ struggling ...

Sex can be a beautiful experience full of love and fulfilled desires. It’s this amazing expression of love and intimacy that you can share with your partner and with yourself! But to be able to reach the sexual freedom we all hope for, we have to do some soul searching.

You may say to yourself, “I’m not a controlling person, this isn’t about me.” But the need to control the world around us is a natural part of human nature. We crave control because we think control will bring us certainty, and then that certainty will bring us peace. 

But sometimes you don’t get certainty, no matter how much you try. And instead of freaking out about the uncertainty of it all, we should...
