Are you constantly putting other people’s needs before your own?

Our first guest on the podcast is life coach Nicole Cruz, and she is talking about why you need to selfishly put yourself first as a woman of color and ally.

I knew that I wanted one of the first episodes of Color Your Dreams to be about mindset, and I couldn’t think of anyone better to speak to us about that than Nicole.

She’s sharing her take on how putting yourself first honors your ancestors, improves your relationships, and enables you to serve others. She’s here to remind you that your worthiness is innate, and you don't have to prove yourself to others to be valuable.

Nicole Cruz believes in the amazing potential in people to grow, evolve, and have an impact on the world. She believes that playing a bigger role in our own lives elevates everyone around us. Nicole also believes in abundance, love, and connection.

Nicole is on a mission to help others move from fear and self-doubt to clarity and joy.  She loves being able to help others make their own transformations to love themselves, believe in themselves, and take action towards their dreams.

If you want to go from supporting role to leading lady in your life, tune in.
