#188 Zaka Presents My Journey Veronica Moya

When Veronica Moya arrived in the U.S. from Buenos Aires at just 19, she spoke little English but carried something far greater, an unshakable belief in the power of the mind and spirit. From her early days learning the language through total immersion to building multiple businesses, including her children’s mindfulness company Mindful V, Veronica has turned her immigrant story into a movement that’s changing lives.

In this heartfelt episode, Veronica shares how she redefined meditation as a playful, soul-awakening experience for kids helping them manage anxiety, silence negative self-talk, and grow into confident, self-loving individuals. She opens up about overcoming language barriers, discrimination, and reinvention, rising from waitress to general manager, from wedding officiant to Telemundo’s metaphysical expert, and from a dreamer to a thought leader featured in The New York Times.

Through affirmation, meditation, and gratitude, Veronica teaches what she calls “mental hygiene”—a daily ritual to prevent the emotional struggles many adults face today.  She built a movement rooted in empathy, resilience, and belief that every child, no matter where they come from, carries infinite brilliance
