It’s Never Too Late to Reinvent Yourself: Lisbeth Perdomo on Grit, Community, and the Inner Work
What do you do when you take a Berklee-trained musician, a mother of two, a global pandemic… and an unshakable vision? You get Lisbeth Perdomo and you get Que Mami . When I sat down with Lisbeth for this conversation, I kept thinking about how much I love stories that don’t follow a neat little timeline. The ones that happen in real life with commuting, motherhood, financial limitations, doubt, cold train platforms, messy beginnings, and still… momentum. Because Lizbeth did

When the "Cool Nerd" Grows Up and Chooses Herself Anyway
A conversation about reinvention, responsibility, and making beauty out of real life. There are some people you meet as a teenager, and you just know they're going to become something. Not "successful" in the resume sense, something deeper. Like they're carrying a future inside them, even when the world tries to shrink their options. That's how I've always felt about Francesca. We grew up together in high school, in the choir and cheerleading, that sweet spot of being creati

Friendship in midlife isn’t “hard” because you’re doing it wrong
My first podcast guest is Liz Tomasi and this conversation is for every woman who’s felt lonely in midlife and didn’t know how to admit it. We talked friendship, community, friendship breakups, and why it feels scarier to “put yourself out there” as we get older. My favorite line: friendship is like a muscle—you don’t have to work it hard, but you do have to work it. If you’ve been craving deeper connections, I hope this meets you where you are.

Build for yourself: A conversation with Maribel Lara on reinvention, ambition, and the quiet power of asking for help
I sat down with my longtime friend Maribel Lara (founder of BeGet Love Consulting) and whew… this conversation was for every woman in transition. We talked about being Latina in spaces that don’t always make room for us, learning to ask for help before we’re desperate, redefining ambition, and building a life we don’t need to escape from.
My biggest takeaway: Stop listening to everyone else. Listen to yourself. Build for yourself.
If you’re on the edge of a pivot, I hope this

Empowering Each Other: Why Women Should Embrace Support Over Competition
The idea that women must compete against each other to succeed is a myth that holds many back. I have seen firsthand how women sometimes mask rivalry with a smile, pretending to be supportive while quietly viewing others as threats.

There is room for all of us to thrive, and when women genuinely support each other, we build stronger communities and open doors for future generations. I believe i
