In this episode of First to Thrive, Nicole Cruz is joined by Mariela de la Mora, a leadership coach and founder of the Reclamation Mastermind. Mariela, a daughter of Mexican immigrants, shares her journey of building a million-dollar business while navigating the complexities of being a first-generation immigrant and a single mother. From personal reinvention to becoming an in-demand thought leader, Mariela offers insights on how to reclaim your self-trust, your voice, and your worth as a woman of color.
Key Takeaways:
- Self-Trust as a Skill: Mariela and Nicole dive deep into why self-trust is an essential skill for first-gen women, particularly when breaking out of traditional molds and stepping into new phases of life.
- The Power of Reclamation: Learn how Mariela turned her struggles with self-doubt and people-pleasing into an empowering journey of reclaiming her voice and building a brand based on who she truly is.
- The Importance of Personal Branding: Discover how your unique story and background as a first-gen can become your superpower in the business world, especially when you stop hiding parts of yourself.
- Breaking Free from Expectations: Mariela discusses her decision to leave a high-paying job and start a business that allowed her to fully show up as herself — and how that decision transformed her life.
- Self-Care as the Starting Point: Learn how small actions of self-care can lead to monumental shifts in your self-trust and decision-making.
Mariela shares how her journey of self-trust, starting over, and embracing her full identity has shaped her coaching practice today. Her work empowers other daughters of immigrants and women of color to embrace their authenticity and create the life and business they desire without having to dim their light.
