When Hady Mendez came to me and said she wanted to talk about the experience of WOC at work, I was absolutely sure I wanted to have the conversation and also I wasn't sure how best to go about it as a white woman myself.

If you'd rather send a voice memo than a text, this episode is for you. As someone with ADHD, I identify as a verbal processor and tend to shut down when typing emails on a computer. But today's guest, Kirsten Roldan, founder of Million Dollar email, has solved for all the reasons people hate writing email including those who would rather speak tha…

The thing about being a WOC business owner is that we tend to use our big hearts against ourselves. When all you want to do is serve, it's understandable that you'd put yourself on the back burner. In fact, that tendency is often the first thing that's modeled to us as children. But here's the thing: abandoning our own needs, energetically or monet…

Alright besties, I'll level with you. I used to have an online course, and I HATED IT.

But I have learned the hard way that online courses are not a get-r…

Remember when millennials were called, “Lazy and entitled”? With the new “Quiet Quitting” and “Lazy Girl Job” trends, Gen Z is now getting stereotyped with the new, “Lazy and Entitled” title. I have clients who are Millennials and Gen Xers who always ask, “How do I work with Gen Z?” And I also have clients who are Gen Z who ask, “How do I communica…

It's not uncommon for service providers to feel left in the dust in the online space. A lot of the prevailing advice service providers hear about increasing income comes down to changing their offer suite. Luckily, that's not the only option and people like Mariana Peña are paving the way. Mariana joined Reclamation in February with the goal of mak…

This week I am joined by guest Betsaida Lebron to talk about play and humor and how those are two majorly overlooked factors that can make us better leaders. We often think play is irrelevant for adults, and totally opposite of productivity or business, but the reality is that these concepts go hand-in-hand. About Betsaida: Betsaida LeBron is a tea…

We can all agree that job searching sucks - and from the recruitment, hiring, and onboarding side, it's really not much better. The standard practices for recruitment, hiring, and onboarding are totally archaic and suck. My guest today is my friend and client, Carly Patryluk. She's a pet business owner who has revolutionized her recruitment and hir…

Being a leader isn’t just about creating strategic decisions and hitting goals. It’s also about leading and managing your team, and learning how to manage up. It’s about the “soft skills” like teamwork, communication and conflict resolution. (On a side note, I hate that it’s called “soft skills” cause it’s these skills that are actually hard). This…

As a business coach, I still have to actively coach MY brain. So part of my process for doing that is in what I've coined the "Belief Bookmarking" process, which is foundational tool in Reclamation Mastermind. When my self-belief is high, I like to leave evidence for my future self. Because those moments of low belief and not-enoughness are inevita…

Self-Abandonment runs deeper than saying no when you want to say yes or saying yes when you want to say no (although that counts!). Self-Abandonment is actually a symptom of conditioned beliefs about prioritizing others' needs, emotions, or acceptance over your own. If you ever struggled to feel seen, safe, or soothed in childhood, this will show u…

In 2017, I “failed.” I got let go from my dream job working as a Fundraiser at Pasadena City College where I raised $1.1 million in student scholarships.

Leaving a Senior-Level career is a whole different ballgame than leaving a job. So much of your identity is wrapped up in what you do. It's not just about the salary.

This week we are talking about how important it is to periodically ask yourself, “What am I doing and why am I doing it?” As your life and your business evolves, your goals and priorities shift.

There is more to creating demand than "picking a niche." The question is - how do we know that people want it and are willing to pay for it? This is why demand doesn't come from picking a niche, it comes from CREATING it (through thought leadership). As a lifelong marketer, I helped companies across the world understand why something was or wasn't …

Some anxiety is survival, but most of my anxiety isn’t that. I have the most anxiety when I’m living a life that doesn’t align with my goals, hopes, and energy. It isn’t about what I’m doing. It’s about what I’m NOT doing. “Do you like anxiety? Cause I don’t…” I shared this with Matt Story, Visa VP when he interviewed me about how I’m always brave …

I had my first business from 2012 to 2016 as a Fundraising Consultant. I ended it after 4 years because I was done with the ups and downs of owning a business.

What do people say about you when you leave a Zoom call or physical room? Why should you even care? First, you shouldn’t care what other people think. I’m not talking about being liked.
