the story

For much of my life, and especially as a Latina immigrant in the U.S., I believed that fulfillment would come from doing more: working harder, achieving more, being liked, striving to be “enough.”

Working hard paid off, in a way. On the surface, things looked great. I had a successful career in marketing in Tech in Silicon Valley and finance in the heart of Manhattan. I led teams, had a good salary, earned many awards, and checked every box that was supposed to make me happy.

But deep down, I often felt anxious, disconnected, and uncertain about what it all meant.

Then life brought moments that made me pause. Moments of loss, change, and reflection. Hitting rock bottom. And in those pauses, I started to hear a quieter truth: that purpose isn’t something we achieve; it’s a journey we walk.

I understood that all that doing led me to climb a ladder. And while it served me for a while, it was time to pursue a different route altogether. 

Mindfulness became my foundation. It's the practice that helped me reconnect with myself, with others, and with the present moment. It taught me that fulfillment isn’t a future goal; it’s something we cultivate through awareness, compassion, and intention, one breath at a time.

After reinventing myself many times, I now get to live a purposeful life. I have the beautiful gift of working with people and teams do the same: to transform exhaustion into presence, confusion into clarity, and achievement into meaning.

Because when we live aligned with our purpose, from within, we don’t just transform our own lives. We begin to create the change we want to see in the world.
