Many of us work very hard, and we tend to forget about ourselves, but remember, you deserve to take time to rest. Taking a break is not bad. Sometimes all you need is to press the reset button to continue and do it better. I am the type of person who likes to serve her community, and you are a part of it. During these months, I have taken the time to listen to you, read you, and even recently interact with you through a zoom call. I had a pleasant time sharing with you and being able to hear your ideas and opinions. I am all ears, and believe me—I listened to you. So, I started to think about how to help you more, and an incredible idea came up: A women's retreat! In this episode, I want to gossip a little bit with you about the upcoming retreat. Also, I will be talking about the new tools —available soon—on my website for artists, influencers, and anyone who wants to grow their business. My intention behind this episode is to help you either take some time for yourself or grow professionally. So, what are you waiting for? Press play now.

Never sit around waiting for things to happen. This week, I opened my emails again and began to read your questions. Many are personal, and others are about entrepreneurship; they all have something in common: Getting started—whatever it may be, a new stage of our lives, to undertake, to communicate, to find a balance, etc. Remember, you are always one decision away to have a completely different life and live your dreams.

"Where Have You Been?" This is the question that I have received the most in the last few weeks, but don't worry, I'm back! As many of you know, I am a mother and an entrepreneur, and it can be exhausting, but every effort is worth it. Due to family difficulties, I had to take a break to put my life in order. When we are entrepreneurs, we tend to put our businesses first. But, you have to understand that you have to put yourself and your family first and that you deserve to take a break whenever you need it. In today's episode, I will update you about my personal life, from my current relationship status to why I had to give home school to my child. Also, I will respond to a Q&A about how to build your brand and generate engagement with your customers. I want to thank you for all the love and support I have received in recent weeks. I appreciate it and wish you the best!

I had a pleasant time, and many of your questions led to a conversation where I not only talked about my personal, family, and work-life, but you will also hear tips and tricks on how to balance yours.

Forgiveness is easy to say but is way more difficult to give it.

We all have a story and inner wounds to heal, and if we do not deal with our wounds on time, they will become deeper and hardest to heal over the years.

Today, I am here to talk to you about my personal experience with forgiveness.

My goal with this episode is to help you heal your inner wounds using forgiveness as a tool — by delivering true forgiveness to those who have hurt you intentionally or unintentionally.

This episode is dedicated to my mom and those people out there with missing parents.

If you are going through the same situation, reach out to me, I am here for you!
