Our guest on this episode stands behind the philosophy of “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” Andrea Barrera, the founder of Gracious Om, who dedicatedly worked in the mental health field for nearly a decade then quit her full-time job to start her own business, turned to hemp, crystals and ancient herbal remedies as a self-care practice and found a way to motivate others to jump on this journey of self-love. How did she do it!?

They say women, by nature, are emotional. But the talented artist Sand One knows how to dominate those emotions, and she teaches us how to get out there and conquer the world.

The Mexican-American mural painter tells us her story of how her hustle from a very young age helping her mother sell food in the East LA neighborhood gave her the grounds to sell her merchandise. Her motivation and determination are to learn from!
