Building Community, Vision, and Inspiration
Happy Friday and Happy New Year! 🎉 This week has been a mix of creativity, reflection, and diving into new possibilities as I set the tone for 2025. I’m beyond excited about the year ahead and can’t wait to share what’s been brewing behind the scenes. So, let’s get started!
The Power of Connection
If you’re not on Threads yet, what are you waiting for?! This platform has been a total game-changer for me. I’ve loved connecting with people who share the same passion for growth, authenticity, and real conversations. The community I’ve found there is truly one of a kind, full of positivity, inspiration, and support. There’s something incredibly energizing about being part of a like-minded community. I’ve had meaningful exchanges, celebrated wins, and shared ideas. Threads has shown me the true power of connection, fueling my goals for 2025 in ways I didn’t expect.
Manifestation in Action
Manifestation isn’t just a buzzword for me. It’s a lifestyle. This week, I dove deep into creative manifestation work to align with my goals. I designed custom manifestation wallpapers for my desktop, and yes—I took it a step further and had my vision board professionally printed. It’s now about to be framed and displayed in my workspace as a constant reminder of everything I’m working toward this year. For me, it’s all about those concrete reminders to stay inspired and focused on my goals. I truly believe in the power of visualization to manifest your future, and I’m here for it.
Entrepreneurship, My PhD Journey, and LLI
2025 is here, and it’s a year of growth, excitement, and new challenges. I’m officially stepping into full-time entrepreneurship this new year and couldn’t be more thrilled. Everything is falling into place, and I’m ready to make a bigger impact in my business and the lives of the entreprenuers, career-driven individuals, and students I support.
A major highlight of 2024 was getting accepted into the Latina Leadership Institute in Rhode Island. This opportunity has been transformative, allowing me to deepen my leadership skills while proudly embracing my identity as a Latina and celebrating my journey as a first-generation individual. Together with my cohort, we are now learning the important art of fundraising to support our mission: to amplify the voices of Latinas in Rhode Island, helping them thrive as professionals, community leaders, business owners, and political activists. Our collective goal is to raise awareness, foster support, and fuel growth for Latinas across the state. The ultimate Legacy Fund we are building will not only contribute to our chosen non-profit but will serve as a lasting resource for the next generation of Latina leaders. Being part of this incredible community and having the chance to actively give back is deeply inspiring and motivating.
I’m also diving into my PhD program at Fielding Graduate University! 🎓 This is a huge milestone in both my personal and professional journey. As a multi-passionate person, I’m excited to explore how self-development tools like Astrology, Human Design, and Enneagram can empower entrepreneurs, career-driven individuals, and students to unlock their strengths and achieve their goals. I’m particularly focused on how these tools can support multi-passionate individuals and trauma survivors to thrive in their careers and entrepreneurial experiences.
Balancing this academic dream with my entrepreneurial path is no small accomplishment, but I’m fully embracing being a full-time solopreneur. While I focus on building my business, I’m always open to part-time opportunities if the right job comes along. But for now, I couldn’t be more excited to fully lean into this entrepreneurial journey and see where it takes me!
Human Design: My Newest Adventure
In addition to all the exciting things happening, I’m taking a Human Design course called Human Design Coaching, taught by Becca Francis. I’ve been soaking up valuable knowledge about integrating Human Design into coaching, and it’s been empowering me to build even more authentic, meaningful connections within my community.
This course is teaching me to uncover my own energetic story, understand my circuitry, and protect and expand my energy. It’s all about self-mastery so I can show up fully and support my clients on a deeper level. I’m also learning how to incorporate Human Design into my client sessions, helping them unlock their potential in a way that feels both aligned and magical. This deeper understanding of Human Design is changing my business approach and how I build relationships and connect with others. I’m excited to step into 2025 as a more empowered leader, guiding my clients with greater confidence and clarity.
Mentorship: Dennis Littky’s Ongoing Impact
Speaking of growth, I must shout out Dennis Littky as we celebrate National Mentoring Month. He is one of the best mentors I could ever ask for. If you’ve followed my journey, you know how much his mentorship has shaped my life and career. Dennis has taught me to continue to dream big, embrace setbacks, and stay true to my purpose. His wisdom continues to guide me every day, and I’m incredibly grateful for his continued support.
Lessons from Movie Marathons
Over the holidays, I treated myself to two of my all-time favorite movies (though let’s be honest, I have a lot of favorites): The Nightmare Before Christmas and Harry Potter. These films are classics, but they also carry powerful lessons that speak to my goals for 2025.
Harry Potter is all about resilience, courage, and the power of friendship. Watching Harry and his friends face impossible challenges reminds me that I can overcome anything with determination and the support of those around me. Their journey shows me the importance of staying true to myself and finding strength in the darkest times.
Then there’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. Jack Skellington’s journey is about following your passions, even when they lead you down unexpected paths. His willingness to explore new ideas and push boundaries speaks directly to my own goals for 2025. Sally’s quiet strength reminds me to trust my intuition. These films celebrate the magic of life and staying true to your authentic self, lessons I carry with me into the new year.
A Magical Holiday Season & A Fresh Start
This Christmas was full of warmth and love, surrounded by family and those who mean the most—though I missed celebrating with some of my closest cousins. New Year’s brought a fresh start, and honestly, after a challenging few months in 2024, I’m more than ready for what’s to come. While the end of 2024 had its challenges, I’m looking at those moments as lessons that made me stronger and more focused. They’ve set the stage for 2025, and I’m ready to embrace every opportunity this year brings. As I wrap up this first week of 2025, I feel inspired and prepared to tackle everything that comes my way. This year is focused on growth, creativity, and being my authentic self. Most importantly, the hardest challenge is prioritizing consistency over perfection.
