From podcast beginnings to finding love through manifestation, this episode with Jessica Yanéz, host of The Wine and Chisme Podcast, is a heartfelt reminder that alignment and authenticity can lead to incredible things.

In this episode, I sit down with Jessica, we first met years ago when I was coaching her, and it’s so inspiring to see how much she’s grown since then, from building a successful podcast to manifesting the love and life she once wrote about.

Jessica and I talk about:

• Jessica’s five-year journey in podcasting, how she built The Wine and Chisme Podcast, stayed consistent, and created space for diverse voices.
• The lessons she’s learned about staying true to yourself, embracing breaks, and finding your rhythm as a creative.
• Her powerful manifestation story and how the future she scripted years ago became her reality, including meeting her now-husband.
• What it means to set intentions and align your energy with the life you’re meant to create.
• Her newest passion project under Chisme Media, connecting Latina-owned wine brands and bridging culture through wine and storytelling.

Grab your favorite glass of wine and tune in for an inspiring chat on passion, manifestation, and purpose.

✨ If you know you’re meant to experience what Jessica has, to live your dream life and feel fully aligned with your future self, come join me for The Future Self Experience. It’s a powerful in-person workshop where you’ll learn how to script, embody, and manifest the version of yourself you’re being called to become.

In this episode, I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. Lizette Sánchez, a licensed psychologist, speaker, and writer who works with first-gen leaders. Together, we had a heartfelt conversation about the unique strengths of first-gen women, the challenges we often face balancing cultural expectations, and how to reconnect with the confidence that’s already within us.

I talked about:

• The natural gifts first-gen women bring: adaptability, resourcefulness, community-mindedness, and confidence
• How confidence isn’t something we “find” but something we reconnect with through action
• The cultural push-and-pull many of us experience, and how to move from conflict into integration
• Why boundaries are essential, not to create distance, but to deepen connection with both family and work
• The difference between “having it all” and “doing it all,” and how to release perfectionism
• Dr. Lizette’s LOOP framework for navigating imposter feelings: Letting go of perfection, Owning your wins, Opening up to support, and Practicing self-compassion
• The power of collective healing in groups and communities, and why we’re not meant to do this work alone

This conversation is packed with wisdom, reframes, and practical tools for every first-gen woman navigating leadership, identity, and self-doubt.

When family politics, viral moments, and peace collide

In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal experience that went from a family barbecue to a viral reel seen by almost a million people. I share how I navigated the emotions, the backlash, and the unexpected lessons about boundaries, self-care, and using challenges as opportunities to elevate.

I talked about:

• What really happened at that family barbecue, and why my shirt became a point of conflict
• How going viral brought both visibility and overwhelm, and what I learned from it
• The importance of boundaries, space, and saying “no” as full answers
• Why nervous system regulation and self-care matter even more in turbulent times
• How to turn painful family or political conflicts into opportunities for growth and deeper connection
• The bigger invitation: using these moments to evolve, elevate, and align with love

This episode is raw, real, and rooted in love: for family, for community, and for our collective growth. If you’ve ever struggled with family politics, viral visibility, or staying grounded in chaos, this one’s for you.

What if consistency didn’t mean doing something every day, or every week? What if it meant honoring your own rhythm, your own flow, and knowing when to pause? In this final episode before summer break, I’m sharing a loving reminder that rest is part of the process, especially when you’re building something for the long run.

I’m getting real about what consistency actually means, not hustle culture’s definition, but one rooted in alignment, energy, and long-term vision. I discuss the importance of taking intentional breaks, redefining productivity, and trusting your own pace as you build your life, career, or business.

I also share how I will be taking a break from the podcast for the rest of July and August, and then I will be back in September with new, exciting guests and powerful tools to help you live a more intentional life and reach your big money time and impact goals. 

I talked about:

• Why I’m taking a podcast break for the rest of July and August
• The difference between short-term hustle and long-term purpose
• How to define consistency for yourself (hint: it’s not doing something every day)
• Letting go of comparison when it comes to other people’s pace
• My summer plans, family time, and upcoming interviews with powerful Latinas
• A special one-day retreat: The Release and Reclaim Retreat happening in August, and how you can join us!

What does fainting have to do with stress, trauma, and your nervous system? A lot more than you might think!! In this deeply personal episode, I share a story that shook our household—and led me to discover the power of the vagus nerve and why we all need to understand how it works.

I open up about my husband Joey’s recent health scare that left me calling 911 and sent me on a mission to learn everything I could about vagus nerve health. I break down what the vagus nerve is, why it matters for your digestion, breathing, sleep, and emotional regulation, and three simple tools you can use starting today to strengthen it.

I talked about:

• What happened when my husband fainted and how stress, pain, and trauma play a role
• What the vagus nerve does and why it's essential to your parasympathetic (rest & digest) nervous system
• How the vagus nerve impacts digestion, sleep, mood, and overall health
• 3 quick, science-backed tools to support and strengthen your vagus nerve
  1. Humming
  2. Gargling
  3. Cold exposure
• Why building a healthier nervous system matters more than ever in today’s world
• A gentle reminder that healing doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming

Whether you're feeling burned out, anxious, or just curious about how to better support your body and mind, this episode will give you real, accessible tools you can use right away.

This episode is a special one.. I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had on Rafa’s podcast, In My Baddie Era. Whether you’re building your business or breaking generational cycles, this is for you.

Rafa and I talked about:

• How I went from nonprofit burnout to becoming a successful life and business coach
• The concept of "being" work—why who you're being matters more than what you're doing
• The connection between discipline, authenticity, and self-love
• What it really looked like to take the leap, disappoint my parents, and fully bet on myself
• Mental health, intuitive decision-making, and the courage to be vulnerable
• The power of action, mindset, and simply not giving up
• My go-to routines, the piggybacking habit hack, and how I structure my days with three kids
• What it means to truly get paid to be yourself

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, pressure from family, or finding the courage to live authentically, this conversation will speak to you. I hope it inspires you to trust your intuition and take that next step.

The fear is real, but so is OUR power. In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with the bold and brilliant Natalie Garcia to talk about what’s happening in our communities, what we’re feeling, and what we can actually do in the face of ICE raids, fear, and division.

You’ll hear two daughters of immigrants holding space for each other, navigating grief, rage, hope, and resilience. We discuss our responsibility as Latinas, especially those who have gained some privilege or power, and how we can stand in solidarity with our community without burning out. Whether you’re protesting in the streets or raising awareness at home, your role matters.

We talked about:

• How ICE raids are impacting families in Los Angeles
• What resistance looks like when you’re a mom or can't always be on the frontlines
• Why community care, joy, and cultural pride are forms of protest
• The upcoming July 1 nationwide boycott—and how you can participate
• Healing through storytelling, dancing, writing, and remembering where you came from
• What we need from privileged Latinas right now
• Why the antidote to fear is collective courage and connection

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to do everything, but you do need to do something. Our joy, our stories, and our unity are la medicina. ✊🏽💛

I share the raw truth of what it's like to live through the fear, trauma, and resilience brought on by ICE raids in our communities and how we rise together in response.

This week, I come to you with a heavy heart and a strong voice. With ICE raids terrorizing cities like Los Angeles and communities being paralyzed by fear, this moment demands that we wake up, feel, act, and take care of each other. I reflect on what I’m seeing and feeling, and share tools for processing these intense emotions while offering a path forward rooted in action, healing, and community.

I talked about:

• The emotional and spiritual impact of ICE raids across Los Angeles and beyond
• What I’m witnessing firsthand from self-deportation to marches and community uprising
• Why now is the time for deep transformational work and radical self-awareness
• The four tools to navigate these times:
  • Acknowledge your feelings even if you’re feeling numb
  • Process your emotions - talk it out, write, art, or dance it out
  • Decide how to use your emotions take aligned action, big or small
  • Rest and recharge because healing and activism both require energy
    
    

I invite you to join us for two upcoming community events that are rooted in healing, empowerment, and action:

Future Self Experience (virtual, June 22): https://www.wendyamara.com/workwithme/p/future-self-experience
Latinas in Wellness (in-person, Los Angeles): bit.ly/latina-in-wellness

This is a time to come together, not to be an isolation, but to feel and rise with intention. Community is the MEDICINA, and I’m here walking this path with you.

You are not your productivity. You are not your to-do list. And you’re definitely not more valuable just because you do more. 

In this episode, we’re closing out the 3-part Healing Your Inner Niña series with a truth many of us need to sit with: Your worth is not in what you do—it’s in who you are.

I guide you through a beautiful reflection and a gentle process to reconnect with the joyful, free little girl you once were—and begin letting go of the deeply ingrained belief that your value is tied to how much you do or accomplish. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a mama, a career woman, or somewhere in between, this message is for you.

In this episode, I discuss

• How being raised in a “do more to be enough” culture wires us for burnout
• Why your Inner Niña linked her value to responsibility and performance
• The cost of constant striving, especially for daughters of immigrants
• A new definition of worthiness—one that isn’t based on output
• Why learning to say “enough” is revolutionary
• A powerful visualization to release the belief that you always have to prove yourself
• What it feels like to just be—and know that’s more than enough

This episode isn’t just a lesson—it’s a moment of healing. If you’ve ever struggled to slow down, to rest, or to believe you're worthy without producing anything, this one’s for you. ❤️❤️❤️

If you’ve ever carried guilt for things that weren’t really your fault—or weren’t even your responsibility—this episode will speak straight to your heart.

In this episode, I continue our 3-part Healing Your Inner Niña series by talking about something I know so many of us carry quietly: Guilt. Especially for those of us who were the responsible ones growing up in first-gen immigrant households, guilt became a way of life. Guilt for not doing enough, being enough, or pleasing everyone around us.

I open up about how my Inner Niña learned guilt early on, from family dynamics, cultural expectations, and Catholic upbringing, and how that shaped my adult life… until I realized guilt is actually a choice.

I talked about:

• The roots of guilt for eldest daughters and first-gen Latinas
• Why guilt became our default and how it quietly drains our energy
• Real stories from my childhood that shaped this belief
• The moment I realized guilt wasn’t helping me anymore
• What it means to choose a new emotional response as an adult
• A simple but powerful visualization you can use to start releasing guilt
• How letting go creates space for freedom, joy, and real healing

Let this be the permission you didn’t know you needed to stop carrying what was never yours to hold. 🩷

We’re kicking off a powerful new series to help you reconnect with your inner niña and rewrite the beliefs that no longer serve you, starting with the belief that you have to please everyone to be loved.

In this episode, I open up about something I’ve seen time and again with my clients: PEOPLE PLEASING. I share how this survival mechanism from childhood, especially for those of us who grew up in immigrant households, can quietly control our adult lives. 

This is the first part of my Healing Your Inner Niña series, where we’ll dive deep into the limiting beliefs that shaped us and how to let go of them.

In this episode, I cover: 

• Why does people pleasing begin as a survival response
• How these old beliefs can lead to burnout and anxiety
• A powerful story from a friend that brought this to life
• The key questions to start healing your inner niña
• How to start building a new belief system rooted in self-worth, not performance
• What it means to feel loved, safe, and important without needing to do everything for everyone

This episode is an invitation to pause and reflect. I guide you through practical questions and powerful insights to help you begin the journey of unlearning and reclaiming your worth.

Take a breath. Sit with it. You don’t need to please everyone to be loved. 🩷

"I'm not going to fish for you—I’m going to teach you how to fish."

In this episode, I dive deep into three of the most common (and powerful) questions I get from fellow coaches. Whether you're feeling stuck with clients who lose steam, wondering when to finally launch your group program, or navigating money objections during your sales calls—this episode is for you.

I talked about:

• A special Q&A session just for coaches
• What strategies I use to keep clients motivated and on track—and why reconnecting them to their emotional “why” is more powerful than pushing productivity.
• How to know when you’re truly ready to launch a group coaching program, and the behind-the-scenes truth about what it actually takes.
• How I help potential clients move through scarcity mindset during enrollment conversations, and why I never move my energy—even in the face of money objections.

This episode is packed with coaching wisdom, mindset shifts, and real talk from behind the scenes. If you’re a coach navigating growth, sales, or group program dreams, you won’t want to miss it!

We’re in challenging times—and it’s showing up in our marketing. What worked just a few months ago no longer seems to land the same way. The strategies, the numbers, even the energy—it’s all shifted. But one thing hasn’t changed: the importance of continuing to show up, connect with your audience, and build genuine relationships. So how do we keep taking action when the rules have changed?

In this episode, I open up about what it really feels like to market in this current season. Things have shifted. The noise is louder, the results are slower—and maybe you’re wondering if you’re the only one feeling this way. You’re not

On this episode , I talked about:

• The shift in marketing today—and why it feels heavier, slower, and more uncertain
• Letting go of the pressure to constantly tweak or fix your content
• Why I’m not rushing to pivot, but leaning into alignment over performance
• Rediscovering the power of old-fashioned marketing: relationship, presence, and genuine connection
• What it looks like to market with peace in a results-driven world

This isn’t a how-to. It’s a heart check. 

A reminder that even in a noisy, fast-paced world, you’re allowed to slow down, show up differently, and still make an impact. Sometimes the best strategy is to go back to the basics—with a heart that’s truly led.

In this episode, I’m sharing a powerful mindset shift that’s helped me—and so many of my clients—move through goals with more clarity, intention, and peace (yes, peace!). If you’re feeling stuck, heavy, or overwhelmed by what you see happening around us,, this is the episode you didn’t know you needed.

In this episode, I talk about:

• The ONE question I ask myself (and my clients) that changes everything
• Why I’m calling this season a “leveling in” instead of a “leveling up”
• What I believe is really behind the goals we set—and how to access What you want now
• My “Remember the Feeling” technique that helps regulate your nervous system and shift your state
• How to tap into emotions like confidence, safety, and pride before you hit the goal
• Why your goal won’t give you what you think it will (and how to get it anyway)
• How doing the inner work first can make your outer results feel lighter, faster, and more aligned

More than ever, I find myself asking the question what would my ancestors do? During this time of chaos and challenge., it is imperative for us to learn how to connect with our ancestrial  wisdom. 

In today’s episode of the Yes, Mujer Build It podcast, I had the absolute honor of speaking with the brilliant Dr. Patty Ramirez. From the moment I first heard Dr. Patty speak, I knew I had to have her on the show. She has this incredible ability to blend the human experience with spiritual and ancestral wisdom, and our conversation left me with so many breakthroughs (and a full page of notes!). If you’re ready to explore how our ancestral roots can guide us toward healing and leadership, this episode is for you.

Dr. Patti and I talked about:

• Embracing Ancestral Wisdom: How Dr. Patty connects to her Mexican and Salvadorian lineages and uses genetic memory to guide her work.
• Healing and Leadership: The intersection of healing, social justice, and leadership from a place of ancestral knowledge.
• The Power of Community Care: Shifting from an individualistic mindset to collective healing practices.
• Rituals and Rites of Passage: The significance of ceremonies like quinceañeras and how they help maintain accountability and connection within the community.
• Regenerative Power of Fire: Understanding the spiritual and cultural meanings of fire, especially in the context of recent wildfires.
• Finding Your Role: How to listen to your intuition and discover your place within the community and larger ecosystem of healing and social change.
