What is BELIEF WORK, and why is it so important?

Beliefs are fundamental to our lives.

The powers of our beliefs can shape and change our lives. What you believe (especially what you believe about yourself) and your thoughts will always equal your results. 

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It episode, I revisit one of my earlier podcasts that focused on BELIEF WORK. 

If you have a goal you want to reach, such as making a certain amount of money, buying a house, making a significant impact in your community, or having a better relationship with time, then the foundation to achieving all of your goals is your beliefs. 

Learning BELIEF WORK opens up so many opportunities for you. It shifts the way you view your life. You start to understand that what you BELIEVE you become. 

BELIEF WORK is the process of taking a thought and making it a belief you feel in your body. The best part is that we can do this with any thought we have.

You can learn to choose beliefs that are in alignment with your goals. All of a sudden, reaching your goals becomes attainable!


It all starts with practicing BELIEF WORK.

 
In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is Belief Work, and why is it important
• Understanding how our beliefs affect our lives.
• How to distinguish thoughts that have been programmed vs the beliefs you decide.
• The four-step process of Belief Work.
• How to take action based on the new beliefs you create.
• How to apply Belief Work to generate big results in any area of your life.

Have you ever asked yourself, "Who do I need to BE to reach my goal?”

If you have been joining me in the different places I coach, you will notice that lately, I’ve been repeating the most fundamental tool I teach. It is the concept of BE. DO. HAVE.

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It episode, I replay my one earlier podcast where I explained the concept of "BE, DO, HAVE.” I explain how this foundational tool reminds you that everything starts with who you are BEING.

You might ask what the hell that means?

Who we are BEING represents our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, intentions, and the energy behind our actions.

Your way of being includes embodying qualities like courage, confidence, presence, and trust,  and it's up to us to CHOOSE who we want to be and how we want to show up in the world.

Start asking yourself, “Who do I need to BE, to reach my goal?” This aligns you with the qualities and mindset that support your desired outcome.

BE. DO. HAVE starts with your way of BEING first. And the great news is - you control your way of BEING. You control your thoughts, your feelings, your beliefs, your intentions and your frequency of energy. Therefore if you control who you are BEING, you can control any outcome!

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Understanding "Beingness versus Doingness": Learn how aligning your thoughts, feelings, and intentions with actions can lead to personal growth.
• The Power of "BE, DO, HAVE" and the RESULTS that come from embodying who you are before taking action. 
• Being able to reach any goal you set for yourself, not by "doing" more work- but by BEING aligned with who you really are.

On this week's Yes Mujer Build It Episode, I was invited to join Dr. Erika Guzman on the Better Than Good Enough Podcast to discuss my journey of shifting away from the typical "successful first-gen Latina" stability and going full-time into transformational coaching.

The Better Than Good Enough Podcast is dedicated to raising consciousness in the Latinx immigrant community through sharing and listening to real stories from Latinx individuals. Each episode contains a topic relevant to immigrant Latines living in the USA.

We discussed my experience with my parents when I told them about quitting my good-paying non-profit job to pursue coaching and entrepreneurship. I also discussed how leaning into transformational work is vital to making the changes you want in your life and how surrounding yourself with like-minded people (shoutout to the amazing supportive spouses and partners) willing to support and learn with you is vital to your success.

Finally, I discuss why I love my job as an action-based coach and how my clients' work impacts the Latine community. 

In this episode, you'll learn:

• My journey as a First Gen to becoming a Latina Business and Life Coach.
• How building a foundation with supportive people improves your success.
• The truth about the challenges of teaching our community the importance of investing in our own mental health.
• How I enrolled my husband into doing his own personal development work.
• The aliveness that comes when seeing clients have a breakthrough.

Did you know that it is common to experience imposter syndrome, especially in the Latina community? 

Imposter syndrome can keep us from achieving big goals, but we can also feel it when we experience success. It happens when we feel like we don't deserve success or that we have not really earned it. We can feel like a fraud, and find ourselves with tremendous self-doubt. 

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I share my experience with imposter syndrome when I was in disbelief that NASA contacted me to do a workshop for parents during the pandemic. I remember it like it was yesterday. I literally thought the email I received from NASA was a fraudulent email, only to discover it really was from NASA! I share the entire story on this episode. 

What shifted me out of the imposter syndrome and back into the reality that this was a legitimate opportunity, was dropping into my heart. Dropping into your HEART is a powerful tool for conquering Imposter Syndrome. This tool gets us out of our brains and back into our bodies. It shifts the focus from trying to "prove" to ourselves that we Belong, to FEELING like we Belong.  

In this episode - I cover three ways you can practice dropping into your heart:

1. Connecting with your Ancestors, and the love they have for you, like writing them a letter.
2. Picture the face of someone who you unconditionally love.
3. Recalling the last time you felt love, joy, or peace.

When you drop into your heart, you remember the power of who you really are. The answers you are searching for are available to you. You just have to get out of your head and into your heart. Practicing dropping into your heart on a regular basis is a game changer for conquering Imposter Syndrome. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Understanding why imposter syndrome is a common experience, especially in the Latina community.
• How I was able to book a large speaking gig at NASA!
• Why you deserve that seat at the table, even if your brain is giving you other thoughts.
• How dropping into your heart can help you combat imposter syndrome.
• Where to find the answers that you are looking for. 
• Why conquering Imposter syndrome comes from managing your feelings
• How to move energetically from your brain to your heart.

What if we learned how to manage the uncertainty of our lives?

If you are creating something, building a business, or working on a project, you will face uncertainty at some point. Things do not always go as planned. In fact the one thing that is guaranteed in life, is that there will be change.

The challenge is uncertainty can cause us to feel stressed and anxious about the future. 

I see many of my clients experiencing this currently. 

But what if we could look at uncertainty from a different perspective? What if we could learn to manage it in a way that does not create more doubt, but actually leaves us feeling better about the situation. 

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I explain two tools for managing uncertainty. These tools help you shift your perspective on uncertainty, which opens up more possibilities that lead to action in your business and life.  
The first tool for managing uncertainty is asking yourself this powerful question: 

Ask yourself these powerful questions the next time you are feeling uncertain.

• What CAN I control right now?
• What are you always in control of?

There are actually many things you can control. 

The second tool has to do with shifting the way you look at uncertainty. What if instead of uncertainty creating stress and anxiety, you flipped it into looking at it as an adventure?  What if uncertainty means being spontaneous, being more creative, being more curious, the way we are when we are on an adventure?  This one simple shift can open up so much more possibility for you. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why you brain likes to focus on uncertainty so much
• How to Focus on what you can control, like your thoughts, feelings and beliefs.
• How to shift your perspective on uncertainty to regulate your nervous system.
• Which questions to ask yourself during uncertain times.
• How looking at uncertainty as an adventure will bring more opportunities to create what you want

If you have been following me on my Instagram,  you would have noticed that I just finished facilitating my Get It Done Mastermind retreat with my clients, and what a powerful weekend it was! So many things opened up for us during our time together, but the biggest message that we received as a collective was ABUNDANCE. 

Have you ever tapped into your energy of ABUNDANCE?

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I teach you a three-step process for tapping into abundance. This process will help you move from scarcity to abundance in your life. We start with defining what abundance means to you, identifying where and how you experience it, and documenting your experience.

We live in an abundant world. This essence of energy exists between you and the things that you want to create, and it is available to you at any time, anywhere.  If you are committed to achieving a goal or creating an outcome for your life, you will need to tap into abundance. It is very difficult to create from a place of scarcity, so if you are serious about creating the life you want–this episode is a must!

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why tapping into abundance can lead to better, faster, and easier results for your life.
• How to define what abundance means to you
• How to Identify where and when you can experience abundance in your life right now. 
• A reminder of the five ways of BEING.
• The importance of documenting your experiences because your brain will forget.
• A memory of abundance that came back to me in the water during our Get it Done Mastermind Retreat

I am sure you know by now that your BELIEFS are the programming running your life. 

Having a healthy belief system is crucial for creating the desired results we want to have in our lives.

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I discuss a four-step process for turning a thought into a BELIEF. Beliefs are important because they define how you see yourself and the world around you. The process is called BELIEF WORK, and It starts with stating the desired belief, visualizing and seeing it in your life, feeling it in your body, and finding proof that belief already exists. 

Through this process, you can start to take on Beliefs that will help you create the future you want. You can change your beliefs so that you are 100% in alignment with who you truly are. 

It all starts with practicing BELIEF WORK.

 
In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is Belief Work, and why is it important.
• Understanding how our thoughts and beliefs affect our lives.
• Distinguish thoughts that have been programmed vs the beliefs you decide.
• The four-step process of Belief Work.
• How to take action based on the new beliefs you create.

Do you feel pressured to succeed in life as a First-Gen Latina?

First-generation Latinas face unique difficulties. We feel the pressure to achieve the “American Dream” via good jobs, earning a stable paycheck, and status. We also feel the pressure to prove our worth by conforming to the “traditional” Latinx gender roles like marrying young, being family-orientated, and knowing how to cook. These pressures can try to sabotage us as we continuously build the lives we dream of.

It can feel like our definitions of success get confusing. 

How do we find the balance between the two worlds?

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I share some of the pressures of being a First-Gen Latina and how to manage it. Pressures like being a top performer at work or knowing how to make black beans from scratch. We feel tremendous pressure to fit into these two very different worlds. 

The first step in managing these pressures is to acknowledge that they exist within us.

Remember your definition of success doesn’t have to be either American or Latinidad. In fact, you can define your success as having the best of both.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• How to acknowledge the pressures of being a First-Gen Latina. 
• How to navigate the definitions of “success” in both American and Latinx cultures.
• How to manage the pressures by asking yourself powerful questions.
• Why it is important to choose the cultural values and traditions that matter to you most.
• How to let go of Beliefs from either world that no longer serve you.
• How to thrive with all the pressures

Have you ever heard of FUTURE SELF WORK?

Future Self-Work is a practice that helps you become the future version of you. The version of you who has already achieved the goal that you want to achieve. It’s like telling the universe and your brain that this is what you want to have happened in the future.

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I’ll teach you a TOOL that you can use NOW to connect with the future version of yourself. The process is called Scripting. In Scripting we pick a day in your future life and you write it out step by step as if it was a memory. I use this tool during my Future Self Experience events to help you align your present self with your Future Self. It provides insights on what action steps you need to take to get you closer to your goal. Practicing Scripting is a simple yet powerful way to envision your future life right now, and it's available to you at any time.

There are many tools you can use to connect with your Future Self. Scripting is just one tool in the tool box.  If Future Self-Work resonates with you, I invite you to join us in Inspired Action group coaching, where we focus on taking consistent action towards being our Future Self NOW. 

It is not enough to envision being her, you actually get to take action to become her now. 

Start vibrating at the level you want to be at, and add Future Self-Work to your Toolbox. 


In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What is Future Self-Work.
• How to use the powerful tool of Scripting.
• How visioning is connected to Future Self-Work.
• How you can start to collapse time.
• Why taking action in the present moment is essential to align with your Future Self.
• How a group container can support you with staying consistent and committed.

I have a confession to make: last week was HARD.

If you have been following me, you may have noticed that my family and I took a vacation to the woods. It was great, but I got in deep.

Deep into the trees

Deep into my body

Deep into listening

And guess what I was told? The vibrations told me to SLOW DOWN.

Have you ever experienced this type of awareness or a deep awakening?

In this week’s Yes Mujer Build It! episode, I share my personal experiences of feeling overwhelmed. I also share the strategies I am using to not go down the spiral and actually cope with the stress, anxiety and overwhelm.

Often, we receive messages to slow down, take care of ourselves, or find a way to bring more joy into our lives. But what happens if we don’t heed those calls? Our bodies, brains, and emotions can and will shut down. But the way to avoid such overwhelm is to check in with yourself on a regular basis consciencely.

Start by asking yourself these questions:

• What are the things that bring you joy and give you energy?
• What can you do less of but with more impact?
• What are a few things you can let go of control over?
• What excitement can you bring back into your life?

Listen to what resonates inside you. Your answers are the guides to building the life you want. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why slowing down and listening to yourself is vital.
• How focusing on activities that bring you joy and energy can help manage overwhelm.
• Why doing less with more impact IS possible for you.
• Learning to manage yourself is the key to avoiding burnout.

Have you ever felt the need to reconnect with your sense of self or discover your natural gifts?

If so, get ready to take some notes because this episode is for you.

In this week’s episode, I’ll ask you two essential questions that will help you connect to your natural internal resources. 

• What is your Center of Gravity?
• What is your Zone of Genius?

Your Center of Gravity is where you feel entirely connected to your purpose and grounded in your work. Your Zone of Genius consists of the skills or talents that come naturally to you and bring you ease and flow or the feeling that time stands still when you are fully engaged.

Finding your center of gravity and zone of genius is essential for recentering and balancing yourself. Asking yourself these questions helps you tap into your awareness, guide you to your true potential, and make decisions from a place of confidence—or, as I call it, “feeding your confident wolf.”

Take some time today, ask yourself these two important questions, and tap into refreshing and replenishing your cup. 

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Recognizing your Center of Gravity and Zone of Genius.
• Why it is important to engage your awareness.
• How to ask yourself these questions, and where to find the answers
• What does it mean to feel grounded, centered, and tap into your potential self.
• Taking action to spend more time in your Zone of Genius

In this episode, you’ll learn:

·       What is The ITMYS method.
·       What is included in the methodology, and how to use the tool.

Do you struggle with procrastination or avoidance? 

Most people get into procrastination at some point. 

Have you ever heard of Anticipation Energy or Stimulus Management?

In this week's episode, I share one of my favorite brain hack tools: Anticipation Energy. 

Anticipation Energy is a Stimulus Tool you can use to overcome procrastination. It's a tool I regularly teach my coaching clients. It's also a great ADHD tool for managing your brain. 

It works by increasing the stimulus in your brain for a particular task by attaching that task to something positive you are anticipating. 

It starts with finding the right amount of stimulus that works for you.  Examples of regular stimuli would be playing music in the background to help you study or to work by standing up to finish writing certain emails. 

Anticipation Energy stimulus works by thinking of something you are looking forward to, like a trip you are taking or the excitement a child feels waiting for Santa Claus to deliver presents. The Anticipation of this event creates dopamine and adrenaline in our system. We then use that adrenaline to get the thing done we are avoiding. 

It's a powerful tool that works really well in situations where the task you have to complete does not have enough stimuli. 

Anticipation Energy helps you create the stimulus or the dopamine you need to follow through by connecting something you are excited about with something you need to get done.

I can't wait for you to give this tool a try!!

In this episode, you'll learn:

• What is Anticipation Energy
• What is Stimulus Management
• How to use the tool to improve your follow-through.
• Finding the right amount of stimulus that works for you.
• Ways to have moments of dopamine throughout the day.
• How to trick your brain into getting things done

Happy First Anniversary to the Yes Mujer, Build it! Podcast

I spent some time evaluating all the highs and lows of podcasting this past year. Here are some of the gems I share on this Podcast.

Podcasting is A LOT MORE WORK than I envisioned. It takes time to learn a new skill, commit to building an audience with marketing, and most importantly, commit to following through consistently with a weekly podcast.

At different points of the journey this year - there have been high highs and low lows.  Through it all, I have allowed myself to be guided by my 18 years of coaching. I honor all of the challenges. I honor the not-so-fun planning, scheduling, and tech issues. I also honor the DISCIPLINE it has taken to keep going. 

After 1 year, here are my biggest lessons:

Lesson 1- Podcasting can be hard work. It was more work than I had intentionally thought. 

Lesson 2- Podcasting requires an equal amount of time in marketing as in podcasting. Yes- Marketing!

Lesson 3- Podcasting has strengthened my consistency muscle.

Lesson 4- Podcasting has reminded me - I have A LOT to SAY. 

And I’m just getting started.

Thank you, thank you, thank to all my listeners, guests and support team who make this Podcast happen every week !

As a gratitude gift, we're thrilled to announce a Special Giveaway to our Listeners!.

I’m giving away 20 exclusive Yes Mujer, Build It! T-Shirts!!! The care package will be mailed to you.

Have you ever thought about your relationship with MONEY?
And how often do you talk about how much money you make or don't make?

3- Start to build an intentional relationship with MONEY

Have you ever felt like every time you try to get some traction on your goal, your fearful brain takes over?

Did you know your brain is literally trying to sabotage you from reaching your goals?

In this week’s episode of YES MUJER, BUILD IT! I explain how your brain is trying to stop you from having the life you really want. 

Our brain’s number one job is to keep us safe. This is great for surviving a cougar attack, but reaching a big goal can feel like a threat. It wants to keep us safe in our comfort boxes, even when we don’t want to be there. The brain tries to sabotage you with thoughts like: ‘It should have happened by now,’ ‘I’m not ready,’ and ‘I got lucky.’

But here’s the magic. Once you realize you are not your brain, you can choose different thoughts to expand beyond your comfort box and reach your goals. There is no luck. There is you and what you create, and it starts with managing your human brain. 

 In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The three common thoughts your brain uses against you.
• Why your brain wants to keep you safe.
• Recognizing that you are NOT your brain.
• Strategies to step out of your comfort box.
• Managing your brain to achieve your goal
• What to offer your Brain instead of the limiting thoughts

Have you experienced a life-altering event that made you question your entire belief system? 

I have. 

In this episode, I share my personal story of how I lost my younger brother, Rudy, in his 20s. His passing changed my life forever. It changed how I looked at life and how I felt about it myself, and ultimately, it changed my way of BEING. My brother’s death is one of the profound influences on why and how I coach today.

Losing a loved one is never easy, but when it comes as a complete surprise, it rocks your world in a profound, foundational way.  What I learned from my brother’s death is that nothing is certain in life. Anything can change at any time; therefore, our value and worthiness do not come from anything outside of us. This was my first awakening to understanding where my value really comes from, my relationship with me. 

Becoming a coach and the way in which I coach is in honor of my brother… I am honest, direct, and passionate about everyone doing the work. Because we only have this one precious life to live.  

In this episode, I share:

·       How you can shift perspectives after a shocking loss.

·       Why supporting the "average mujer" is essential for me.

·       Learning where Beliefs come from.

·       Navigating a belief system that will work for you

·       How to use tragedy as an awakening experience

·       Why life is a game and how to play it.

We are living in a Consumer society. 
But whatever happened to creating things, and tapping into our creator mindset??

In this week’s episode of YES MUJER, BUILD IT! I talk about the impact that Consumer versus Creator energy have on your life.

Creator and Consumer energy are two sources that guide your thinking when making life decisions. They determine your level of self-awareness and how often you look outside of yourself for answers.

Both energies can be useful, but only when you become the deciding factor on what you want to create.

Stepping into your Creator mode means using your intuition, innovation, and flow energy to create the answers for your life. By practicing this inner work, you start to feel the expansion of letting go of limiting boundaries and opening up to possibilities. Ultimately, you shift from consumer ideology to “I create the answers.”

In this episode, we cover:

- The difference between the Consumer energy and the Creator energy.
- Describe how each energy influences parts of your life.
- Why there isn’t a perfect tool to solve all your problems.
- Practical ways to step into the Creator mode.
- How to shift your awareness to navigate your self-management system.
- Why spending time in business creator mode is an important skill to learn.
