This episode is all about the ways you could be betraying yourself in your career. So much of what we are taught about the workplace and how we “should” show up at work is actually just self-betrayal. Listen for three specific things to watch out for that may be a sign you’re betraying yourself in your career.

Job interviews set the stage for the type of working relationship you will have if you decide to accept the position. That’s why advocating for yourself, even from the very beginning of that working relationship, is extremely important. In this episode, I go over ten ways that you can advocate for yourself during the job interview process. 

Plus, I share a story of a time I broke my own job interview rules and why it didn’t turn out well.

This episode is a conversation with Latina Leadership Coach Alejandra Thompson. We talked all things leadership, integrity, personal and career values, and community-building. We each shared our journey into becoming career coaches, what we learned along the way, and why it is so important for first gens and Latinas to invest in themselves and make bold commitments to their goals! We also talked about the importance of increasing your salary while honoring your values and uplifting your community.

Your next job is going to come from a person, not a job board. This is gonna require you to ask for help and to lean on others as you seek your next job opportunity. But this is something that can feel very, very dangerous if you have interpersonal wounds. 

In this episode, I talk about why asking for help can feel so dangerous and how to trust yourself that you CAN find people who are safe and who are rooting for you. In essence, you will have to diversify your support system the way you diversify all your other assets if you want to build wealth through a six-figure job. This episode can help you do that.

In this episode, I am interviewed by Andrea Ramos, a money coach on a mission to help first-gen WOC feel confident and empowered with their money. She asked such great questions about topics I don’t usually get to talk about on my podcast, such as my experience buying my home at the height of quarantine and the wild housing market. I also talk about transferable skills, switching industries, and why you need to love yourself more than you love your job. 

In this episode, I describe the three types of coffee chats you need to have that will help you increase your income. Each type of coffee chat is taking place during a different stage of the job hopping cycle, a framework I developed to help you job hop to six figures faster. Listen to learn what to say when you’re building new relationships, how to learn about new roles, and who to talk to even if you don’t know anyone in your life who is making six figures. 

Our careers are deeply personal. Not only do we spend about 40 hours per week in our chosen career, there is usually significant preparation and planning that goes into choosing that career. It’s also normal to envision the type of life you’ll have as you progress in that career. 

But careers, like most things in life, rarely go as planned, particularly when you’re a first gen professional who is learning to navigate the workforce without that generational knowledge that many of your colleagues have. That means that plans change. And when a plan that you were deeply excited about changes, it’s normal to grieve. 

In this episode, I talk about grieving the career you thought you would have. Even if the new path you’re taking is exciting, it’s normal to feel multiple, often conflicting emotions. You have to hold space for all the emotions, even the ones that aren’t super fun.

In this first episode of Season 4, I interview Wealth Para Todos Founder Rita-Soledad Fernández Paulino. Soledad is a former math-teacher turned money and self-care coach who is on a mission to make sure marginalized communities have a financial plan to retire early. I love her “self-care your way to early retirement” process and the way she makes financial literacy so approachable. We talked about the different types of self-care, why your wellness is essential to the collective, and how to get started.

My clients have collectively increased their salaries by $353k! I am still in awe of their accomplishments and so humbled by and grateful for allowing me to be part of their career journey!

In this episode, I talk about how they did it! I also spend some time reflecting on all their wins. Beyond the money, they have also achieved huge milestones and non-tangible wins, including traveling more, advocating for themselves, taking days off guilt-free, and so much more.

In this episode, I describe what to do before an interview so you can actually show up feeling calm, prepared, and confident. This is the exact process I use to prepare for when I am interviewing. I share how I help my clients adapt this process to best fit their needs, and how you can adapt it to your unique situation. I cover everything from getting into the right state of mind to knowing what questions to ask them. Remember that you are interviewing them too, so make sure you are ready to grill them as you prepare to interview the interviewer.

In this episode I interview my dear friend and first gen tech baddie Janzel Manalansan. Janzel is an early 30’s Filipino-American eldest daughter of immigrants who has leveraged her network and transferable skills to job hop every 15 months. One of the things I love about Janzel and why I invited her to the show is that she is so genuine in her approach to building relationships with people and so fantastic at advocating for herself. She talks about both of these things on the show as she shares her trajectory from public service to law to tech. She also talks about the importance and benefits of asking other people for help and how to grow your career by talking to people you want to talk to and being in places you want to be in. 

About today's guest:

Janzel is an early 30’s Filipino-American eldest daughter of immigrants.  She’s the first in her family to go to college, getting her Political Science - Public Service Bachelors from the University of California Davis in 2014.  She’s always been the kind of person who challenges her paradigms of the world and herself, with a focus on communities, whether leveraging, growing or celebrating them. Janzel originally planned on being an attorney to serve local communities, but after trying out both Big Law and smaller firms she pivoted her career to tech, for financial reasons, better work life balance and to follow her heart to San Francisco where her then long distance boyfriend resided.  She and her husband moved back home to Southern California in the pandemic and enjoy exploring coffee shops with their 3 year old goldendoodle Nova.

This episode is all about investing in yourself, and how to know if you're getting a good ROI (return on investment). I talk about all the ways I have invested in my own growth over the last few years, the doubts that creep up when deciding to make a big investment in yourself, and how you can have your own back even when the results are different from what you had imagined they would be. I talk about some wise investments and some "lesson-learned" investments, and how you are always in control and can choose something or someone else for a service if you are not vibing with your current doctor/coach/hairdresser/etc. _________

In this episode, I talk about how to get your resume to the top of the pile in 2023. Because yes, people are still looking at resumes this year and making hiring decisions before the end of the year. So whether this is your first time listening to the episode, or this is a refresher, make sure to take notes!

In this episode, I am interviewed by health and life coach Samantha Lee. Coach Sam is a Hmong-American, the eldest daughter of refugee/immigrant parents, a speaker, and a health coach that helps people of color (POC) lose weight and break out of following racist diet culture rules. I share insights on how to manage work stress, say no to your boss, set strong boundaries, and make BANK at the same time! Because no job is worth losing your health over. 

You can leave a job any time you want, for any reason that you want. But if you feel like you need a reason, this episode can help. I walk you through 5 signs it’s time to make a move in your career, and they range from very subtle and easy to miss, to  to huge red flashing neon warnings that it's time to make a change NOW.

Today's guest is Cat Oliva, a former client turned dear friend who increased her salary by $30k in 16 months. And she did this while working a government job!!! In this episode, Cat shares her journey. Y’all. I cannot tell you how honored I am to be part of Cat’s journey and how incredible it is to see her owning her strengths. During the time we worked together, Cat turned down not just one but TWO separate job offers and leveraged those offers into salary increases! 

Cat talks about how 1:1 coaching helped her get those raises by figuring out what she’s good at and leaning into it, showing her receipts to her boss, and learning to show up as the confident, highly-valuable badass that she is. This episode was an absolute joy to record and you’re going to get so many takeaways! 

This episode is going to help you get a new job faster! In 2022, I doubled the salary I had been making just 10 months prior. I did this by job hopping twice in one year. First from higher ed to healthcare, then from healthcare to tech. I reduced the time it took me to get each job offer from over four months to 90 days on the dot. This episode is all about the strategies I used to get each of those job offers, including the one thing that I did that was the most effective and, once implemented, was what made the difference in helping me secure the job offer each time. I also talk about the many, many mistakes I made in my job search the first time, and how I was able to course correct the second time around. Be ready to take notes because I will be dropping so much actionable advice! 

Dealing with a horrible boss is something that almost everyone will experience in their career. In this episode, I talk about two types of horrible bosses, and what to do when you are dealing with each. I also talk about how you can leverage this situation to catapult you to bigger and better things, and explain why managing your manager isn't for your manager's benefit, but rather for your benefit personally and the benefit of your career. 

If you are done dealing with your horrible boss and want to get a new job, book a discovery call to learn about 1:1 coaching! In this call, we will talk about your goals, values, and what you’re looking to get out of your career so you can ultimately decide if 1:1 career and mindset coaching is for you.

This conversation is all about the third step in this process: picking ONE job title and sticking with it.

A very common mistake that keeps people stuck in jobs they have outgrown is that they are not clear on what job they want to get next, so they waste so much time, energy, and mental effort applying to all different types of results.

THAT IS A RECIPE FOR BURNOUT!!!

By choosing one job title and sticking with it, you will be able to apply to more jobs in less time and you do so while preserving your energy and not letting your job search take over your life.

Remember, doors are open to my 1:1 coaching program! Inside 1:1 coaching, we will address the mindset issues that come up when you’re trying to get a new job. This is crucial, because you can have the best strategy in the world, but if your mind isn’t on board, you’re not gonna get far. Let’s reach your goals together!

This episode follows Getting a Job When You Don't Know Where to Start: Part 1! If you haven't listened to it, definitely check it out. You'll learn how to figure out what you're good at and what jobs pay you to do it.

Part 2 is all about narrowing down your list of potential jobs to the one specific job title you're going to start applying to. This will require you to talk to people who are currently in those jobs.  Ideally, you will be talking to 3-5 people whose work title is the same you are exploring. That means you’re talking to 9-15 people total!

And yes, talking to people can feel scary at first, but I promise it gets easier. Most people (especially those who agree to chat with you) are more than happy to talk about their job.

Here are some questions you can ask during your coffee chats:

• What are the key skills that someone in this job title would need?
• What is the career trajectory for this role like? What would be the best place for someone who is pivoting careers to start?
• What are your favorite parts of this job?
• What are the most challenging parts of this role?
• What’s the pay like for someone in this job? Are there bonuses or stock options in this position, company, or industry?
• What advice do you have for someone like me who is interested in transitioning into this role?

If this feels like a lot of questions, remember that it’s called an informational interview for a reason.
After your conversations, always, always, ALWAYS send a follow up thank you message!
Stay tuned for part 3!

Getting a new job in this job market can be daunting, especially when you don't know where to start. This episode is part of a three-part series dedicated to helping you get a job when you don't know where to start. You'll learn where to get started, which can be summarized into two steps:

• Step 1: Figure out what you're good at that you like doing

• Step 2: Find out which type of jobs will pay you to do that

Be ready to take notes! You will want to have your computer, phone, tablet, or wherever you take digital notes handy, because I will walk you through an exercise that has helped over a dozen clients figure out what they're good at and how to translate that into corporate terms. 

Motivation is simply not enough to help you get a new job. What you need is consistency and a plan to follow even when you're not motivated. In this episode, I go over the three-step plan you can implement when you're not feeling motivated to apply to jobs.

This episode is all about the societal forces that socialize women of color into low-paying careers in the nonprofit, education, and social services sector. I also share why it is urgent for WOC to leave these jobs, which are not only paying near poverty wages, but also have unrealistic workload expectations that harm our physical and mental health. All in the name of "giving back to our community" of course. Because that's the lie we've been fed. This is actually a re-release of one of the top 3 most downloaded episodes on the podcast. If you're new here, I am excited for you to listen to it for the first time! If you've heard this episode before, I strongly encourage you to listen to it again. To be clear, CORPORATE AMERICA IS NOT PERFECT!! But at the very least, it is not pretending that the only way people can give back to their communities is by dedicating their professional careers to exploitative nonprofit jobs. Lastly, this episode addresses the intersectional pay gap. Latina earners were paid just 52 cents for every dollar paid to a non-Hispanic white man in 2022. In this episode, I address what the Latina Pay Gap is and why is it a systemic failure and not the result of any individual shortcoming.

This episode is all about building community! I talk about how to find your people by putting yourself in places where you yourself want to be, how NOT to be exploitative or annoying, and why I don't think that everyone needs to go to "networking" events. I share how I prepare, because yes, even this super chatty extrovert needs to prepare. Whether that's the overachieving Virgo in me or simply the lingering effects of COVID that caused all of us to be out of practice talking to humans, who knows. But preparation is the key to confidence and to having a great time! Remember, it is NOT about "networking." It is not about transactional interactions that both of you will forget about right away. It is about building community. We are community beings and we need each other!

In this episode I interview my mastermind sibling Camila Cardozo, who is a brand strategist and content producer for conscious entrepreneurs and brands. Camila has such deep and beautiful insight about the power of authenticity. Because that’s what’s at the core of a personal brand: authenticity, your voice, your experience, and your power. 

We also talked about the ways in which assimilation has caused us collective wounds and the ways in which being authentic can help heal those wounds, and what steps you can take today to develop your personal brand and land your next job.

About today's guest:

Camila Cardozo is a brand strategist and content producer for conscious entrepreneurs and brands.Growing up as a first generation Colombian, code switching and changing her authentic self was her norm. By virtue of being from a different culture, she got very comfortable hiding her true self and compromising her realness for the sake of survival. But hiding her authentic self in all aspects of life was keeping her broke and lonely. When she decided to embrace ALL parts of her humanity, everything else started to click. 

In this episode, I walk you through helpful guidelines on what you can say during job interviews as your answer to many common questions. If you get tongue-tied at job interviews or feel like you can't express yourself clearly, this episode is for you. I recorded it based on the answers I got from my IG stories poll where over 60% of responders said this was their main concern during the job interview process. Now, if you're looking for guidance on what to say word-for-word, this episode is not it, and that's because that is NOT how you prepare to do well in a job interviews. Adding the stress of memorizing a script is only going to mentally take you out of the conversation. Because that's what job interviews are: a two-way conversation where you are determining if they're a company you want to invest your time and career in.

Tune in to hear helpful frameworks that will help speak more confidently during job interviews and will help you know what to say when you get asked common interview questions. I also share specific examples of how you can turn a career story that you're proud of into five different job interview answers.

Getting a new job offer does not have to be complicated. In this episode, I share the 4 steps you need to follow to get a new job offer! Because yes, getting a new job DOES require a strategy, but that doesn’t mean it has to be complicated. 

Listen for the four steps to get your next job offer in 2023. I dive deep into each step and make it as simple and clear as possible so you can tune out all the noise and focus on your results. 

In this episode, I talk about how to hack your resume with ChatGPT to get more job interviews. I start by grounding you in the knowledge that a single document could never encapsulate the amazing, expanding, outstanding person that you are. With that being said, the state of the job market is going to require self-advocacy and innovation, and that is where ChatGPT comes in.

Listen for:

• An easy to implement resume hack that will exponentially increase your likelihood of getting a job interview
• The exact prompts you can use to get the best responses from ChatGPT
• Beginner-friendly ways to use this innovative technology

In this episode, I describe why and how you need to change your approach to work. I talked about boundaries, communication, selfie energy & flaunting your achievements, keeping receipts to ask for a raise, leaning in to a mentor, and advocating for yourself at work. This is what job hopping is truly about. Because job hopping is not simply the action of switching jobs every 12-24 months. It's about detaching your identity from what you do for work!

Your cultural foods are not the enemy! That is one of the biggest takeaways from this episode with Food and Holistic Heath Coach Naihomy Jerez. We chatted about the politics of food and wellness, how to reject racists diet culture and reclaim the cultural foods that have been vilified, and what small steps each of us can take to live a life rooted in wellness. In addition to Naihomy being a phenomenal human with so much knowledge about women's hormone health, she is also my food and health coach! I share some pretty vulnerable things in this episode that I am revealing on air for the first time.

We also talked about how scarcity can show up and derail our goals, the power of mindset, and how generational healing is part of any holistic wealth journey. It also wouldn’t be a First Gen Coach Podcast episode if I’m not tying it back to systems, so we definitely addressed climate change, white women in corporate America, and farmworker’s rights.

About today's guest:

Naihomy is passionate about helping high-achieving women of color prevent and reverse disease by building holistic health habits, so they can live their BEST life!

She also specializes in food education, holistic wellness, hormonal health, and living her best life!

I am serving up some tough love in this episode and asking you to do some deep self reflection. I know you care about your community and that you care about your family, whether biological or chosen. But do you think highly of them? Or do you think that you, and you alone, have the responsibility to solve all their problems? Because if you think that the people you care about are helpless without you, then you my friend, have a Savior Complex.

The great news is that once you realize this, you can take steps to change it. Remember, when you heal yourself, you heal your community.

Are there similarities between Corporate America and Survivor? Absolutely! That is what this week's guest, Heidi Lagares-Greenblatt, runner up on Survivor 44, shares in this episode. We talked about her experience moving to the US by herself at the age of 23, how she has built community over and over again, and why she believes that there are so many similarities between succeeding on Survivor and succeeding in Corporate America. Heidi shares how she empowers the people around her, how she fearlessly goes after her dreams, and how to have fun even where there are so many things demanding our attention. Listen for the full scoop, and hear first-hand her record-breaking fire-making showdown on the island!

This episode is all about asking the right questions during the job interview process. I break down the different stages of a typical job interview process, and give you sample questions you should be asking at each stage. Asking the right questions will help you stand out as a candidate because it shows you did your research and are invested in the role. More importantly, asking the right questions will help YOU know whether that role and company are worth your time.

Is it a "good job" or is simply a way to control the workforce? In this episode, I break down the myth of the "good jobs" because what is usually referred to as a good job (family-sustaining wages, retirement benefits, paid leave, etc.) is actually just the bare minimum. I explain what a vesting schedule is and how employers use it to coerce employees into staying in places where they are not valued; give examples of the twisted dynamic that takes place when people are making deeply personal medical and family decisions based on employer-provided benefits; and spell out a brief history of why this is so commonplace.

Your job affects your mental health! I've said this many times over the last few years, and in this episode, first generation Latina therapist Daisy Gómez expands on how those effects show up and what you can do about it. Daisy, who is a licensed mental health therapist from Chicago, found her own well-being impacted by the heavy toll of direct service work, so she pivoted and found a way to use her skills, serve her community, AND prioritize her own mental health while doing it.

That is the biggest theme of this episode: prioritizing your own mental health. We talked about setting boundaries (my favorite!!!), choosing a therapist, and how your own individual healing journey actually has a ripple effect to those around you and allows them to heal as well! It is such a great conversation!

If you want to get a new job in the next six months, you need to take action now. If you want to job hop your way to six figures, you need to start your next job with your exit strategy in mind. Both of these goals can be reached with the three steps to job hopping that I detail in this episode. I talked about why each step is important, when to move on to the next step, and how to keep job hopping simple. I also shared examples of different podcast guests who have taken these steps to improve their careers and quality of life.

Today’s guest is Pegleess Barrios, a first gen Latina in Tech based in Ottawa. Pegleess has done some very cool things in her career! She founded the Latine Employee Resource Group (ERG) at Shopify while being in a junior role within the company, she is the co-founder of Latinas in Tech Canada chapter, and she built meaningful relationships that led to advancing in her career. But it wasn’t an easy path. We talked about crying in the bathroom, dealing with being rejected from 13 internal jobs, and how she found strength to keep going. 

We also talked about Pegleess’ involvement with Latinas in Tech Canada and the importance of community. Lastly, we talked about how first gens with no tech experience can transition to the tech industry, and whether it’s even still a good time to make this transition, given all the layoffs of the past year. 

PLUS: Pegleess shared a really cool way to evaluate a company before we apply to see if it’s worth the risk.

When WOC make more money, they help their communities. It's as simple as that. The cishet white capitalist patriarchy has lied to you and made you believe that the only way to help your community is to be self-sacrificial and work a low-paying job. That's is straight up BS! Releasing that BS, aka unlearning the lies society has taught you, is the first step in job hopping your way to a six figure salary. In this episode, I share the full roadmap to job hopping your way to a six figure salary, and why it is a moral imperative for you to be making more money.
