23. All You Need To Do Is Start!

September brought big changes—I turned 40, lost my beloved dog Bowser, and welcomed a rescued pup into my life. Family transitions and chaos disrupted my routine, just as I was starting a new nutrition plan.

Life gets messy, and sometimes we lose the energy to continue what we started. Bu as my nutritionist reminded me: "To retake your routine, all you have to do is retake it."

This applies to learning English too. If you started this year—or even last month—but paused or never began, it's never too late. You just need to start.

I love seeing people begin in the last quarter of the year—it's the perfect time to focus and make progress.

22. From Self-Doubt To The EMPOWERment Zone

Meet Sarahí, one of my former students, whose journey proves that growth doesn't wait for perfect conditions—neither in life nor in audio!

(Yes, my mic didn't connect properly when we recorded, but you're already hearing the fixed version. I kept this episode because real calls aren´t always crystal clear either—and that's a skill worth practicing!)

In this episode, Sarahí shares:

  • Her journey with English and how it opened new doors
  • The challenges she faced in 2023 after landing a job that required strong language skills
  • Her experience inside the program and how she navigated personal and professional transformation
  • How her progress in English carried over into other areas of life
  • Her biggest takeaways and encouragement for anyone facing similar struggles

20. Flexibility: Your Secret Growth Strategy

Are you stuck in the "all or nothing" cycle—going all in with your english practice and then burning out, or doing nothing at all and feeling guilty about it?


In this episode, I share my own struggles with consistency (yes, even after 20 episodes!) and how I've learned to adjust, restructure, and give myself permission to try again—lessons that apply directly to building your communication skills in English.


If you've ever started an English course full of energy only to lose momentum, or if you've been waiting for the "perfect moment" to start, this one's for you.


You don't need to go to extremes to make real progress—you just need the right process.

18. From Introversion to Public Speaking

I used to be so shy that I couldn't even ask for candy at the store when I was little—I'd whisper in my brother's ear so he could ask for me.

Now I train teams, lead presentations, and host this podcast. And here's the twist: I'm still an introvert.

In this episode, I share:

  • The difference between introversion and shyness
  • What helped me move past the fear of public speaking
  • 3 things you can start doing today to build confidence


If speaking in English still feels intimidating, know this: the goal isn't to be perfect—it's to take your next step.

And if you're ready for a structured, supportive space to grow, my Business Empowerment program starts on September 12.

17. The customer is NOT always right

You may think you need more grammar or vocabulary...

But what if the real problem is something deeper—like fear, hesitation, or self-doubt?

In this episode, I share what I've learned after mentoring hundreds of professionals who want to feel more fluent and confident speaking English at work. Most of them come to me asking for more words or more practice—but what they really need is to start experiencing English differently.

Confidence doesn't come from studying more. It comes from doing—from creating new expowering experiences that help you trust yourself when you speak.

That's why I opened doors to the Business Empowerment Program—a space where we not only practice English for real work situations (meetings, presentations, interviews), but also address the fears and limiting beliefs that hold you back.

If you're tired of second-guessing yourself in English or staying quiet even when you have something to say, this episode is for you.

Listen now—and if you're ready to step into 2026 with a new level of confidence, check this link and join the program.

16. Is fear my friend or my enemy?

What if fear wasn't the villain... but the push you needed?


In this episode, I open up about one of the most uncertain seasons of my life—the moment fear knocked on my door and forced me to take action. You'll hear the story behind how I ended up teaching English online, not as a backup plan, but as a bold, conscious decision during a difficult time for my family.


Here's what I share with you today:

1. How fear helped me move instead of staying stuck

2. The exact steps I followed to turn a question into a plan.

3. How to use fear as fuel for growth—not paralysis.


This episode is for anyone facing uncertainty or wondering what to do with the fear that sneaks in when life takes a turn.

15. It’s not my English—it’s your expectations

When did "native" become the benchmark?

It's 2025, and someone told me my accent wasn't native enough—for a project similar to many I've delivered before.

It hurt. I started doubting myself.

And maybe you've been there too—wondering if your English is "good enough," or worse, feeling like you have to sound native.

Here's what I realized:

  1. You don't need to sound native to be valuable.
  2. You have the right to stand up for your work and your voice.
  3. You're allowed to ask, to negotiate, and to take up space.


If you've ever felt small because of your accent, you're not alone.

The real problem isn't how you sound—it's how others expect you to sound.

What do you think? Let's talk in the comments.

14. How can I connect with my feminine side again?

What happens when you lose touch with your feminine energy and your English fluency... but find your way back to both?


In this episode, I sit down with Analú, marketing expert and founder of Glint Accesorios GT—a brand that helps women reconnect with their feminine energy through intentional accessories.


We talk about her bold journey of reclaiming her confidence in English—how in just 2 months, she went from self-doubt to fluency by taking small, intentional steps (including sending that one scary voice note).


We dive into:

  • What feminine energy really means—and why so many of us lose it.
  • The purpose behind launching Glint.
  • The meaning of "wellness" and how our Wellness Club (co-hosted with Analú) brings together emotional, physical, and mindset support for women.


If you've ever felt disconnected from yourself—your voice, your energy, your purpose—this conversation will remind you that it's all still there... sometimes you just need a little push.

13. I lost my job… and my identity!

I got laid off from what I consider the worst job I've ever had. I had even tried to quit before it happened. And yet, when I lost it—not by choice, not on my terms—it shook me.


I didn't realize how much of my identity was wrapped around a job title... until it was gone.


In this episode, I open up about:

  • The emotional difference between quitting and being laid off
  • Why your identity is not your job, your achievements, or your knowledge
  • How a simple book review reminded me: every moment is a chance to re-discover yourself


Some reminders:

  • You are not your English level
  • You are not your results
  • You are not what others think of your work


So... who are you?

12. Feel It to Heal It: Why English feels like jealousy sometimes

We sat down for an honest conversation about jealousy—in relationships, in friendships, and in everyday life. There was laughter, nerves, and powerful vulnerability.


Two of my students (Dania and Mafer) joined me today, even though they were anxious about speaking English on the podcast. They took the challenge. They shared their voices, their stories, and created something meaningful—evidence that they can speak English, even when fear is present.


This is a reminder that growth happens outside the comfort zone—and that courage isn't the absence of fear, but moving forward despite it.


If you've been hesitating to practice, let their bravery inspire you to take the first step. Join us, and create your own proof that it's possible for you too.

11. Small Habits, Big Skills

Let's get real: no one builds a solid skill in 3 months.


In this episode, I break down the hours, the habits, and the real work behind learning English over the long haul. No hacks—just honest insight from over two decades of doing it myself.


My intention is that you walk away with clarity, motivation, and permission to grow at your own pace. So if you've ever felt behind or not "good enough," this one's for you.


Small actions, done often, lead to big change.

10. The magic behind deadlines

Deadlines used to stress me out. Now they keep me sharp.

Here's what you'll take away:

  • How deadlines boost focus, prioritization, and motivation.
  • Why open schedules kill progress (in English and in life)
  • The mindset shift that helped me stay consistent even when things go wrong


Watch the full episode to shift your perspective on deadlines—and finally get things done.

  • The hidden cost of staying silent, and,

8. It's not a lack of time or money

You want it. You know it’ll help. But you still don’t go for it.


Some of the ideas covered in this episode:

  • Why we delay action on the things we want most
  • How getting a guide can save you years of going in circles
  • How “I don’t have time” and “I don’t have money” are often just masks for something else

    6. A conversation on self-compassion

    This podcast is a space where fear takes a back seat and learning comes from real, vulnerable conversations.


    Today, I had the honor of speaking with Silvia — a student who courageously accepted my invitation to have a public conversation in English. If you’ve ever tried to express yourself in another language, you know how exposed that can feel (I’ve been there too).


    Our conversation focuses on self-compassion, and it led us to explore:

    • What it really means to treat ourselves with kindness
    • How changing our vocabulary can shift our perspective
    • The role of self-care in building confidence
    • 4 important lessons from this chat — especially for those struggling with self-judgement


    We hope this episode helps you feel seen and reminds you: Your English is already a powerful tool. Let it guide you through meaningful moments like this one.

    5. Reclaim your power and access your mind

    A recent conversation with one of my students sparked this episode.


    Have you ever gone blank when speaking English in front of people you care about? You're not alone — and it's not just a language issue. It’s your nervous system trying to protect you.


    In this episode, I explore what’s really happening in your body and brain during those high-stress moments:

    1. The role of your sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems
    2. How your amygdala hijacks your thinking, and
    3. Why your memory fails when you are under pressure


    Most importantly, I share practical tools to shift from survival mode to a state of calm and presence — so you can access your words, your clarity, and your power.


    Whether you're learning English or navigating high-stakes conversations, this episode will help you reconnect with your voice and reclaim control from the inside out.
