• 423: Career Advancement for Latinas in Tech
    Nov 14 2024

    Latinas represent barely 2% of the STEM workforce. With so few mentors and role models, how do Latina professionals get the support and guidance they need to get ahead?

    I speak to Lourdes Murillo, former Senior Program Manager at Meta and Hulu and

    Chapter Leader for Latinas in Tech.

    From DVDs to the early days of streaming, Lourdes shares her career journey with advice for people moving up the ladder including the support of groups like Latinas in Tech.

  • 422: Challenge and Conquer Thinking Traps
    Nov 4 2024

    Thinking traps are the distractions (or even obsessions!) that paralyze our thought process, stress us out, and prevent us from moving forward.

    How do you overcome thinking traps?

    I cover the top four thinking traps that used to keep me up at night:

    1. Catastrophe
    2. Mind reading
    3. Disqualifying the positive
    4. All-or-nothing thinking

    If these sound familiar, listen for strategies to smash through these obstacles.

    Learn how to challenge and reframe those thoughts.

  • 420: Overcome Limiting Beliefs
    Oct 21 2024

    How often do you say to yourself things like:

    • I won’t get that job because…
    • They won’t promote me because…
    • My ideas are no good…

    …even BEFORE you have tried?

    Limiting beliefs get in our way! These are the thoughts we tell ourselves that hold us back from trying something new. Too often these limiting beliefs are not based in reality. So how do you challenge them?

    I talk with Lindsay Benitez about what limiting beliefs look like, especially for Latinas, and she shares her three part framework for smashing them and moving forward!

    *Are you feeling stuck at work, but unsure what to do next?

    *Maybe you are looking for a new job but not seeing results?

    *Do you feel overwhelmed by all the advice that does not seem relatable for you?

  • 418: The Value of Staying at Your Job as a Strategic Career Move
    Oct 7 2024

    Maybe you had a bad meeting, a bad fiscal quarter, or something (someone) prompted you to think: "that’s it!"

    While it’s tempting to quit, there can be benefits to staying at your current job instead of looking for a new job right now.

    Today I talk about how staying (at least for a period of time) can work for you.

    Note: this is not “settling!” This is examining the root cause of your dissatisfaction and ensuring you have exhausted all options, and gotten the most out of your current job, before taking a leap.

    • What are the upsides of staying?
    • What steps can you take to strengthen your options?

    *Are you feeling stuck at work, but unsure what to do next?

    *Maybe you are looking for a new job but not seeing results?

    *Do you feel overwhelmed by all the advice that does not seem relatable for you?

  • 417: Elevate Your Image
    Sep 30 2024

    What do we mean when we talk about image (hint: it’s not just clothing!)? When you go after a big job, it is important to think through your image and style.

    I speak with Image Consultant and Personal Stylist Ashley Schafer about how women can define the image they want to project at work and make sure their style matches that image.

    We cover:

    • How to elevate your image as you move up the ladder within the same company
    • The challenges of business casual
    • Balancing office dress codes with your authentic style

    Ashley also shares her career journey from Big 4 to entrepreneurship, and the two important things she did before venturing out on her own.
