The Brave Table with Dr. Neeta Bhushan 334: How This Teen Mom Became a Nurse, Pilot & Serial Entrepreneur (with Chezka Gonzales)
What if every detour in your life was actually a divine redirection toward your greatest purpose? In this bold and beautiful conversation, I sit down with the multitalented Filipina powerhouse Chezka Gonzales—pilot, nurse, military sergeant, blockchain entrepreneur, and co-founder of Michael Cinco Auto Artistry. Her story reads like a Netflix series: teen mom at 16, nurse by 21, pilot by 25, and serial entrepreneur by 30—she’s done it all and then some.
Chezka’s journey is a living masterclass in reinvention, feminine leadership, and divine trust. We talk about navigating loss, leaning into intuition, embracing your “multi-passionate” identity, and how to boldly enter rooms you don’t feel ready for.
Whether you’re pivoting careers, recovering from a life quake, or feeling stuck in one identity—this episode is your permission slip to start messy, dream big, and move anyway.
What you'll get out of this episode…
- How Chezka transformed teen motherhood into a launchpad for epic impact.
- What happens when you follow divine breadcrumbs instead of fixed life plans?
- Why your next chapter might live inside your biggest breakdown or career detour.
- How to stop letting labels define you—and start embracing your multifaceted self.
- What Chezka learned about intuition, feminine energy, and taking bold action—even when you’re scared.
