Todays episode is FUEGOOOO!!!I hope you're ready hermana! I had the absolute honour of interviewing 5 of my fellow Latina Sistahood members who have been healing generational trauma and completely transforming their lives and shifting the landscape of the Latin community.As a Latina who grew up in an environment where working on yourself and healing was unheard of or taboo, it was very important for me to be the example of whats possible when WOC do this work. When you see yourself through other women, it gives you hope and inspiration to keep going.These women do just that for me. Each one with their own powerful story and legacy to leave.I hope you see yourself in their remarkable stories and realise that Si Ella puede, TU PUEDES.Meet the panel:Angelica Vazquez - Abundance Life Coach Connect with her here: https://www.instagram.com/livingthebadasslife11/Nereyda Martinez - Self Care Motherhood Circle Facilitator Connect with her here: https://www.instagram.com/nereyda.martinJexsaida Flores - Confidence CoachConnect with her here: https://www.instagram.com/fierce_leadhership_coaching/Join her free group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/234838494831195/Jannese Torres - Money mentor for LatinasListen to her podcast or work with her here: www.yoquierodineropodcast.comConnect with her here: www.instagram.com/yoquierodineropodcast and www.twitter.com/dineropodcastLianne Torres - Podcast host at Watch Us Thrive PodcastConnect with her here: www.instagram.com/watchusthrivepodcast and www.twitter.com/wutpodcast_ and www.tiktok.com/@watchusthrivepodcastREADY TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE?Join us in the SISTAHOODWHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?

Relationships are such a massive topic, one I have done quite a few episodes on.This episode in particular was a listener request. I recently asked my Instagram audience to tell me what they wanted to hear on the podcast and I got this question a few times.Shout out to Mel who asked me "How did you learn to trust your husband (Hamish) after being in multiple relationships with people who treated you badly"I had many "failed" relationships before my marriage to Hamish and each of them taught me so much about MYSELF and how I was treating me.Today I share how you can start to build trust and create an incredible romantic relationship that lights you up and fulfils you.It is possible to find DEEP, lasting love. I have it and I never thought I would.I hope this episode inspires you to pull your journal out and get to "Sherlock Holmesing"Want to take this work deeper?Join The Sistahood waitlist and be the first to know when we open the doors.Episodes mentioned: Single Ladies series - Date YourselfSingle Ladies Series - Watch them RED flags  This is one for the Lovers ft.

Today's episode is on a topic a lot of my listeners have requested I talk about… FRIENDSHIPS!So many of us struggle with balancing friendships, especially as we grow and evolve.We think we are not supposed to shift friends or let go of friendships that no longer serve. This simply isn't true, as we change and shift so will friendships and sometimes we have to let some friends go.I've found that a lot of us really struggle with communicating clearly what is happening for us as we grow and other people around us are not.  And then things can get a bit tricky..Feelings can get hurt, resentments can build, and assumptions can be made.  When we find ourselves in the position of having outgrown a friendship it is our responsibility to communicate clearly and to take a step back and assess how and why we attracted these friends into our lives.  How do we do this?  Tune in as I share some insights and action steps you can take to help you navigate when your friendships get tricky!WHERE TO CONNECT WITH ERIKA:Come say hello on Instagram!  @thequeenofconfidenceFind me on FacebookWant to watch some behind the scenes & vlogs?
