Am I like Bertha and is he like George? A deep dive into the Gilded Age Power Couple of the Moment!

Am I like Bertha, and is he George? A deep dive into the Gilded Age Power Couple of the Moment!
In this episode, we’re diving into one of the most compelling relationships on TV — George and Bertha Russell from The Gilded Age. Join us (a real-life couple!) as we unpack the dynamic between ambition and love, money and loyalty, social climbing and staying grounded.
We’ll explore questions like:
How does George support Bertha’s relentless climb through New York society?
Is their relationship a blueprint for modern power couples or just gilded fantasy?
What do you think makes George and Bertha’s marriage so solid despite all the pressure and ambition?
Bertha is the social climber, and George is the financier. Who holds the real power in their marriage — and why?
Would their relationship survive in 2025, where ambition in women can still be controversial?

🎙️ Q&A: Career, Confidence & Real Talk with the Next Generation

🎙️ Q&A: Career, Confidence & Real Talk with the Next Generation
In this episode, I’m answering real questions from a group of ambitious young women at the University of St. Thomas — all about career moves, relationships, money, and the lessons life teaches you along the way.
They asked, “How did you do this?” and “How did you navigate that?” — so I’m opening up about what I’ve learned through nearly three decades of experience in education, entrepreneurship, e-commerce, and real estate.
Whether you're just starting out or you're pivoting into a new season, this is the advice I wish someone had given me in my 20s — honest, hard-earned, and full of heart.
Grab your cafecito, and let’s get into it. ☕✨

Flackback Friday! Two of our Favorite Father's Day Episodes of the Past!

Flackback Friday! Two of our Favorite Father's Day Episodes of the Past! 
HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 
 Part 1:
In 2021, I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Leonardo Velasquez, a master puppeteer with a lifelong mission of bringing happiness and education to our schoolchildren. Coming from Venezuela, he knew that he had one chance to make something of his life, and that meant multiple sacrifices for himself and his daughter Camila.
Mr. Leonardo shares his daughter's coming out story with us and how he knew she needed his unconditional love and acceptance. Ultimately, love is the unifying message in all that he does, and it shows in everything that he creates!
Part 2: We are celebrating young fathers! My two guests, my brother Jose Araujo Jr and dear friend Matthew Mitchell, were very young when they became dads. In this sweet episode, we discussed the challenges that young fathers face in today's world.  Listen in to a sweet and thoughtful conversation with two dads doing their best to give their kids the best possible dad.

Cowardice is Contagious, but So is Courage. My thoughts on the state of our Country 💔

I'm heartbroken about the events of the last few weeks. I feel drained and depleted.  However, I refuse to allow the current White House Administration to take any joy I feel away from me.  I'm holding on to hope. I'm holding on to those I love to keep me grounded and off the proverbial ledge. 
I'm here for you; you're not alone in feeling hopeless and sad.  I won't sit here and pretend the world isn't burning, because it is.  But let's encounter this together and let's fight together.  Take time to protect your energy, your happy bubble. Delete those who celebrate cruelty, I give you permission.
I love you, and thank you for being here!

Like Now, It's out Time: Reinvention in Midlife with Lorett Cuadra & Dhara Mistry
Lorett Cuadra and Dhara Mistry join us to share their captivating journeys of transformation, proving that reinvention is not just possible but immensely rewarding. Lorett, who pivoted from a corporate career to founding Bombochiya, a luxury handbag boutique, and Dhara, who transitioned from an HR executive to an executive leadership coach, demonstrate the power of embracing change and pursuing new dreams. Their stories illuminate the challenges and triumphs of career pivots, particularly the societal perceptions of assertiveness in women and the unique challenges faced by first-generation women and women of color.
We explore the emotional rollercoaster of career transitions, from the setbacks faced when dreams like owning a resale shop are dashed, to the resilience required to rise again as a "momager" and luxury brand connector. The episode dives into personal anecdotes of overcoming imposter syndrome, a scam's financial fallout, and the resilience needed to pivot into a new professional chapter. The narratives highlight personal growth, the importance of community support, and the courage to stand against societal stereotypes.
Listeners are treated to insights on financial preparedness, setting personal boundaries, and aligning personal values with professional roles. The discussion also ventures into sustainable fashion, eco-friendly practices, and the world of luxury handbags, offering practical advice for those considering similar paths. This episode is a testament to empowerment and self-care, reminding us that it's never too late to rewrite our stories and embrace new beginnings.
