I am Mantuana with Patricia Manley

Patricia Manley

Bienvenida a I Am Mantuana, el podcast donde las mujeres inmigrantes nos volvemos a creer lo poderosas que somos. Soy Patricia Manley: mujer en tech, mamá neurodiversa, speaker internacional y coach de carrera para mujeres latinas que están listas para dejar de sobrevivir en su trabajo… y empezar a avanzar con estrategia, autenticidad y alma. Aquí hablamos de lo que realmente pasa cuando emigras: ✔️ Cuando te sientes invisible aunque tengas mil talentos ✔️ Cuando tu voz tiembla en reuniones, aunque sepas de sobra lo que estás haciendo ✔️ Cuando te preguntas si de verdad vale la pena tanto esfuerzo... Y la respuesta es SÍ. Porque ser inmigrante no es una desventaja es tu superpoder. En cada episodio te traigo historias reales, herramientas prácticas y conversaciones sin filtro sobre mindset, marca personal, liderazgo, salud mental y más. Siempre desde nuestra perspectiva: la de mujeres que cruzaron fronteras, pero no están dispuestas a dejar atrás su ambición. Escúchalo con tu café, tu te o tu copa de vino. Pero eso sí: prepárate para sanar tu relación contigo misma, creértela otra vez y tomar el espacio profesional que te corresponde. 💥 Este es tu recordatorio semanal de que sí puedes y no estás sola.

    Episodio 97 - El Regreso a mis raices

    Después de años hablando en otro idioma, decidí volver a mi idioma del alma: el español. En este episodio te cuento por qué I Am Mantuana regresa a sus raíces, y cómo este cambio marca el inicio de una nueva etapa para mí… y para ti también.  A veces para avanzar hay que volver. Volver a lo que te hace sentir tú. Volver al idioma donde tus palabras suenan más sinceras. Volver a las raíces que te recuerdan de dónde vienes… y todo lo que ya has logrado. Después de varios años grabando este podcast en inglés, sentí que algo dentro de mí pedía regresar. Regresar al idioma en el que crecí, a mi cultura, a mi gente.   En este episodio escucharás: Porque no se puede inspirar desde un lugar en el que no te sientes tú. En este episodio, te cuento el porqué de este cambio y cómo reencontrarme con mi identidad fue el paso más importante para reconectar con mi propósito. Esta nueva etapa de I Am Mantuana está dedicada a todas las mujeres inmigrantes que están listas para recordarse quiénes son, recuperar su confianza y diseñar la carrera (y la vida) que merecen sin pedir permiso.  Puntos claves del episodio:  Por qué decidí volver al español después de varios años en inglés Qué representa “volver a las raíces” a nivel profesional y emocional Cómo este cambio refleja un cierre de ciclo y un nuevo comienzo Un recordatorio para ti: nunca perdiste tu esencia, solo está esperando que la escuches La frase del episodio:  "Volver a tus raíces no es retroceder. Es recordar quién eres para avanzar con más poder." Gracias por escucharme y no dejes de visitarme en https://patriciamanley.com

    Episode 96 - Breaking free from being invisible: My Story

    Today's episode is one that's close to my heart because it's about something I've struggled with – feeling invisible. I want to share my journey with you, from doubting myself to finally realizing that I deserve recognition. Let's talk about how I did it and how you can too. Episode Highlights: My Journey: Doubts and Triumphs: So, picture this – I got nominated for an award, and my first reaction was, "Me? Are they sure?" But you know what? I ended up winning second place in my category. It was a rollercoaster of self-discovery and resilience, and I want to share every twist and turn with you.What I Noticed: Along the way, I couldn't help but notice how other women promoted themselves. Some were loud and proud, while others were more subtle. I took notes, learned a few tricks, and I'm ready to spill the beans.Beating Impostor Syndrome: Let's talk about impostor syndrome – that feeling of not being good enough. Yeah, I've been there too. But guess what? It's not a disease; it's just a moment of growth. I'll tell you how I stopped letting it hold me back, and how you can do the same.Our cultural and social nuances: I talked about all those messages that from very early age we get about how we should behave: humble, quiet and "lady like" that takes us to as adult feeling that we don't deserve talk about our successesActionable Insights: You're Worth It: Seriously, you are. Whether you're up for an award or just trying to get noticed at work, remember that you deserve recognition. Don't let anyone – including yourself – tell you otherwise.Be You, Be Bold: Self-promotion doesn't have to be sleazy. Find your own style and own it. Whether you're shouting from the rooftops or making subtle moves, just be authentically you.Embrace the Journey: Feeling like an impostor is part of the journey, not the destination. Embrace it, learn from it, and keep moving forward. You've got this.Gracias por escucharme y no dejes de visitarme en https://patriciamanley.com
