That marathon story still shocks me, that she thought she could run without training. 
Anyway, I will say that since our recording my husband has been taking her yoga classes twice a week and did her breath work workshop. He was having some anxiety and rapid heart rate and her classes and workshop has done wonders for him. He said he has learned SO MUCH about himself since starting to learn how to breath better. So….if you haven’t started following yet, check out her studio & join a class.

Hola & welcome to a NEW SEASON! 

This is Season 7, featuring Latina’s who are using their expertise to shift the norm, and truly elevate their culture in their businesses. 

I get so excited to talk to, and then support amazing women who are passionate and willing to pass on their education to others so they can have the same understanding and success in their own life. 

It's going to be an amazing season!

Heeeeeeey!
We’re wrapping up another amazing season of the Elevating la Cultura podcast. And we have made it past 3300 downloads! Thank you so much for all my listeners and for your continued support through each season. I’m especially grateful to each guest that takes time out of their day to share their story and offer education to our listeners.
What an incredibly amazing season. As I talked with each guest I could hear the excitement and passion about them choosing a career in the food industry, and more importantly they shared about how they were bringing their cultural roots into the products that they share. 
And with that….we come to the end of season 6.
With each season I take a break from producing episodes to prep for the next season. So I’ll be enjoying the rest of the holidays and probably come back with season 7 in February. 
Keep following along on IG, and make sure you’re on the email list so you’re up to date on all the good things that we’re planning for next year. 
But for now, it would be super appreciated if you can share this podcast on social, subscribe to our Youtube channel, or leave a review on apple podcasts so we can get more ears listening to these stories and we can continue elevating la cultura.
