Slow Down Your Day With Coffee, Literally
Are you one of those take your coffee and run people? Using coffee as a pick me up rather than a slow me down?
This Pod Club episode is for you!
Get the insights on last week's episode, with our featured guest, Gardenia Rosales, Founder of Cipota Coffee as we dive into the valuable gems she brought forward.
Today's episode changes the American way of slamming coffee into the Salvadoran way of appreciating and savoring café as a way of life, rich with a deep relationship to the process and its people. They feel like family now!
As they should, because we loooove our cafecito and now have more gratitude for each loving step of the process of coffee growing and roasting it to perfection. Change how you treat that treasured cup of coffee by carving out time to feel the love and warmth of the people who bring it to you.

Getting Past Scarcity Mentality to Dream Big and Take Risks
This is a Pod Club episode that gives us insight to what we listened to last week with our featured guest, Leticia Lopez. We take time to really sit in the valuable gems that she brought forward and what it means in living the #FirstGenVida.
There are two real gems: First, learning how to speak so you are heard. And second, if people are hearing you then why not tell them your big dream? Or, is dreaming big too big a risk for you or others?
It's all about getting beyond scarcity mindset, that limiting thinking that keeps you from dreaming big for fear of losing what you have. After all, it's better that what your parents had so isn't that good enough? No!
If we love ourselves, then we are worth the risk to live the dreams that we want, not the ones others had for us.
If you missed last week's episode with Leticia Lopez no worries! This episode stands on its own.
