    How to Build Community, Land Brand Deals, and Show Up Confident with Yvonne "Spoiled Latina" Guidry

    What does it actually take to build a personal brand that last-while raising a kid, keeping a marriage solid, and still showing up like the main character? This week, Paulina sits down with Yvonne Guidry (aka Spoiled Latina) to talk about the real work behind longevity: how she turned a blog into a platform, landed major brand partnerships, and built the Spoiled Latina Summit into a community thousands of women have walked through.  They get into the difference between “networking” and building relationships, why the follow-up is where the transaction happens, how to walk into any room with confidence, and what to focus on when you’re trying to get people in seats for your own event.

    How to Build a Business That Pays You and Protects Your Peace with Marisa Carrillo

    This week on The Mami Collective Podcast, Paulina sits down with Chicago event planner, coach, and multi-business owner Marisa Carrillo for the kind of conversation every ambitious mom needs in her back pocket: how to build a business that actually supports your life — not consumes it. Marisa gets real about what people romanticize about events (the pretty photos) vs. what’s actually happening behind the scenes (emotional labor, all-nighters, decision fatigue). She breaks down the systems and boundaries that keep her booked, paid, and sane — including her PTBR framework (priorities, time blocking, boundaries, and rest), why undercharging will literally train people to value you less, and how to raise your rates without spiraling into people-pleasing.  If you’ve been doing “the most” for “not enough,” consider this your sign: we’re building smarter this year.

    Why You Don’t Have to Disappear to Be a Good Mom

    This episode is a real reintroduction to Paulina Roe and the why behind The Mami Collective, without the highlight reel. Paulina shares the fear she had becoming a mom, the pressure to “tone it down,” and the truth she wishes someone said sooner: you don’t have to disappear to be a good mom. If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, worried you’d lose yourself in motherhood, or found yourself shrinking to fit what people expect, this one is for you. Paulina breaks down what this community was built for, what you’ve created together, and where The Mami Collective is headed next: more intentional rooms, deeper connection, and programming that actually supports moms building real lives. Because you’re allowed to want both, and you don’t have to do it alone.
