Carrie Peralta had so many great nuggets of wisdom and inspiration. I had such a great time talking to her in this conversation and again listening back to our recording.

This is one of those episode you need to listen to several times a year.

Decide on yourself, girl!
Choose your hard.

Changing careers, starting a side hustle or replacing your 9 to 5 with a business is hard. But so is staying stuck in a passionless job that no longer lights you up or fills your cup.

What will you choose?

Listen to my conversation with Carrie Peralta in episode 44 of Modern Latina in Midlife for a dose of inspiration.

🌮 What do tacos and online service providers have in common? 👩‍💻

Hey there coaches, healers and soulpreneurs! Let's taco 'bout a deliciously surprising parallel between everyone's favorite food and my online services. 🌮 👩‍💻

1️⃣ Variety is the Spice of Life:
Just like tacos that can be filled with all kinds of flavorsome ingredients, my online services provide a diverse array of options to cater to various needs and preferences. There's something for everyone, from veggie lovers to those craving some extra heat! 🔥

2️⃣ Customization is Key:
Whether it's selecting your taco toppings or tailoring online services, customization allows for a personalized experience. You choose what you want, and how you want it! 🌮💻 Whether it’s month to month support, getting a one time project done, or need help strategizing on next steps.

3️⃣ Fast and Convenient:
Craving a taco? Head to the nearest taco stand! Need support in your business? One DM and you're there! Both tacos and my online services are about delivering what you need efficiently and conveniently. 🏃💨

So when you sit down to have your tacos today for Taco Tuesday, make a list of the things you could use some support in and let’s taco “bout it! 🙌🏼

Email me at [email protected] and we’ll set up a Clarity Call to figure out where and if I can help you move the needle in your business.

Also, where are my fellow taco lovers??? Drop a 🌮 in the comments and share with me your favorite taco.
I’ll go first, al pastor tacos from the streets of Mexico City. Pineapple and all. Yum!

Can we play a game about your to-do list? 📝

Is it:
A) always completed in the designated time frame,

B) growing at a faster rate than you can cross things off, or

C) something different altogether?

Most often, my answer is A because I'm a firm believer in staying organized and focused. If it's not on my to-do list, it doesn't get done! 🤷🏻‍♀️

What about you? 🅰️, 🅱️ or C?

It might seem strange, but my favorite part of being a virtual assistant and podcast producer to coaches, therapists and healers isn't being able to work from anywhere... it's seeing the progress and successes my clients achieve through our hard work and collaboration and the confidence they show up with regularly once we launch their podcast. 🎙️

Of course, being able to work on my own terms is a nice bonus, but being a virtual assistant and podcast producer working from home is about so much more than the perks. I truly love empowering my clients to amplify their voices and reach their ideal audience. I feel so fortunate to spend each day doing work I'm passionate about.💕

That's why I’m excited to invite you to my upcoming free live masterclass – The Podcast Power Hour taking place on Monday, June 26th at 5pm PDT.

In this masterclass, I'll be sharing my proven strategies to help you set up the foundational pieces to start your podcast. You will learn to clarify your message, identify your audience and name your podcast.

If you've been thinking about amplifying your soul message and expanding your reach by starting your own podcast but want to stop second-guessing yourself, you won’t want to miss out on this exclusive opportunity to learn from an expert in the field.

Do you ever find yourself lost in daydreams, imagining what life would be like if you had made different choices?

As a podcast producer and virtual assistant, I often wonder what it would be like if I had pursued a career in fashion design like I wanted to as a teenager. Would I still be able to help soulpreneurs amplify their voices and reach their ideal audience?

Who knows, but it's always fun to imagine the possibilities!

What about you? Have you ever wondered "what if" about your career or life choices?

Feliz Cinco de Mayo, amigos! 🥂

Anyone know the history of this holiday? Long story short, the underdogs WIN, so why not celebrate?!

Despite the twists and turns life has thrown my way, I've been running this business full-time successfully for 4 years!

Let’s raise a glass to those who don’t give up even when the odds are stacked against us.

My glass contains a spicy margarita, and I want to know:

A) What are you drinking; and
B) What long-shot victory are you toasting to today?

Hola amigas! 👋🏽

Noticed a few new faces around here and thought it was time to reintroduce myself.

I’m a first-generation Latina. An Online Business Manager, Virtual Assistant and Podcast Producer for womenpreneurs- I help coaches, therapists and healers reduce the overwhelm of running their businesses so they can focus on sharing their medicine with the world. 💫

I’m a manifestor generator in Human Design, which makes me perfect for this role – I get *ish done 📝, plus, I have the ability to learn just about anything.

In 2015, I took an online support chat gig as a way to stay out of boredom while my teenage sons were in school. I started offering online marketing tips and suggestions to my very first client and soon after officially started my Virtual Assistant business. 💻

I enjoy supporting women and helping them grow their businesses, freeing up their time and energy so they can focus on their passion and empower more women with their own magic. 💪🏽

In 2018, my life took a very unexpected turn. My son was going through a mental health crisis and as the mama bear that I am, I stepped up to the occasion. Not something that my partner of 7 years had the ability to support me with physically or emotionally. From one day to the next, I was forced to pack my bags and turn this little part-time gig into my full-time career, and financially support my son and me.

Within two weeks, I was up and running with a full roster of women entrepeneurs. That’s what women do when we work in community. We support one another. 🪜

That’s when I vowed to support and empower other women. To pay it forward. And that is exactly what building this business has allowed me to do.

In addition to having flexibility in my business and understanding from my wonderful clients, I was able to support my son on his journey back to health. 😭 💖

I LOVE helping womenpreneurs by managing their businesses, helping them stay organized and on track, launching and producing podcasts, creating social media strategies, creating and maintaining websites, sending out their newsletters, design lead magnets and even publish books! 👩🏽‍💻

I’m also a mom of two handsome sons. I love hiking, reading, learning new things, traveling, culture, decorating, fashion, dancing…and all things Latine.

So keep an eye out for my occasional posts. I like sharing what is happening in the world of podcasting, social media and keeping your business running smoothly.

If you have any questions or are ready to explore getting help in your business, send me a DM or book a Clarity Call (link in bio). 📨

I look forward to chatting and getting to know you. 💁🏽‍♀️
