EP 85: The Energy Shift That Transformed My Life
I’m so excited to share today's episode with you, where I dive into how I work with clients and how my personal experiences shaped my approach to healing and energy work. My intention here is to show you that no matter what you’ve been through or the challenges you’ve faced, you have the power to create the life you desire.
From Struggles to Success: My Journey
I grew up in Napa, California, as the eldest daughter of Mexican-American immigrants. My parents faced tremendous challenges, including my father's battle with alcoholism. My mom navigated life in a new country without a strong support system, and I, as the oldest, took on many adult responsibilities early on.
As a first-generation American, I had to grow up quickly. I was the translator for my parents and often felt the weight of being a child and yet, taking on roles far beyond my years. This early responsibility, combined with strict parental rules and a lot of fear-based discipline, shaped me in ways I’m still uncovering today.
But it also sparked a rebellious fire in me. I pushed back when things didn’t feel fair when my desires weren’t seen or acknowledged. I knew that I didn’t want to live a life like the one I was witnessing. I wanted more for myself. I wanted to leave Napa, go to college, and experience a life beyond the limitations I saw.
The Power of Persistence and Overcoming Doubt
The road to success wasn’t easy. I was the first in my family to attend college, and the process was confusing and overwhelming. I didn’t have anyone guiding me through the ins and outs of the application process, and despite my academic success, I was told by counselors that I wouldn’t make it to a top school because of my low SAT scores.
But I didn’t let that stop me. I followed my intuition and pushed through, applying to UC Berkeley despite the odds. I knew there was more for me, even if others couldn’t see it. I continued to face adversity, both within my family and in my own self-doubt. But I kept going.
How Energy Affects Your Reality
After college, I moved to Los Angeles with a dream in mind. I got a job in publicity, but quickly realized it wasn’t my path. I dabbled in TV hosting but faced the harsh realities of the Hollywood industry. I worked as a commercial actress, which came with daily rejection and setbacks. But through it all, I built resilience.
What stood out to me most during my time in casting was how energy plays a crucial role in success. It wasn’t always the best actor or personality that got the job; it was the energy they brought into the room. The ones who stood out were magnetic—they exuded confidence and clarity. It made me realize how important energy is in everything we do.
The Role of Healing in Manifestation
I’ve always known that energy and healing are key to transforming your life, but it wasn’t until I started incorporating breathwork and therapy into my life that I truly understood their power. Breathwork was life-changing, and I eventually decided to share it with others. Over the last 10 years, I’ve guided people through healing circles, and I’ve seen how transformative it can be.
In my work, I combine energy practices with practical strategies to help people move past their blocks and manifest the life they desire. I guide clients to heal their wounds and shift their mindset so they can take empowered actions toward their dreams.
Shifting Energy to Break Free from Limiting Beliefs
One powerful example of this is a recent conversation I had with a client who struggled with imposter syndrome. She told me that she felt shy and lacked confidence, which was preventing her from fully stepping into her potential. Her energy was contracted, and she wasn’t allowing herself to be seen or heard.
During our session, we did some deep healing work and I helped her connect with her inner child—her true, brave self. I encouraged her to let go of the identity of being “shy” because that identity was holding her back. We re-framed her story and shifted her energy, and she began to see herself in a new light.
It’s moments like these that make me realize how much our energy impacts the way we show up in the world. Your energy is magnetic—it’s what draws in opportunities, people, and success. But if you’re stuck in old stories or limiting beliefs, you’ll continue to block your own growth. That’s where healing and energy work come in.
Manifesting Your Dream Life
The journey of creating your dream life doesn’t have to be perfect or linear. For me, it’s been a combination of setting intentions, doing the inner work, and trusting the process. There have been moments of doubt, and I’ve had to overcome setbacks, but I’ve always known that I am capable of creating the life I want.
When I look back, I realize that I manifested many of the things I wanted: driving the car I envisioned, traveling the world, and living a life that’s truly my own. And you can do the same.
You may face challenges, but with the right mindset, energy work, and healing practices, you can manifest the life you desire. It’s not about following a step-by-step strategy, it’s about aligning your energy and taking consistent, inspired action.
