The desires that open our curiosity to the world
The Desires that Open Our Curiosity to the World Behind the scenes recording with Erick Gonzales Rocha. Watch our latest episode by clicking here! If you have been here for a while, it is not news how much curiosity matters to me. Both personally as a key driver of everything I do, and as a way of operating in the world, especially when things feel hard. My go-to: let’s get curious. A second pillar for me, and many of us, is service. There is a desire to serve, to ensure that we do something...
Plans Change. We Do, Too.
Plans Change. We Do, Too. There is a famous quote that has been attributed to many sources, including the Bible, and here is my own spin on it: Tell your plans to the universe and it will have fun with them. Mostly because while you might get what you want, getting there will include all sorts of twists you could not have predicted. In some cases, all plans go out the window. That was what happened to our guest this week, Florencia Colella. Florencia is a financial facilitator in agri-food...
The Process That Leads to the Path
The Process That Leads to the Path Whether you have been reading my newsletters, listening to our episodes, or both, you are no stranger to pivots, and the unfolding of career paths in unexpected ways. But sometimes it is hard for us to articulate what drives us, especially when everyone has an opinion even if they do not know what it is like to be in our shoes. In this episode, we talk about a few topics that spark particularly strong opinions. In today’s episode, I have the pleasure of...
The Journey Before The Journey
The Journey Before The Journey When we discuss our experiences as immigrants, a lot of the focus is on what prompts us to move abroad, or our initial shocks as we arrive and learn how to build a new routine, a new community, a new sense of home. But sometimes, the time and process to prepare for our immigrant life is a whole life period in and of itself. That is what we discuss in this new episode of Lucky to Be Here with Osvaldo Sosa Echanis. Osvaldo is a Project Manager & Business...
When Our Choices Happen to Others
When Our Choices Happen to Others We want to build lives that speak to who we are at our core. At the same time, if you have been here for a while, you know how much community matters (to me personally, and to us as we navigate our lives). Community is a verb, and in this episode of Lucky to Be Here, we get a glimpse of what being the first of in one feels like. This week we travel around the world with Nicole Moreno-Deinzer, who decided to embark on her year across the world. We talk about...

The Microstories that Make Us (New episode ft. Francia)
The Microstories that Make Us In this week’s episode, we follow Francia through his travels across the globe while going inward to find his frequency and connect with his essence. Francia is an Entertainment Attorney by day and a multi-hyphenate Artist away from the desk: Singer-Songwriter, Actor, Model, TV Host, Voice Actor, Dancer, and Yogi. Recording this episode was a true joy, so I cannot recommend you listening to it enough. But we also delve into what his experience moving from...
