Ep.29 EmpowerMe Journey: Guided Steps to Redefine & Rise for Success and Self Discovery

Have you ever found joy and sorrow clasped in the exact moment we make our way through life's contrasting waves? This episode explores the bittersweet connection between loss and creation, inspired by my recent encounter with loss amidst the birth of a dream project. Together, let's navigate the tender coexistence of celebration and grief, armed with practical resilience strategies and a shared understanding that every emotion is a step toward harmony.

In this conversation, I'll discuss the experience of dealing with conflicting emotions. I recently had to say goodbye to a close family friend while simultaneously preparing for the launch of a self-love boot camp. I'll share insights on mindfulness techniques and the power of self-compassion that have helped me navigate these complex times. Having the support of a community can make this journey richer, so I invite you to join our circle of trust, where we can share experiences and support each other. Together, we can become more assertive.

As we come to the end of this emotional episode, I want to extend an invitation to all women to join the upcoming Smilie Empowerment Virtual Self-Love Bootcamp. It's a promise of a nurturing space where we can grow, bond, and rediscover the joy in self-care. Let's embrace this transformative experience together, remembering that we are never alone, no matter our feelings. Join me, and let's turn the page to a new chapter of empowerment and unity.

Have you considered Valentine's Day a day to celebrate self-love for strong, independent women? This episode focuses on the importance of cherishing oneself. Whether alone or in a relationship, we explore ways to affirm and celebrate your worth. You will be inspired to enjoy life's little pleasures and learn how to make self-appreciation a daily routine rather than just a February festivity. I will share personal stories and offer practical tips on self-care and gratitude. Join me in redefining the day of love as a tribute to your unique journey.

In this episode, I will present some unique gift ideas for the important men in our lives. Gift ideas that go beyond the clichéd chocolates and roses and suggest items such as a personalized chef's knife for the man who loves to cook or a handwritten collection of reasons why he is your hero. From the heartfelt to the humorous, I share unique suggestions that align with the diverse passions and personalities of fathers, brothers, partners, and friends. Listen in as we explore how to make the men who support us feel seen and valued, with a range of surprises that speak louder than words.

As our Valentine's Day special ends, I warmly invite your stories and experiences. Did the creative gifting strategies resonate with you, or did you personalize them to create unforgettable moments? I am eager to hear all about it! Also, I encourage you to contribute to our vibrant community by sharing your insights. Your contributions help us evolve and improve our weekly gatherings. So, feel free to connect, suggest, and share how you celebrate love in all its beautiful complexity. Together, we can continue to empower and uplift each other, one heartfelt episode at a time. xo Much Love, Smilie

In our latest episode, we peel back the layers of self-doubt and limiting beliefs that so many women, especially Latinas, grapple with daily. Through a tapestry of personal narratives and hands-on advice, I guide you through self-discovery and self-love, addressing the widespread fears of the unknown, change, failure, and rejection. Our conversation isn't just about identifying these fears; it's about understanding their roots in our self-perceptions and learning to dance with them on our journey to empowerment.

This episode is a heartfelt embrace, a reminder that the road to success is often paved with the same love and determination that characterizes motherhood. I draw inspiring parallels between nurturing a child and our ambitions, illustrating that love for our goals can drive us to overcome any challenge. We talk about moving past the sting of previous failures, transforming them into stepping stones for future victories. It's time to surround yourself with positive energy, embrace consistent self-improvement with grace, and approach each day with the enthusiasm that sparks actual change.

Are you experiencing a lack of motivation and struggling to maintain your New Year's resolutions and goals? Don't worry; you're not alone. In this episode, we'll explore the reward system in our brains and understand why our motivation often fades away. Our goal is not only to identify the problem but also to provide practical solutions to overcome it.

Our brain releases dopamine, a feel-good chemical, whenever we achieve a goal. In this episode, we'll discuss ways to use this chemical to keep ourselves motivated for the long term. We can keep our drive alive by setting small goals and celebrating our achievements. Additionally, we will share a daily exercise, meditation, and journaling routine, which can help sharpen our focus and boost our energy levels.

Our conversation will not be limited to theories and knowledge; instead, we'll focus on putting our insights into action. We aim to become the best version of ourselves by taking practical steps. So, let's come together and embark on this transformative journey. Please tune in to this episode, and let's take the first step together.

Cada Navidad trae su propio conjunto de emociones y recuerdos, algunos más dulces y otros más amargos, especialmente cuando enfrentamos la ausencia de seres queridos. En este episodio especial, me abro desde lo más profundo de mi ser para compartir con vosotros cómo he vivido el duelo en estas fechas tan señaladas y la manera en que mi familia y yo honramos la memoria de aquellos que ya no están. Con el calor de la fraternidad y la esencia de nuestras tradiciones puertorriqueñas, os invito a unirnos en la reflexión de nuestras propias historias de superación y triunfos, agradeciendo cada paso de nuestro viaje y a quienes nos han acompañado, incluso a nuestra leal audiencia en Puerto Rico y más allá.

Mientras nos preparamos para despedir el año y dar la bienvenida a un nuevo comienzo, os propongo una práctica diaria que transformará nuestra perspectiva: escribir nuestros logros y depositarlos en un frasco, creando así un santuario de felicidad que nos recuerde la abundancia de momentos positivos en nuestras vidas. Además, quiero invitaros a todos, hombres y mujeres, a un taller de visión y acción que realizaré en Instagram Live el 28 de diciembre a las 7pm, donde juntos jaremos nuestras metas y soñaremos con lo que queremos alcanzar. Este capítulo va dedicado a elevar el espíritu de todos los Latinos, en especial mi bella gente y familia en  Puerto Rico y a todas las mujeres valientes, con un corazón lleno de esperanza y amor, recordándonos siempre el poder de cuidarnos y apoyarnos mutuamente. Felicidades! Los quiero mucho! xo Smilie
