In leadership — and in life — we’re taught to rely on logic. To analyze. To plan. To make the “right” move.But there’s another kind of intelligence that doesn’t come from your résumé or your head.

This episode was born from a tender request. My friend Mariana — a former coaching client and listener of this podcast — asked if I could record the breathing practices in Spanish, so she could share them with her mamá, her tías, and her primas. Immediately, I felt a deep yes.I grew up with Spanish as my first language: the sound of Chespirito in the background, the melodrama of novelas, and the Sundays filled with Siempre en Domingo — that iconic Televisa variety show that became a ritual in so
