2025/10/09

I recorded this as an Instagram Live and a podcast episode at the same time, so you’ll hear me talk to both audiences throughout — but that’s also what gives this episode its live energy. In this episode, I’m walking you through three reasons your business growth feels harder in 2025 than it used to, what’s actually missing, what to do instead leading up to 2026, and how we are doing this inside Reclamation in Q4.These are the things that worked in the beginning but eventually stop working — and if

What if you weren’t afraid of being fully booked—but of what it might cost you?That was a quiet concern Betty carried—and one so many First Gen entrepreneurs know too well.As a daughter of Chinese immigrants and an Authenticity coach, being booked out initially didn’t feel like freedom. It felt like pressure, perfectionism, and losing space to be.And yet - Betty became a booked-out coach with a 3-month waitlist while in Reclamation Mastermind.This is Betty’s second round inside Reclamation and

2025/10/01

Sometimes the key to booking out is solving a more "expensive" or complex version of the problem you're already solving now, which attracts higher level clients. When Eunice first joined Reclamation in summer 2024, her son was just a month old. She wanted to build a business that supported her family, allowed her to be present as a mom, and reflected the full range of her expertise and lived experience.Inside Reclamation, she repositioned her offer to serve daughters of immigrant

What if booking out isn't your goal but you still want to increase your revenue?Or what if you can't technically "book out" because you're an agency owner or service provider who already has team members or subcontractors that allow you to take on as many clients as you want?For some of my clients, booking out looks like raising their prices so they can double their profit without adding more calls or client delivery to their calendar. For others, it's streamlining their team and capacity to serve

2025/09/14

Some of the sneakiest forms of self-sabotage don’t feel like sabotage at all.They feel like tightening up your calendar. Making a “smart pivot.” Pressing pause after a launch. Saying no to support because “it’s just faster to do it myself.”But if you’re a high-achieving First Gen entrepreneur, especially a woman of color, chances are what you’re calling strategy... is actually self-protection.In this episode, I break down 5 business behaviors that are actually Survival Mode in disguise, and how they

2025/09/10

Burnout doesn't always come from overworking. Sometimes it's a delayed reaction to finally feeling safe enough to stop hyper-functioning and let a different part of you lead. This typically happens after you've shown yourself you know how to make money.In this episode, I’m sharing why burnout shows up differently for First Gen entrepreneurs—especially daughters of immigrants—and why so much of the advice out there is unhelpful or even harmful.You’ll hear what I’ve learned from coaching First Gen

76: The Unglamorous Shifts That Got Me Beyond 6 Figures

2025/08/27

I didn’t grow a multi-six figure business because I changed my offers. I did it because I changed how I held my business—and myself.In this episode, I’m walking you through the real, unglamorous shifts that helped me go from a 150K year to consistent 20K months in private coaching—before ever switching to a group model. These are the exact mindset, nervous system, and identity shifts I’ve seen take people out of business if they don’t happen.And I get it. In 2021, I expected the success of my first

Many of us grew up watching our mothers and grandmothers work themselves to the point of exhaustion—never resting, never prioritizing themselves, and often becoming sick in the process. We inherit those patterns, and before we know it, we’re ignoring pain, overriding our emotions, and treating our bodies like they’re machines that just have to keep going.That’s where Naihomy Jerez comes in. She’s a Bronx-raised Dominicana, Certified Integrative Nutrition and Hormone Health Coach, and host of WELLthy

Daughters of immigrant entrepreneurs need more than business strategy, and this episode will show you why.In this deeply moving conversation, I talk with my Reclamation client Eunice Kimian, a somatic business coach who grew up in a Korean immigrant household where silence, emotional suppression, and over-responsibility were the norm.We talk about what it meant for her to start her business from scratch while healing—without abandoning her culture, her family, or herself.Eunice shares how choosing

This week, I’m sharing a joint episode I recorded with Andrea Ramos, founder of Building Gen Wealth. She’s a first-gen Peruvian American financial educator who teaches first-gen WOC how to move beyond saving and begin building true, long-term wealth.We recorded this conversation because we wanted to name something that often goes unsaid: the ways our early money beliefs shaped not only how we spend—but also how we dream, take risks, and show up in business.As first-gen, we weren’t raised to invest

What if security didn’t mean staying put in a familiar job or city?My client Jenn Jamali is a first-gen money coach who, like many of us, was rooted in immigrant “play-it-safe” mindset: buying a house, making six figures, saving hard. But even after checking those boxes, she still felt like something was missing.When a Pinterest contract ended and she was eight weeks pregnant, Jen could have panicked—but she didn’t: she’d saved, invested, monetized her skills, and built financial cushions outside

You know your offer works. Your clients get results. People refer you. So why isn’t it selling consistently?In this episode, I break down 8 specific reasons why a proven offer might still feel hard to sell—especially if your leads are mostly coming from referrals or word of mouth instead of your own marketing.These are the kinds of blind spots I coach my clients through all the time, and I’ve experienced them firsthand.

In this episode, I’m sharing the real story behind adopting—and ultimately rehoming—a puppy I thought would "complete my family" as a single mom.It’s a story I almost didn’t share. But what started as a deeply personal decision became a mirror for the kind of choices so many of us make in business.Because this wasn’t just about a puppy.It was about trying to soothe a feeling I hadn’t fully acknowledged—and how that showed up in a major life decision.Here’s what I’m unpacking in this episode:Why even
