The Science Behind the Power of Storytelling

We live in a world that often focuses on the numbers - followers, downloads, subscribers, etc. But when we overly focus on the numbers instead of stories, we miss out on the opportunity to truly understand and connect with others. As a qualitative researcher, Dr. Gina Vanegas shares her knowledge about storytelling and how it’s vital to understanding others in a more nuanced way, creating bonds, healing, and humanizing the lives and voices of people who fall outside the traditional "norm".

We also talk about

• How to change your mindset around money and feel more in control.
• How Mayra confronts shame around debt and builds trust with her clients.
• Where to start to become debt-free and which method for paying down debt is right for you.
• Why it’s important to really know what your disposable income is.
• How being a Latina a superpower in her business.

I love my Mexican heritage. And one way that makes me feel connected to my culture is wearing clothes that showcase its rich artistry and traditions.

My go-to source for beautiful, hand-embroidered blouses is Origin Mexico, a women-owned and operated brand offering a curated selection of handcrafted and ethically sourced goods from Mexico.

All her pieces are like wearable art, but my favorite is my colorful Alheli Blouse, hand-made in Hidalgo by The Hernandez family.

I love knowing that owner, Yazmin Castaneda, works closely with each artisan to preserve their traditions while also creating a better quality of life for these working moms.
