Once I became a mom, it truly clicked for me. I asked myself, “What do I really want to do?” “What do I really want to be?”
The answer was clear: I wanted to be an inspiring figure in my daughter's life. I wanted to show her that any dream she has she can achieve. That it doesn’t matter what her starting point is. That she doesn’t need to fit society’s mold of a woman, or a Latina woman. She can reach whatever she dreams up.
I am the daughter of immigrants, and I am so proud of that
Taking such a huge leap of faith isn't easy
My biggest piece of advice to working moms and moms looking to take the leap of faith into entrepreneurship is to trust themselves and take it “un dia a la vez,” one day at a time. When the days are passing me by, and I run into overwhelming moments, I repeat this mantra to myself: “Un dia a la vez.” I trust that while no one can do it all, I am doing my best for myself and my daughters.
Use the love for your children as fuel, not only to get things done but fuel to love yourself as well and to work toward making your dreams come true. Trust me, it's never too late and so, so worth it.
