In this episode, we welcome Melissa Llarena, who is a business coach, a mami, and author of Fertile Imagination: A Guide for Stretching Every Mom’s Superpower for Maximum Impact. We discuss the importance of nurturing imagination as mamis, pulling inspiration from our cultural backgrounds and personal experiences. Melissa shares her journey from growing up in a chaotic environment to becoming a published author and business coach.

Our conversation covers practical steps for reawakening, playing with, and stretching our imagination, as well as tips for balancing motherhood with personal ambitions. We also address imposter syndrome, leveraging human capital for business success, and redefining madrehood to pursue our dreams alongside raising children.
