61. Re-release: Why WOC Must Quit Their Low-Paying Nonprofit Jobs
This episode is all about the societal forces that socialize women of color into low-paying careers in the nonprofit, education, and social services sector. I also share why it is urgent for WOC to leave these jobs, which are not only paying near poverty wages, but also have unrealistic workload expectations that harm our physical and mental health. All in the name of "giving back to our community" of course. Because that's the lie we've been fed. This is actually a re-release of one of the top 3 most downloaded episodes on the podcast. If you're new here, I am excited for you to listen to it for the first time! If you've heard this episode before, I strongly encourage you to listen to it again. To be clear, CORPORATE AMERICA IS NOT PERFECT!! But at the very least, it is not pretending that the only way people can give back to their communities is by dedicating their professional careers to exploitative nonprofit jobs.
Lastly, this episode addresses the intersectional pay gap. Latina earners were paid just 52 cents for every dollar paid to a non-Hispanic white man in 2022. In this episode, I address what the Latina Pay Gap is and why is it a systemic failure and not the result of any individual shortcoming.

60. Networking is OUT. Building Community is IN.
This episode is all about building community! I talk about how to find your people by putting yourself in places where you yourself want to be, how NOT to be exploitative or annoying, and why I don't think that everyone needs to go to "networking" events. I share how I prepare, because yes, even this super chatty extrovert needs to prepare. Whether that's the overachieving Virgo in me or simply the lingering effects of COVID that caused all of us to be out of practice talking to humans, who knows. But preparation is the key to confidence and to having a great time! Remember, it is NOT about "networking." It is not about transactional interactions that both of you will forget about right away. It is about building community. We are community beings and we need each other!

59. Healing the Wounds of Assimilation with Brand Strategist Camila Cardozo
In this episode I interview my mastermind sibling Camila Cardozo, who is a brand strategist and content producer for conscious entrepreneurs and brands. Camila has such deep and beautiful insight about the power of authenticity. Because that’s what’s at the core of a personal brand: authenticity, your voice, your experience, and your power.
We also talked about the ways in which assimilation has caused us collective wounds and the ways in which being authentic can help heal those wounds, and what steps you can take today to develop your personal brand and land your next job.
About today's guest:
Camila Cardozo is a brand strategist and content producer for conscious entrepreneurs and brands.Growing up as a first generation Colombian, code switching and changing her authentic self was her norm. By virtue of being from a different culture, she got very comfortable hiding her true self and compromising her realness for the sake of survival. But hiding her authentic self in all aspects of life was keeping her broke and lonely. When she decided to embrace ALL parts of her humanity, everything else started to click.

58. Interview Like a Pro: 5 No-Fail Prep Moves
This episode is about five steps you can take to prepare for a job interview and builds on last week's episode 57: What to Say in a Job Interview. Because yes, you do need to prepare. No matter how good you are at your job or at the job you're interviewing for, interviewing is a whole different skill set. Trust me when I say that everyone on the hiring committee can tell the difference between a candidate who prepared for the interview vs a candidate who did not prepare. So you have to prepare! Luckily, it is not as daunting as this may seem. Preparing for a job interview is 90% preparing your mind and 10% preparing your strategy. This episode touches on both of these so you can walk in confident, calm, and detached from the outcome.

57. What to Say in A Job Interview
In this episode, I walk you through helpful guidelines on what you can say during job interviews as your answer to many common questions. If you get tongue-tied at job interviews or feel like you can't express yourself clearly, this episode is for you. I recorded it based on the answers I got from my IG stories poll where over 60% of responders said this was their main concern during the job interview process. Now, if you're looking for guidance on what to say word-for-word, this episode is not it, and that's because that is NOT how you prepare to do well in a job interviews. Adding the stress of memorizing a script is only going to mentally take you out of the conversation. Because that's what job interviews are: a two-way conversation where you are determining if they're a company you want to invest your time and career in.
Tune in to hear helpful frameworks that will help speak more confidently during job interviews and will help you know what to say when you get asked common interview questions. I also share specific examples of how you can turn a career story that you're proud of into five different job interview answers.

55. Hack Your Resume and Land More Interviews Using ChatGPT
In this episode, I talk about how to hack your resume with ChatGPT to get more job interviews. I start by grounding you in the knowledge that a single document could never encapsulate the amazing, expanding, outstanding person that you are. With that being said, the state of the job market is going to require self-advocacy and innovation, and that is where ChatGPT comes in.
Listen for:
An easy to implement resume hack that will exponentially increase your likelihood of getting a job interview
The exact prompts you can use to get the best responses from ChatGPT
Beginner-friendly ways to use this innovative technology
Plus I talk about the importance of demonstrating your leadership in your resume, and how ChatGPT can help you put your best foot forward even when you may be doubting yourself.

In this episode, I describe why and how you need to change your approach to work. I talked about boundaries, communication, selfie energy & flaunting your achievements, keeping receipts to ask for a raise, leaning in to a mentor, and advocating for yourself at work. This is what job hopping is truly about. Because job hopping is not simply the action of switching jobs every 12-24 months. It's about detaching your identity from what you do for work!

53. The Politics of Wellness with Holistic Health Coach Naihomy Jerez
Your cultural foods are not the enemy! That is one of the biggest takeaways from this episode with Food and Holistic Heath Coach Naihomy Jerez. We chatted about the politics of food and wellness, how to reject racists diet culture and reclaim the cultural foods that have been vilified, and what small steps each of us can take to live a life rooted in wellness. In addition to Naihomy being a phenomenal human with so much knowledge about women's hormone health, she is also my food and health coach! I share some pretty vulnerable things in this episode that I am revealing on air for the first time.
We also talked about how scarcity can show up and derail our goals, the power of mindset, and how generational healing is part of any holistic wealth journey. It also wouldn’t be a First Gen Coach Podcast episode if I’m not tying it back to systems, so we definitely addressed climate change, white women in corporate America, and farmworker’s rights.
About today's guest:
Naihomy Jerez is a Dominicana from The Bronx, NY and a Certified Integrative Nutrition Health Coach with a focus on hormone health. Naihomy is passionate about helping high-achieving women of color prevent and reverse disease by building holistic health habits, so they can live their BEST life!

52. Do You Have a Savior Complex?
I am serving up some tough love in this episode and asking you to do some deep self reflection. I know you care about your community and that you care about your family, whether biological or chosen. But do you think highly of them? Or do you think that you, and you alone, have the responsibility to solve all their problems? Because if you think that the people you care about are helpless without you, then you my friend, have a Savior Complex.
The great news is that once you realize this, you can take steps to change it. Remember, when you heal yourself, you heal your community.

49. Prioritizing Yourself as a Working Mom and Content Creator with Book Gal Kelly
My sister is a guest on this episode! Kelly Moreno, also known as @BookGalKelly on TikTok, talks about her journey as a working parent and content creator. After taking a four-year hiatus from her career to focus on her two kids, Kelly returned to the workforce but found herself deeply unfulfilled. She talks about the very important question that helped her leave that initial job and pivot in her career, as well as the decision she's made as a working parent to prioritize her own well-being so she can show up as the best version of herself for her kids. Part of that prioritization was dedicating her time to her hobbies, namely, reading romance novels. It was that hobby that led Kelly to create her TikTok account, @BookGalKelly, where she's amassed thousands of followers in less than eight months. Listen to get the full scoop on the balancing act that is being a full-time working professional, a content creator, and mother and wife.
About today's guest:
Kelly Moreno is a working mom of two and content creator based out of South Florida. She balances her many roles by giving herself grace, not putting too much pressure on herself, and not giving herself more than she can handle. She prioritizes living and enjoying life, focusing on the things that matter, and remembering that slow progress is still progress.

48. The Myth of a "Good Job"
Is it a "good job" or is simply a way to control the workforce? In this episode, I break down the myth of the "good jobs" because what is usually referred to as a good job (family-sustaining wages, retirement benefits, paid leave, etc.) is actually just the bare minimum. I explain what a vesting schedule is and how employers use it to coerce employees into staying in places where they are not valued; give examples of the twisted dynamic that takes place when people are making deeply personal medical and family decisions based on employer-provided benefits; and spell out a brief history of why this is so commonplace.

47. Prioritizing First Gen Mental Health with Latina Therapy Daisy Gómez
Your job affects your mental health! I've said this many times over the last few years, and in this episode, first generation Latina therapist Daisy Gómez expands on how those effects show up and what you can do about it. Daisy, who is a licensed mental health therapist from Chicago, found her own well-being impacted by the heavy toll of direct service work, so she pivoted and found a way to use her skills, serve her community, AND prioritize her own mental health while doing it.
That is the biggest theme of this episode: prioritizing your own mental health. We talked about setting boundaries (my favorite!!!), choosing a therapist, and how your own individual healing journey actually has a ripple effect to those around you and allows them to heal as well! It is such a great conversation!

38. Releasing Guilt and Embracing Joy: A Radical Career Strategy
Is guilt holding you back in your career and in your life? What if you could release that guilt, embrace what brings you joy, and that was the key to creating the life you really want?
In this episode, I talk about the different ways that guilt shows up in your career and how it is keeping you from reaching your goals. Whether you realize it or not, we have been conditioned to put the needs of others before our own. So, when we dare to dream bigger and start working towards those dreams, guilt creeps in. That guilt can manifest itself in many ways. For example:
Not applying to new opportunities because you think leaving your job will hurt your coworkers or boss
Not setting boundaries with clients, students, or the people that you serve because you think they will suffer if you're not always available
Only pursuing jobs in a specific sector or industry because you think you have to dedicate all your skills, time, and effort to single-handedly fixing all of society's ills
Listen to learn how you can release that guilt and why embracing what brings you joy truly is the best thing that you can do for career, for your community, and for the world.

26. From Nonprofit to Financial Services with First Gen Professional Alejandra Carbajal
In episode 26 of The First Gen Coach, host Carla Santamaria interviewed Alejandra Carbajal, a first generation professional who successfully made the transition from the nonprofit sector into the private sector, and fast-tracking her financial and personal goals along the way.
In this episode, we discussed: How a love for working with students has fueled Alejandra’s career
Why talking about salary and career goals with friends is a crucial step in career advancement
Corporate America’s best-kept secret (hint: entry level jobs in corporate pay more than senior level roles in the nonprofit)
Why follow-up is the name of the game, and how you can use it to achieve any goal
The grief that comes when it’s time to leave a job or industry that we love
Alejandra’s three tips for first gen professionals who want to pivot into Corporate America
“Be kind to yourself. This process does not happen overnight, or how you may anticipate. Going from career readiness to corporate recruiter is not what I expected in the beginning, but I am happy to have discovered… another way to continue to do what I am passionate about. You have to be open to the process." - Alejandra Carbajal
About Alejandra:
I have had the privilege to work in roles where I have been able to use my experience of being first gen to empower others so their journey to success is greater and stronger. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for the past 4 years with adults reentering the workforce, high school students, and college students where I provided career readiness and led recruitment efforts in the last 2 years. I am excited to pivot into the corporate sector as a recruiter where I will continue to support others to access opportunities for their own economic mobility.
