I am Mantuana with Patricia Manley
Bienvenida a I Am Mantuana, el podcast donde las mujeres inmigrantes nos volvemos a creer lo poderosas que somos.
Soy Patricia Manley: mujer en tech, mamá neurodiversa, speaker internacional y coach de carrera para mujeres latinas que están listas para dejar de sobrevivir en su trabajo… y empezar a avanzar con estrategia, autenticidad y alma.
Aquí hablamos de lo que realmente pasa cuando emigras:
✔️ Cuando te sientes invisible aunque tengas mil talentos
✔️ Cuando tu voz tiembla en reuniones, aunque sepas de sobra lo que estás haciendo
✔️ Cuando te preguntas si de verdad vale la pena tanto esfuerzo...
Y la respuesta es SÍ.
Porque ser inmigrante no es una desventaja es tu superpoder.
En cada episodio te traigo historias reales, herramientas prácticas y conversaciones sin filtro sobre mindset, marca personal, liderazgo, salud mental y más. Siempre desde nuestra perspectiva: la de mujeres que cruzaron fronteras, pero no están dispuestas a dejar atrás su ambición.
Escúchalo con tu café, tu te o tu copa de vino. Pero eso sí: prepárate para sanar tu relación contigo misma, creértela otra vez y tomar el espacio profesional que te corresponde.
💥 Este es tu recordatorio semanal de que sí puedes y no estás sola.
