Bonus Episode: Whole Damn Vibe Podcast | Episode 183 | Tap Into Your Own Authenticity Without the Roadmap with Dani Tan14 May 202400:24:34

Bonus Episode: I was recently featured on Steph Wharton's podcast, the ⁠Whole Damn Vibe where we discuss tapping into your authenticity.


-----------------------------------------------------------


Today I’m interviewing Dani Tan—one of the leaders I featured inside the Latinx + Hispanic Heritage Month Pop-Up Directory on Instagram. Through this directory and interview series, my hope is to use my platform to help amplify the voices and stories of other badass latinx leaders.

Dani is a Leadership & Career Coach who honed her pivot and promotion skills to grow into the First-Gen, Asian-Latina leader she is today.

Over time, she’s learned to turn conversations into job opportunities and pivoted multiple industries: public relations, sales, merchandising, and e-commerce while achieving 11 promotions in 11 years.

Tune in today as we learn to tap into your own authenticity without the roadmap with Dani.

Inside today's episode, we dive into:

  • Putting pressure to fit in as women instead of standing out and taking up more space
  • Not feeling seen because you don't allow yourself to be seen
  • Experiencing additional pressure to fit in when you're the first one like you doing the thing
  • Spaces and systems set up for folks who are not like you
  • Learning to tap into your own authenticity without the roadmap
  • Inspiring change within your own community through your diversity
  • Dropping the shame and breaking the rules of how things *should* be done
  • Not feeling enough as a First-Gen Asian Latina and learning to own your identity
  • Uncovering your own strengths instead of embodying what works for others
  • Harnessing your innate skills to become a more impactful thought leader and speaker
  • Creating your own opportunities
  • Surrounding yourself with a like-minded community to finally feel seen (finding the right island for you)
  • What happens when you keep putting yourself out there
