🎙️ Q&A: Career, Confidence & Real Talk with the Next Generation

In this episode, I’m answering real questions from a group of ambitious young women at the University of St. Thomas — all about career moves, relationships, money, and the lessons life teaches you along the way.

They asked, “How did you do this?” and “How did you navigate that?” — so I’m opening up about what I’ve learned through nearly three decades of experience in education, entrepreneurship, e-commerce, and real estate.

Whether you're just starting out or you're pivoting into a new season, this is the advice I wish someone had given me in my 20s — honest, hard-earned, and full of heart.

Grab your cafecito, and let’s get into it. ☕✨

Flackback Friday! Two of our Favorite Father's Day Episodes of the Past!

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH!

Part 1:

In 2021, I had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Leonardo Velasquez, a master puppeteer with a lifelong mission of bringing happiness and education to our schoolchildren. Coming from Venezuela, he knew that he had one chance to make something of his life, and that meant multiple sacrifices for himself and his daughter Camila.

Mr. Leonardo shares his daughter's coming out story with us and how he knew she needed his unconditional love and acceptance. Ultimately, love is the unifying message in all that he does, and it shows in everything that he creates!

Part 2: We are celebrating young fathers! My two guests, my brother Jose Araujo Jr and dear friend Matthew Mitchell, were very young when they became dads. In this sweet episode, we discussed the challenges that young fathers face in today's world. Listen in to a sweet and thoughtful conversation with two dads doing their best to give their kids the best possible dad.

Looking for a realtor? email me aliciaelatassi@gmail.com I got you!

I'm heartbroken about the events of the last few weeks. I feel drained and depleted. However, I refuse to allow the current White House Administration to take any joy I feel away from me. I'm holding on to hope. I'm holding on to those I love to keep me grounded and off the proverbial ledge.

I'm here for you; you're not alone in feeling hopeless and sad. I won't sit here and pretend the world isn't burning, because it is. But let's encounter this together and let's fight together. Take time to protect your energy, your happy bubble. Delete those who celebrate cruelty, I give you permission.

I love you, and thank you for being here!
