Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Christa Gonzalez. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Christa, appreciate you joining us today. Let’s start with the story of your mission. What should we know?

The mission of Corazon by Christa Gonzalez and Empowered Vibes888 is deeply personal. It’s driven by a desire to help others find harmony, which I discovered from my transformational journey. My whole life I have been inspired by music and saw firsthand how creativity could uplift the spirit. This influence, combined with my practices in mindset shifts, yoga, meditation, music therapy, and energy work, led me to realize that beauty is not just skin deep it radiates from the inside when the mind, body, and spirit are aligned.
Through my journey, I was inspired to create Corazon, a beauty company rooted in authenticity. I recently launched Empowered Vibes 888 a holistic platform that offers coaching sessions to help you create practices to help find healing, growth, and empowerment. I am passionate about helping others on this same journey empowering them to cultivate beauty that radiates from their heart and soul. My mission is meaningful because it’s driven by a desire to help others on the same journey.

As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

Corazon by Christa Gonzalez is more than just a beauty company, it’s a journey of transformation, rooted in healing inside and out. Corazon represents the culmination of my personal and professional evolution. My passion for beauty and holistic healing began early. Still, it was my deep transformation through mindset work, yoga, meditation, music therapy, and energy healing that unlocked my true purpose: to help others heal “the skin they’re in.”
At the heart of Corazon is a commitment to a holistic approach. Every product in the Corazon line is crafted with intention, to enhance outer beauty. Empowered Vibes 888, Corazon’s sister company, complements this mission by offering a transformative path to inner healing. Together, these companies provide a unique path to healing, guiding clients to care for their skin and soul.
What sets me apart is my profound transformation. My life has been shaped by the powerful shifts that came from a spiritual awakening helping me to align energy, healing trauma, and embracing the mind-body connection. This personal journey is reflected in every aspect of my brand. My craft is more than beauty; it’s about guiding others to love and nurture their skin as a reflection of their inner peace and well-being.
At its core, Corazon by Christa Gonzalez is about honoring the skin you’re in. With every product and every coaching session through Empowered Vibes 888, I strive to help individuals find harmony, balance, and beauty in their unique journey. It’s this holistic approach, combined with my deep personal transformation, that makes Corazon not just a brand, but a beacon of healing, self-love, and empowerment.

We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?

A lesson I had to unlearn was allowing fear to control me when it came to breaking into my entrepreneurial adventures.

For years, I allowed fear to silently dictate my decisions. It wasn’t always obvious, but whenever I thought about stepping into entrepreneurship, launching Corazon by Christa Gonzalez, or pursuing new ventures like Empowered Vibes 888, fear whispered, “You’re not ready,” “What if you fail?” or “What will people think?” It was like an invisible wall holding me back from chasing my dreams.

I used to believe that fear was protecting me, keeping me safe from risks, but what I didn’t realize was that it was limiting me. Fear made me feel like I had to have everything perfectly figured out before I could move forward. It kept me stuck in my comfort zone, where there was no room for growth, no room for real progress. The story I had told myself for so long was that fear was a warning to stop but in reality, it was my self-doubt hiding behind the mask of fear.

The pivotal moment came when I realized that fear wasn’t something I could avoid or eliminate it was something I had to face. I had to unlearn the idea that fear should stop me from stepping into the unknown. It wasn’t easy. I had to push through the anxiety and the self-doubt, trusting that the passion and purpose behind Corazon and Empowered Vibes 888 were worth the risk.

I learned that fear often shows up when you’re about to do something transformative. It’s not there to stop you; it’s there to challenge you to grow. Every time I felt fear rise whether it was launching a new product, putting myself out there as a coach, or sharing my vision with others I reminded myself that breakthroughs happen on the other side of fear.

The biggest lesson I had to unlearn was that fear had power over me. Once I let go of that belief, I began to see fear differently. Instead of holding me back, it became a signal that I was on the verge of something important. Now, fear doesn’t control me. It still shows up, but I face it head-on, knowing that my purpose, my passion, and the impact I want to make through Corazon and Empowered Vibes 888 are far greater than the fear itself.

In unlearning the grip of fear, I’ve allowed myself to step fully into my entrepreneurial journey boldly, with heart and confidence. And every step forward reminds me that true growth lies just beyond that moment of fear.

We’d love to hear a story of resilience from your journey.

Resilience became the foundation of my journey long before I even realized it. When I set out to build Corazon by Christa Gonzalez and later Empowered Vibes 888, I thought I understood the challenges ahead. But nothing truly prepares you for the twists and turns that come with transformation not just as an entrepreneur, but as a person seeking to evolve, heal, and grow.

The road wasn’t smooth. There were times when it felt like every step forward came with two steps back. I faced moments of frustration when my efforts seemed to lead nowhere. There were long nights where doubt crept in, where I wondered if my vision was too ambitious or if I was strong enough to see it through. But with every setback, something inside me refused to quit. It was that deep, quiet voice of resilience that kept me going.

Resilience wasn’t about pushing through without feeling pain or frustration. It was about recognizing that those emotions were part of the process. When life tested me through personal struggles or in building my brand I learned that resilience was about embracing the challenges and trusting that they were molding me into someone stronger. I learned to lean into discomfort, knowing that it was the catalyst for real growth.

Yoga, meditation, and energy healing became my anchors. These practices taught me how to reconnect with my inner strength and align my mind, body, and spirit when the outside world felt chaotic. As I built Empowered Vibes 888, I realized that these tools weren’t just helping me survive tough times they were helping me thrive through them. They taught me that resilience doesn’t mean being immune to failure or struggle; it means finding your footing again, no matter how many times you fall.

In building Corazon, I wanted to create a company that reflected my transformation the same resilience I found in myself, I wanted to share with others. Whether it’s through skincare or holistic healing, my goal is to help people heal from within, just as I have. My brand is a testament to the power of resilience, and it’s what sets me apart.

Through this journey, I’ve come to see that resilience isn’t just a trait it’s a choice. It’s the choice to keep going when everything in you wants to stop. It’s the choice to believe in yourself when doubt clouds your vision. It’s the quiet strength that pushes you forward, even when the path ahead is unclear. And it’s what’s allowed me to transform, both in my personal life and in my entrepreneurial ventures.
