We recently connected with Tatiana LaBello and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Tatiana thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
Defining moment that changed by life:
I was born in Las Palmas, Gran Canary Islands, Spain. My mother moved my two sisters and I to the States when I was a baby. We moved to Illinois then eventually settled in Texas. Unfortunate circumstances prohibited my father from ever seeing me or my mom again. However, as a little girl, my mother would show me photos of my father and tell me “someday we will go back to Spain and find him”. So, I did what every little girl does, I began to dream about meeting him. I envisioned my father and I sitting at this small, round, black wrought iron table which was outside a quaint little cafe’ nestled at the end of this narrow cobblestone street somewhere in Spain. We were sipping from small porcelain cups, talking and laughing. This vision was so detailed and clear in my mind.
Lessons Learned: Dreams, goals, visions do come true if you believe it and hold onto it in your mind and never let it go.
In my 20’s, I worked as a fitness director on cruise ships traveling around the world. One of our ports was Tenerife, which was part of the Gran Canary Islands. I had a great friend that I worked with on the ship that I am grateful to and thank to this day that persuaded me to find my father. You see, as much as I wanted to find him, I had an overwhelming fear inside that after all these years, he would not know who I was and turn me away. This fear of rejection and abandonment outweighed anything else. This is the “story” I told myself and believed. Like a deer in the headlights, looking at a car coming, frozen, paralyzed, unable to move. I was stuck. My friend came alongside of me, encouraging, inspiring and reminding me that this could be my greatest joy. We found my father and agreed to meet.
25 years later my dream would became a realtiy. My father and I met at a quaint little cafe nestled at the end of a narrow cobblestone street. It happened EXACTLY as I had envisioned. Meeting my father was the missing piece to my puzzle (life) and was the happiest day of my life. That moment changed my life, forever!
Lessons Learned: Fear can hold us back from experiencing the greatest joy in our life. Everything that we want is on the other side of fear, outside our comfort zone. We all need someone (friend, coach, mentor) in our life that will encourage us to push pass the fear and take that step toward our dreams that could be transformational, life-changing.
This life changing event is why I am so passionate about helping others breakthrough mental barriers, achieve their goals and live a life filled with joy, fufillment and freedom.
Tatiana, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

My strength has always been my endless passion to learn, grow, and evolve as a person. Having an entrepreneurial spirit and insatiable desire to succeed is what has allowed me to be blessed with all my experiences. As an actress, spokesmodel, host, personal trainer, fitness competitor, author, beauty consultant, business owner, and motivational speaker, I know the importance of hiring a coach and powerful team that support you in your goal and vision. I am confident that I would not be where I am today without investing in myself by seeking out industry experts and hiring coaches to help me get there.

I leave them with a specific “call to action” that will stretch and challenge them to move forward & Break Through the barriers holding them back.
Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?
“Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill and “The Magic of Thinking Big” by David Schwartz are two classic books that have been instrumental in my success as a MindSet & BreakThrough Coach. In essence they both present lessons that if you change your mindset, you can change your life. You can become anything that your mind deems possible; as a result, your mind becomes the one thing that can either stop you or propel you toward becoming the best version of yourself. Henry Ford said it best, ‘Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t–you’re right.’ When you change from thinking, this might be possible, to how do I accomplish it? your mind immediately goes to work to find a way to accomplish your goal. David Schwartz said “Look at things as they can be, not as they are.” If what you think about expands, I am very careful about what and who I listen to. This is why I cultivate a daily routine of programing empowering messages into my mind. I listen to educational and inspirational podcasts, watch motivational videos, and read personal growth and develpment books.
If you could go back, would you choose the same profession, specialty, etc.?
