We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Yosely Maldonado a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Yosely thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. What do you think it takes to be successful?

To succeed as a mompreneur, I embarked on a journey that required me to embrace my cultural identity as a unique asset for my business. Recognizing the importance of support, I built a strong network that aided in both my personal growth and business development. Committed to staying ahead, I continuously learned to keep up with industry trends and enhance my business skills, ensuring that I remained digitally savvy to leverage technology for efficiency.

Balancing my business and family life became a crucial aspect of my daily routine, requiring effective time management strategies. Financial wisdom was key, as I managed my finances to ensure both sustainability for my business and security for my family. Resilience played a significant role in my journey; I developed the ability to overcome setbacks and adapt to changes smoothly. Understanding the power of branding, I crafted a strong brand and marketing strategy that resonated with my audience.

Lastly, prioritizing self-care was essential, allowing me to maintain my energy and passion for both work and family. By blending my unique strengths with strategic business practices and maintaining a healthy work-life balance, I navigated my path to success.

Yosely , 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?

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

The most rewarding aspect of being a creative, for me, is the deep sense of fulfillment and connection I feel when I bring something unique and deeply personal into existence and share it with the world. This process of creation is not just about expressing my own thoughts, feelings, and ideas; it’s also about forming connections with others who may find resonance, inspiration, or comfort in my work.

Witnessing the impact of my creativity—whether it inspires someone, evokes emotions, or sparks new ideas—reaffirms the value of my contributions and fills me with immense gratification. Moreover, creativity opens up endless opportunities for growth and learning, making both my personal and professional journeys rewarding experiences.

Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?

Reflecting on my journey from event planning to life coaching, resilience shines as my guiding light. In the fast-paced, often chaotic world of event planning, I faced countless challenges—from last-minute cancellations to unforeseen disasters. These moments tested my patience, creativity, and endurance, teaching me invaluable lessons in adaptability, stress management, and the power of maintaining a positive outlook even in adversity.

These experiences weren’t just hurdles; they were the crucible in which my resilience was forged. As I transitioned to life coaching, this resilience became my cornerstone. I realized my passion wasn’t just in orchestrating events, but in empowering people to navigate their own life’s complexities with strength and grace.

Now, as a life coach, I leverage my past to inspire resilience in others. I share my story to illustrate how challenges can lead to growth, fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of oneself. My journey taught me that resilience isn’t merely about surviving; it’s about thriving and transforming adversity into opportunity. Today, helping others recognize and harness their own resilience is where I find my true fulfillment.
