Strap in for a thrilling conversation with the extraordinary Latina powerhouse Maria Conchita Alonso, whose stellar career graces a staggering 80 movies, 10 telenovelas, and three Grammy nominations. As Maria unwraps the layers of her remarkable journey, from her hometown in Venezuela to making her film debut on "Moscow on the Hudson," I can't help but notice her undying zeal for storytelling. The tales of this formidable trailblazer are bound to spark a fire in the hearts of budding performers of every culture.
My conversation takes an engaging turn into Maria's stint in beauty pageants, her singing career, and her strong voice in the world of freedom of opinion. Immediately, we hear her deep-rooted commitment to animal rescue and a first-hand account of the communist grip on Cuba and Venezuela.
But there are mindset nuggets, too! From embracing our divine feminine to the importance of not letting money be the sole driving force in life, my chat with Maria Conchita wouldn't be complete without a sneak peek into her upcoming projects, events, and performances - including a spellbinding Masquerade Casino Night event for her foundation. This episode is nothing short of a treasure chest, filled with nuggets of wisdom from a woman whose spirit continues to illuminate the entertainment industry.

Authentic Wealth- unlocking the energy of abundance with Kyle Cease 51:23

Send us a text When I embarked on my acting career, I believed success and happiness were always just beyond reach – until I realized that true wealth comes from within. This revelation is at the core of my conversation with the soul-centered Kyle Cease, who evolved from comedian to motivational speaker and author, guiding us through the 'starving artist' myth and beyond. Together, we dissect the often-misguided pursuit of happiness through achievement and challenge the societal norms that can blind us to our innate worth. As we pull at the threads of self-worth, love, and the chase for affluence, Kyle and I share candid stories from our personal journeys. Shedding light on the illusion of external validation, we examine the irony that our bank accounts and love lives are frequently perceived as the scorecards of our existence. The potent reminder that emerges is our capacity to tap into our own limitless nature, to love ourselves first and recognize that our true value is not for the world to decide, but for us to understand and embrace. Our dialogue culminates in a powerful reflection on personal evolution, particularly in the realms of self-help and parenting. We discuss the transition from simply chasing positive thinking to confronting our deeper traumas, and how this shift is crucial for authentic growth. The episode offers a sanctuary for listeners to contemplate their own 'masks' and identities, encouraging them to step into the expansive, magical beings we are at our core. Join us for this one of a kind podcast session, where we explore the magic of authenticity and personal growth, and the sheer joy that comes with living true to oneself.
