This episode is the heart and soul of what I do and why my business exists, which is to solve a huge gap in the mentorship and coaching space, for daughters of immigrants specifically.
I was able to see this gap because I experienced it firsthand. I achieved it all in school, college and corporate. But when I started my business back in 2019, entrepreneurship required me to unlearn a lot my belief systems and my Self Concepts that came from being First Gen.
At the time I did market research, speaking to dozens of daughters of immigrants and I began seeing the common challenges they experienced behind visibility, self trust, thought leadership and sales.
And now after having coached over 100 daughters of immigrants from origin countries all over the world, those approaches are clearer than ever.
Today, I'm breaking down the patterns that affect how daughters of immigrants show up in business and leadership, where these patterns comes from, and a new ways of integrating these experiences.
That's why daughters of immigrants need to be mentored differently. Certain advice and strategies may be helpful for others, will only further the disconnect between ourselves and our business.
Here are a few key issues we face as First Gen leaders :
- You are still figuring out who you are as an adult
- Financial scarcity based on being one generation removed from not having enough
- Being our parents retirement plan
- Standing out was usually met with criticism or punishment so it affects visibility and thought leadership
- Emotions were often seen as a bad thing, yet they are REQUIRED of business.
- Being WILDLY uncomfortable with not being "productive" at all times
- Growing up too fast = holding yourself to unrealistic expectations now
- Growing up with hypervigilance means you're always looking for signs of danger even when there is none there
If you resonated with this episode, know that you have a goldmine of gifts at your disposal. But part of your journey as a business owner is unlearning a lot of the survival mode behaviors you still carry as First Gen SO THAT you can make more money, become more visible and own your thought leadership.
You are a walking miracle.
With that, I invite you to work with me. I have added new ways to work w/ me privately. I have expanded my coaching to span from 3 -6 months so we can deep dive into both your life AND business, and the specific areas keeping you from your next level of growth.
