Ep.020 The Self Embrace Series: Vanessa Castillo

Stepping into to purpose by becoming your most authentic self..

In this weeks Self Embrace Story series I had the pleasure of connecting with my friend Vanessa Castillo as we spoke about getting more real and up close to the self.

We have been conditioned to be taken away from the self, or fragmented in our approach to self which leads us down a path of not being true to ourselves and potentially unhappiness.

Vanessa is a soulful and creative entrepreneur. As the founder of The Rich Girl Mindset and VCV Agency, she inspires individuals to embrace their authentic selves. Vanessa serves as a life and business coach, mentor, speaker, and talk show host. She creates alignment between mind, body, soul, and purpose, empowering positive shifts. With The Rich Girl Mindset, she fosters a community of connection, collaboration, and empowerment.

This episode is REAL talk around our identity and how it can mold and change over time and helps us with our purpose. Vanessa has a wonderful story to share and has lives a rich and colorful life.
