In this episode, I sit down with Deidra Johnson, the brainstorm buddy you didn’t know you needed. We talk about how to shift your mindset when everything feels blurry, how to get out of black/white thinking, and why your next move doesn’t have to be perfect—it just has to be yours.

Whether you’re changing jobs, moving cities, or rethinking everything—this one’s going to leave you feeling grounded, seen, and ready to move.

🎧 Press play, amigui. Your future self will thank you.

Do you ever walk away from a conversation thinking, “Wait… that’s not what I meant”? You’re not alone, amigui. Miscommunication isn’t just awkward—it can keep you from connecting, growing in your profession, and being taken seriously.

In this episode, you and Zulean will break down why your message sometimes doesn’t land. With the help of some juicy chisme and the 7-Step Communication Cycle you’ll walk away feeling much more clear on “why” next time you hit a bump in your conversations.

If you're tired of getting misunderstood, this one’s for you.

✨ Plus: details on my live workshop “Say It Right: How to Be Heard”—the game-based training for professionals who are done shrinking in convos.

You’ve got good ideas. Great ones, actually.
So why does it feel like no one hears you—until someone else repeats the exact same thing louder and suddenly they're the genius?

If you're tired of feeling invisible in meetings or drained from over-explaining yourself just to be taken seriously, this convo is for you.

We're digging into what it really means to be heard at work—and no, it's not about talking more or being louder. It’s about how you show up in the moment, the way you carry your words, and how your tone can either trail off or drop anchor.

And if you're like, "Wait, I need more of this in my life ASAP"... you’re gonna want to grab your spot in my new workshop:
