Many of us grew up watching our mothers and grandmothers work themselves to the point of exhaustion—never resting, never prioritizing themselves, and often becoming sick in the process. We inherit those patterns, and before we know it, we’re ignoring pain, overriding our emotions, and treating our bodies like they’re machines that just have to keep going.

That’s where Naihomy Jerez comes in. She’s a Bronx-raised Dominicana, Certified Integrative Nutrition and Hormone Health Coach, and host of WELLthy Generation podcast. She helps women of color heal their bodies, balance their hormones, and build confidence—without restriction, burnout, or giving up their cultural foods.

Her own postpartum journey transformed her relationship with her body. After losing 50 pounds and maintaining it for years while keeping her plátanos and bagels, she turned what she learned into a coaching practice that now serves women across the country.

In this conversation, Naihomy shares the same principles she teaches her clients—practical, culturally aware strategies to move from survival mode into sustainable, joyful health. You’ll leave knowing how to recognize when your body is asking for help, and how to respond in ways that honor both your wellbeing and your heritage.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• The hidden ways survival mode affects your health and energy
• Why punishing your body doesn’t lead to lasting change
• How to make health shifts without cutting out the foods you love
• The surprising first step to building confidence in your body
• How to create simple, sustainable routines that work with a busy life
• Why representation matters in health coaching—and what difference it makes

What if the very strategies that made you successful are now the ones holding you back?

This episode is for the high-achieving First Gen entrepreneur who's already “made it” in many ways—but now finds themselves plateauing, second-guessing, or quietly pulling back.

Whether you’re sitting in a season of capacity or questioning how to evolve what’s already working, you’re not alone.

I’m walking you through what I see over and over again in clients—especially daughters of immigrants who are learning to grow beyond just enough.

This episode will help you identify the internal shifts that keep you from sustaining success peacefully… and show you how to grow without abandoning what matters most.

What I cover in the episode:

• What it really means to “protect success” and how it subtly blocks growth
• Two distinct patterns that keep you stuck: the Survivor Cycle and the Vice Grip Cycle
• Why many First Gen leaders pull back after their biggest financial wins
• How ease can feel unsafe to the nervous system (and what to do about it)
• What it’s already costing you when you stay in maintenance mode
• A real client example of going from 150K → 300K with more ease, not more effort
• Five steps I walk clients through to realign their offers, marketing, and identity with their next level

This episode blends nervous system safety with strategic clarity—and it’s a must-listen if you’ve been feeling misaligned, unmotivated, or unsure about how to grow from here.

Daughters of immigrant entrepreneurs need more than business strategy, and this episode will show you why.

In this deeply moving conversation, I talk with my Reclamation client Eunice Kimian, a somatic business coach who grew up in a Korean immigrant household where silence, emotional suppression, and over-responsibility were the norm.

We talk about what it meant for her to start her business from scratch while healing—without abandoning her culture, her family, or herself.

Eunice shares how choosing softness felt like the biggest risk, how her somatic work created enough safety to even have a vision, and why it matters that daughters of immigrants have access to mentors who understand the emotional cost of being “high functioning.”

✨ And as Eunice says: “We’re not taught to listen to ourselves… it’s not just about strategy. It’s about helping people hear themselves again.”

This conversation is a reminder that for daughters of immigrants, healing and business aren’t separate—and strategy alone is never the full answer.

📌 In this episode we talk about:

• How Korean collectivist culture shaped Eunice’s identity and instincts
• Why emotional repression was tied to safety in her family—and how she’s unlearning that
• The moment she realized “softness” was her next edge
• What it actually means to regulate your nervous system enough to hold a vision
• Why thought leadership looks different when you come from a high-control environment
• Why Eunice believes strategy is never enough for daughters of immigrants
• How she’s now filling a powerful gap in the market between somatics and entrepreneurship
