How to Be Driven and at Peace - Redefining Success with Yanina Oyarzo

What does it really look like to evolve without abandoning your edge? In today's episode, I sit down with Yanina Oyarzo — host of Similarly Different, speaker, and storyteller who has dedicated her platform to unpacking the full, unfiltered humanity behind female ambition. What began as a hustle-at-12 survival story evolved into music industry executive at 18… and eventually, a hospitalization-level crash that forced her into a new relationship with discipline, desire, and peace.

We explore the tension so many of us live in right now — loving the hustle, craving softness, and not wanting to choose between power and peace. Yanina shares how turning 30 awakened her to the necessity of boundaries, why discernment is her greatest tool, and how she now measures success in golden moments of peace, not accolades or external proof.

This is an intimate conversation about identity, womanhood, reinvention, and the courage to evolve in public. If you've ever asked yourself, "am I burning out or just being stretched?" — this episode is a must-listen.
