Before Mariela De La Mora was a leadership coach helping women of color become sought-after thought leaders, she was just a curious kid who asked a few too many questions. The kind of questions that made adults uncomfortable. The kind of questions that, years later, would become her superpower. In this episode, we explore how our personal narratives—especially the parts we once quieted—can become the most magnetic part of our brand. From embracing imperfection to building resonance over reach, Mariela shares how leading with your story invites the right opportunities to find you. Whether you're building a personal brand or stepping onto more stages, this conversation is a reminder that becoming known starts with knowing—and honoring—yourself.
In this episode, we’re chatting:
- Why your story is your strongest brand asset (and how to share it without oversharing)
- The difference between visibility and becoming known (and why the latter matters more)
- How to position yourself as a speaker using your “Goldilocks” zone
- Embracing imperfection and why problems are your best teachers in business
- What it means to return to your inner child and bring all versions of you into your brand
- The mindset shift from anticipating every problem to trusting you can solve them
Come hang out with us as we explore how storytelling helps you lead, speak, and show up with intention.
