It’s no wonder that many immigrant children feel guilty for rejecting the idea of sitting behind a desk for 8 to 9 hours straight. They want to shed the weight of other people’s expectations and pursue their passion, no matter how unconventional it is.
Cinthia Jaimes is an undocumented immigrant from Mexico. She felt all the weight of those expectations during her bumpy journey to her dream. Cinthia has defied the norm, enrolling and dropping out of college and working a receptionist job before fully investing in her boudoir photography business. Listen to her story and learn how to overcome the need to be perfect, pursuing your creative dreams in a strict household, and building a full AF bank account through a creative career (even if you don’t know what that looks like for you).
The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:
- How to build the mental stamina needed to pursue your passions when it seems like your life circumstances keep saying, ‘no’
- How to overcome the need to be perfect when you were raised in a strict household
- Why complaining is not a bad thing, and how you can use it to figure out what you really want.
