Mariela De La Mora on Stress Spirals, Scarcity Mindset, and Rewriting the Future

Oct 10 2023 • 28 mins

In this episode of Tough Stuff Podcast I sit down with Mariela De La Mora, a leadership coach who works to elevate women of color into influential, in-demand money-making leaders. As a 16-year veteran of the marketing world and the eldest daughter of Mexican immigrants, she was often the only woman of color in senior leadership and has worked relentlessly to break past systemic and mindset barriers to achieve the success she has today. Listen in as Mariela opens up about the spiral of stress and anxiety that affected the sales in her coaching business, how she broke free from the scarcity mindset she inherited from her childhood, and how she is now working to nurture the potential of the next generation through her own daughter.
