Episode 7 Show Up with Talia Gutierrez

 

Talia Gutierrez is a Delta flight attendant, a blogger, podcaster, speaker, and she hosts women's events on finding and growing self love. She is one of those special people that radiates love and is just as beautiful on inside as the out.

 

In this episode, Talia and I talk about being your own biggest cheerleader, finding her voice, and struggles growing up which led her to where she is now. She was even vulnerable enough to share the moment her life changed when she tried to take her own life.

 

Here is the breakdown of our conversation…

 

02:30 - What does it mean to show up for yourself?

Be your biggest cheerleader because no one else is going to cheer you on and support you as much as yourself.

 

03:50 - Talia’s backstory 

She always wanted to do big things! It started with dreaming about being a weather woman and from there she learned different skills that have helped her find success in her current business (speaking, hosting, podcasting). Over the years she learned the thing that attracted her to the weather people she would watch was that they got to use their voice and bring information to people. She started out of college with a sales job that paid well and was remote but it didn’t fill her bucket which led her to Delta where she then found her business because she wasn’t feeling complete doing anything else.

 

07:30 - Have you ever struggled with finding or owning your voice?

She started out shy but having gone through trials and overcoming struggles she realized God gave her a voice for a reason. Not just a voice, but her voice. Which has given her the power to use it.

 

08:55 - Do you remember any specific examples when you used your voice for the first time and realized how powerful it is?

She always fought for the little guy and stuck up for her friends. She realized she could use her voice to encourage her friends but also stand up to bullies. She liked to be in leadership roles to lead by example. 

 

11:00 - Can you talk about your mom being an influence in your life and what influenced you to want to speak so passionately to women?

Her relationship with her mom started off rocky and she went through a lot of drama growing up. Because God has forgiven her, she’s been able to forgive her mom, and understand she did the best she could. Since forgiving her mom she’s realized how strong her mom is which has empowered her to be strong as well. She loves speaking to women because she really feels like she understands them and can relate to them.

 

15:40 - What are some of the struggles/fears you’ve gone through and how have you overcome them?

Be real and be vulnerable because that's how you create great relationships. Her parents got divorced at a young age and she always yearned for her dad but grew up feeling invisible and turned to negative habits to try to fill that void. After college she tried to take her own life and luckily wasn’t successful and through that experience she grew stronger. She realized at that moment she was made for more. You can’t choose the experiences you’ve been through but you can choose the type of future you want to have. Your story is an honor.

 

22:15 - Did that experience change your perspective from just focusing on yourself and your pain to focusing on others and how there is more to your life than pain?

It was a wakeup call but also a journey that took time. You can’t skip the pain. You have to go through it to grow. She decided to go inward and work on and understand herself. It began her personal development journey. We were not put on earth to be mediocre. We can change the world.

 

24:55 - Do you have any advice to anyone that feels stuck and has given up on their dreams?

Don’t listen to that inner voice or negative, limiting beliefs. Tackle your struggles one step at a time. If you try to tackle it all it once it can lead to feeling overwhelmed. If you believe you’re amazing you can do amazing things. Know your worth and know you deserve it. 

 

28:00 - Do you have a specific person that is your inner voice?

Her’s is little Talia - which she learned through therapy. She learned that her inner voice (little Talia) feels lost and invisible and so scared. She actively tells herself it’s okay and that she doesn’t have to be perfect and it’s okay to fail. 

 

30:38 - What is your favorite quote that you love or love to live by?

“What I create has the potential to shape the world” - that encourages her to keep showing up. You don’t have to wait for others to take action. You can make change and make the world a better place. Believe you are a superhero.
