No hay una traducción que me encante para decir "show up".A veces creemos que el esfuerzo vale solo si se da el 100%, pero ¿qué pasa si hoy no tengo el 100% para dar?La consistencia es clave y tus sueños esperan por ti al otro lado de presentarte, de hacer, de seguir, aún cuando no te presentas de forma "ideal"Creo que son estas las que más cuentan. Así que yo hoy me presento aquí, en nombre de la consistencia (contigo, pero también por mí, por mis sueños).Espero te aporte ✨Accede a las notas completas del episodio aquí: https://www.cinthiafigueroa.com/blog/EP36_Show_up_for_your_dreamsExperiencia gratuita (tiempo limitado): https://pages.cinthiafigueroa.com/freebie/be/socialSigue el podcast para recibir un nuevo episodio cada semana.También podemos seguir en contacto en: @soycinthiafigueroa

  35. When anxiety pretends to be an English problem 24.07.2026 14min

  Las personas usualmente no dicen: “Quiero tener una mejor oportunidad laboral en donde utilice el inglés”, usualmente piensan algo más parecido a: “Quiero ganar más dinero” (lo que pasa es que los trabajos que pagan más son los que vienen con el inglés incluido).Y ¿Qué pasa cuando obtienes el nuevo trabajo?: “Hola ansiedad” 👋De esto te hablo en el episodio de hoy, para que también descubras otras cosas importantes que puedes comenzar a ver desde ya.Accede a las notas completas del episodio aquí: https://www.cinthiafigueroa.com/blog/EP35_When_anxiety_pretends_to_be_an_English_problemExperiencia gratuita (tiempo limitado): https://pages.cinthiafigueroa.com/freebie/be/socialSigue el podcast para recibir un nuevo episodio cada semana.También podemos seguir en contacto en: @soycinthiafigueroa

  34. Why your feelings matter during business interactions 16.07.2026 11min

  He notado que muchas veces, existen sentimientos que pueden bloquear tu conocimiento y formas de interactuar con los demás en el trabajo, no porque no sepas inglés o porque no hayas estudiado lo suficiente, sino porque te comparas con quien eres en español, y cuando existe una distancia muy grande entre esas dos versiones de ti, puedes verte en un espacio frustrante, vulnerable e inseguro.Por eso decidí compartir contigo cuatro puntos importantes a los que puedes poner atención desde ya, para que puedas elevar tu comunicación laboral.Aquí te comparto el link de la experiencia gratuita de 3 días que mencioné (estará disponible temporalmente): https://pages.cinthiafigueroa.com/freebie/be/socialSigue el podcast para recibir un nuevo episodio cada semana.También podemos seguir en contacto en: @soycinthiafigueroa

  29. Before you speak up, reinvent yourself 10.06.2026 16min

  I completely understand that learning to speak up can be challenging.There was a point when I thought I was too much of everything: “too shy,” “too strict,” “too serious,” “too emotional,” “too by the book”… The only thing those traits have in common is that they are traits people don’t want to have, at least at a societal level.Here, I share four things that helped me navigate and develop my personality in ways I never thought possible, and how I was able to move from shyness to public speaking.Access the Spanish notes for this episode here: https://www.cinthiafigueroa.com/blog/EP29-Before-you-speak-up-reinvent-yourselfIf you’d like to receive weekly updates for this podcast, make sure to subscribe.Let’s stay in touch! @soycinthiafigueroa

  23. All You Need To Do Is Start! 25.09.2025 11min

  September brought big changes—I turned 40, lost my beloved dog Bowser, and welcomed a rescued pup into my life. Family transitions and chaos disrupted my routine, just as I was starting a new nutrition plan.Life gets messy, and sometimes we lose the energy to continue what we started. Bu as my nutritionist reminded me: "To retake your routine, all you have to do is retake it."This applies to learning English too. If you started this year—or even last month—but paused or never began, it's never too late. You just need to start.I love seeing people begin in the last quarter of the year—it's the perfect time to focus and make progress.Ready to start (or restart) your English journey?
