    ☕ The toll it takes on trust and professional identity
    ☕ How to reclaim your voz, build resilience, and stay empowered

  • S8 E11: “Why Me… and Not Them?"
    Aug 18 2025

    🎧 NEW EPISODE – S8 E11: “Why Me… and Not Them?"

    Have you ever reached a milestone you once dreamed of, only to feel a knot in your stomach instead of pure joy? That quiet voice that whispers, “Why me… and not them?”

    Success is supposed to feel joyful. But for many of us, it also feels complicated.

    There is a quiet weight that comes when your first bonus equals your parents’ monthly income, when you travel for work while your family never had the chance, or when you are seen as the “chosen one” who now carries everyone’s hopes.

    That weight is called survivor's guilt. And in our comunidad, it shows up often.

    In this cafecito, we open our hearts about what it means to achieve more than generations before us and how guilt, pride, and imposter syndrome collide along the way. We talk about:

    ☕ Why success can feel heavy instead of freeing
    ☕ The cultural tension between collective pride and individual achievement
    ☕ How to move from “Why me” to “Why not me”
    ☕ Reframing success as responsibility, not betrayal
    ☕ Celebrating our wins and bringing others along with us

    We believe your éxito is not selfish. It is a path for others to follow.

    💬 We invite you to join the conversation. Have you ever felt survivor's guilt in your career? What helped you move through it?

    ☕ P.S.: Partner with us. Sponsoring Corporate Cafecito is more than brand visibility.

  • Más Datos, Más Dinero – Why Every Latine Professional Should Understand Business Metrics
    Aug 11 2025

    S8 E10: Más Datos, Más Dinero – Why Every Latine Professional Should Understand Business Metrics

    Mid-year is the perfect moment to pause and ask: Am I on track to hit my goals? Do I know the números that truly tell me the answer?

    Hard work opens doors, but knowing your business numbers is what keeps you in the room. Many Latine professionals are over-mentored and under-sponsored, and that includes not being taught the métricas that matter most or how to speak about them in a way that gets noticed.

    💡 In this cafecito, we cover:
    • The business métricas you should know, even if you are not in finance
    • How to tie your work to revenue, retention, or ROI so your contributions are visible
    • Why understanding ROI and opportunity cost changes how you spend your tiempo, dinero, and energy
    • Simple ways to start learning, from sitting in on finance meetings to using free resources

    This is more than a conversation about numbers. It is about using mid-year as your checkpoint to measure, adjust, and set yourself up to finish the year fuerte.

    🎥 Watch the trailer now and head over to our website, www.corpcafecito.com, to watch the entire episode and subscribe so you can join us weekly. You can also listen on all major streaming platforms.

    ☕ PS: If you believe in the conversations we are having, you can help keep the cafecito brewing with a one-time donation or monthly membership at buymeacoffee.com/corpcafecito. Every contribution helps us uplift, educate, and inspire our comunidad.
