Give to Gain: International Women’s Day 2026 Message for Latinas-How to Stop Overgiving and Learn to Receive

Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:16:27 GMT

In this special International Women’s Day 2026 episode, Miriam Simon breaks down the campaign theme “Give to Gain” through a Latina lens because in our culture, giving is often the default… but receiving can feel uncomfortable. Miriam explores the difference between giving from survival vs. giving from abundance, why women struggle to claim what they’ve earned, and how reciprocity becomes intentional multiplication, not subtraction.

You’ll also hear a powerful shoutout roll call of the women, communities, and organizations that helped shape Miriam’s leadership journey and a reminder that allies, access, and collective activism are essential to closing gaps and challenging bias.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

What “Give to Gain” really means for Latinas in leadership
Signs you’re overgiving at your own expense
How to practice receiving without guilt
Why community is the fastest path to visibility, autonomy, and freedom
How women helping women creates real momentum

Take Away the Pressure to Prove: A Human-First Guide for Latinas Who Overgive, Overperform, and Still Feel Invisible

Wed, 25 Feb 2026 05:00:00 GMT

In this episode of Latina Mic Drop, Miriam Simon breaks down what fearless, human-first leadership actually looks like when you’ve spent years shape-shifting to fit the room. She shares how she used to lead from “invisibility while visible”—holding executive roles but stepping aside, staying quiet in meetings, and letting others take credit because being “too nice” felt safer than taking up space. Miriam explores the mixed messages that keep many Latinas stuck: speak up more, but not too much; be bold, but don’t be “too much.”

From there, she connects fearless leadership to a human-first truth: you cannot build a real life on borrowed approval. She unpacks how approval-seeking shows up as over-giving, over-explaining, over-performing, hiding identity (Mexican, LGBTQ+, motherhood, womanhood), masking accents, and “professional” presentation that doesn’t feel like you. She explains the real costs, burnout, quiet quitting, missed visibility, strained relationships, and losing yourself to be accepted by people who may never accept you.

Miriam also names workplace dynamics like likeability bias and cultural incompetence that can lead others to distrust you, not because you’re wrong, but because you’re different. Her human-first solution is practical and courageous: do excellent work, stop self-abandoning, set boundaries, and expand your circle of influence so your value becomes undeniable. She shares personal stories about family expectations, being labeled selfish or “te crees mucho,” and learning that choosing yourself doesn’t mean you don’t love others, it means you’re finally leading from wholeness.

The episode closes with a fearless reminder: rejection doesn’t mean you’re broken, it might mean it’s your turn to step up. Miriam invites listeners to become the competition to who they were yesterday, and to get support (therapy, coaching, community) if needed because freedom is on the other side of self-abandonment. She ends with her mission: take away the pressure to prove and replace it with the power to lead sin miedo, and an invitation for aspiring authors who want to write their book with her.

Ricky Martin at the Super Bowl: LGBTQ+ Visibility, Latina Identity, and Loving Sin Miedo | Latina Mic Drop

Wed, 18 Feb 2026 14:48:52 GMT

Ricky Martin showing up at the Super Bowl as Bad Bunny’s guest wasn’t just entertainment, it was a cultural shift. In this episode, Miriam Simon connects that “El Supertazón” moment to what it means to be seen as a Latina and LGBTQ+ person navigating family, language, and belonging. She shares a personal story about being loved by her mom but not fully accepted in her LGBTQ+ identity and how that kind of partial acceptance can make you feel broken, rejected, and divided.

Miriam reflects on the power of hearing Spanish on the biggest American stage, the history of being judged for speaking Spanish, and the frustration of people who “opt out” of listening simply because they don’t understand. She also explores why representation matters across generations, watching her kids and her 7-year-old granddaughter dance to a Spanish cultural moment and why this door can’t be closed again.

This is a human-first conversation about identity integration, loving without fear, and what changes when you finally accept yourself: you stop shrinking, stop hiding, and start moving unstoppable, whether others approve or not.

If this episode hit you, share it with someone who needs to feel seen. And message me 862-686-4422, how did you feel watching Ricky Martin at the Super Bowl and hearing Spanish on that stage?

A Stranger Saved Us: Trust, Safety, and the Power of Community.

Wed, 28 Jan 2026 09:00:00 GMT

Episode summary

In this episode, Miriam shares a defining moment from her early 20s: driving home after a late shift with two babies in the car when her vehicle broke down on a dark, abandoned road in New Jersey, with no cell phone, no payphone, and no quick way to reach help. As a stranger offered assistance that didn’t feel safe, another woman pulled over, recognized something was off, and intervened, getting Miriam and her children home safely.

More than 25 years later, Miriam reflects on why that “perfect stranger” still matters: how a single act of protection can change a life, how vulnerability is not the same for everyone, and why community care must include discernment and safety. The episode closes with a call to unify, look out for one another, and take meaningful action, even when no one is watching.

What you’ll hear in this episode

A real-life story of being stranded at midnight with two small children and no way to call for help
How intuition, discernment, and safety decisions show up in high-stakes moments
Why “vulnerability looks different for everyone” (gender, parenting, LGBTQ+, culture, identity, lived experience)
The tension between helping others and protecting yourself in today’s world
How to respond to heavy times with community, care, and grounded action

Key takeaways

Discernment is not paranoia. You’re allowed to evaluate who you accept help from.
Community is a protective factor. Small interventions can prevent life-altering harm.
Vulnerability is contextual. What’s safe for one person may be dangerous for another.
Good deeds echo. You may never be thanked publicly and your impact can still last decades.
Do what you can, safely. Help has many forms; not all help requires risk.

Reflection prompts (for listeners)

Where in your life do you need stronger safety boundaries: online, at work, in public spaces, in relationships?
What does “trusting your gut” look like in practice for you?
What is one safe, realistic way you can show up for your community this week?
When have you needed help and what made it feel safe or unsafe to receive it?

New Year One: Let Go of Resolutions and Build Relationships That Move You

Wed, 14 Jan 2026 10:00:00 GMT

January 2026 is year one - new beginnings, new capacity, and a new kind of courage.

In Episode 66 of Latina Mic Drop, I’m talking about a transition we don’t name enough: what happens when your kids are grown, your caretaker role shifts, and you realize your world has been built around family… but your next chapter requires community beyond it.

I spent years being a loner: work, home, repeat. Raising kids. Holding it down. Doing everything alone because that’s what I knew and because trust has never been easy for me. But today, after spending time in community with women building businesses and getting their finances together, I’m reminding you of the truth:

You do not need to do this alone anymore.

Not your leadership. Not your healing. Not your next level.

We’ll talk about:

Why “family-first” can quietly become “family-only”
How the pandemic and changing family dynamics reshaped connection
The trust barrier (and how it keeps high performers isolated)
Why leadership can feel lonely when you’re the only one who sees the vision
How relationships unlock opportunities money and talent can’t reach alone
How to use AI for speed, without becoming a robot

And if you’re wondering what’s holding you back from the next room, the next relationship, the next opportunity - I created something for you.

✅ Take my assessment: What’s Your Unstoppable Score?

It will help you name what’s stopping you, what you need, and what support would actually move the needle.

Question for you: Where have you been trying to do it all alone because it felt safer?

The Human Renaissance: Why 2026 Belongs to Leaders Who Feel

Wed, 17 Dec 2025 10:00:00 GMT

What if emotions were your greatest leadership advantage, not your weakness?

In Episode 62 of Latina Mic Drop™, Latina leadership expert Miriam Simon introduces The Human Renaissance, a bold leadership philosophy for 2026 and beyond.

This episode challenges outdated leadership norms that reward emotional suppression, over-polished performance, and disconnection. Instead, Miriam reframes emotions as data, intuition as strategy, and empathy as executive intelligence, especially for BIPOC leaders, Latinas, and leaders who’ve been told they’re “too much.”

Drawing from lived experience in corporate leadership, public service, and identity integration work, Miriam breaks down why:

Emotional regulation is a leadership skill
Feelings provide real-time information about safety, boundaries, and alignment
Intuition is compressed experience, not mysticism
Empathy sharpens authority instead of weakening it
Identity integration is essential to sustainable leadership performance

If you’ve ever been punished for being human at work, this episode is for you.

🎙️ You’ll learn:

Why 2026 belongs to leaders who feel and lead anyway
How to stop taking the bait in hostile or discriminatory environments
How to respond with discernment instead of reaction
Why human-first leadership is the future of high performance

👉 Take the self-assessment linked in the comments to explore your own leadership integration.

Work Didn’t Get Harder, It Got HUMAN: Why Leaders Must Evolve Now

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 00:54:27 GMT

Work didn’t get harder, it got HUMAN.

In this powerful episode of Latina Mic Drop™, Miriam Simon breaks down the truth behind today’s workplace overwhelm: people are not weaker, la gente is waking up. Emotional intelligence isn’t optional anymore, it’s survival.

Miriam shares raw stories from her own leadership journey: navigating triggers, crying in silence, facing bias, being dismissed, and learning how humanity, not perfection, is what elevates real leaders. She unpacks why fear-based leadership is collapsing, why perks aren’t culture, why younger generations refuse toxic norms, and why burnout isn’t a personal failure but a symptom of being chronically undervalued.

You’ll hear the hard truths about modern leadership, the emotional cost of being “professional,” and the difference between working like a robot and leading like a human. If you’ve ever felt unseen, overwhelmed, or pressured to hold everything together while breaking inside, this conversation will validate your experience and empower you to lead differently.

Key mic drop:

“We’re not here to be robotic, we’re here to be fucking human.”

This episode is a wake-up call, a healing moment, and a movement.

Get ready to feel seen. Get ready to reclaim your voice.

Get ready to lead with your whole humanity.

They Groped the President. They Groped Me. Now We Do Something About it

Sun, 23 Nov 2025 15:22:21 GMT

They Groped the President. They Groped Me. Now We Do Something About it

This is about power. Real power. The kind that comes from breaking silence.

When Claudia Sheinbaum, Mexico's FIRST woman president, got groped on camera, and when Fatima Bosch got called a "dummy" and kicked out for speaking up, I knew it was time to tell my story.

Because it happened to me too. Three times. In second grade. Going up my apartment stairs. At the copy machine at work. And I never told anyone...until now.

This episode isn't just about what happened to us. It's about what we DO with it. It's about how Sheinbaum pressed charges because "if they do this to the president, what will happen to all the young women in our country?" It's about how Bosch didn't quit; She went on to WIN Miss Universe.

And it's about how every woman who's been violated, dismissed, disrespected, or silenced has a choice: stay quiet or reclaim your fucking power.

Here's what I learned:

Why we don't report (the shame, the confusion, the fear no one will believe us)
How silence keeps us stuck and speaking up sets us free
Why our community needs to STOP pretending this doesn't happen
How the biggest growth comes right after our biggest challenges
What it means to show up as a woman in leadership when the world wants you small

If you've been inappropriately touched and stayed quiet, your voice matters. If you've been undermined in the workplace, your power is real. If you carry baggage you've never dealt with, it's time to put it down.

This is women's empowerment in its rawest form. Not the Instagram quote kind. The "I'm breaking my silence and taking my life back" kind.

We're done being quiet. We're done playing small. We're done letting them get away with it.

In This Episode:

My first public account of being sexually assaulted three times and why I never told
What Claudia Sheinbaum and Fatima Bosch teach us about power and resilience
How workplace microaggressions and disrespect keep women from rising
Why speaking up, even when it's terrifying, is the ultimate act of power
How to turn your pain into purpose and your silence into strength

This is Latina Mic Drop. We don't do polite. We don't do quiet. We do POWERFUL.

In this raw and real episode, we're tackling the overwhelm that so many of us face as mid-career Latinas trying to do it all. Between the 9-to-5, family responsibilities, unexpected life curveballs, and the pressure to keep showing up perfectly... something's gotta give.

But what if it doesn't have to be you?

Miriam breaks down her personal journey through a challenging time and shares the five essential strategies that kept her from burning out completely.

From Shaky Voice to Superpower: A Year of Latina Mic Drop

Wed, 22 Oct 2025 01:02:58 GMT

One year ago, I hit record with a shaky voice and a whole lot of corazón—not knowing this mic would become my freedom. Today marks 52 weeks of showing up, speaking up, and refusing to whisper the truths that once kept us small. This isn't just an anniversary episode—it's a love letter to every Latina who's ever been told to stay quiet, play it safe, or dim her light. From fear of rejection to finding my fuerza, from hiding my identities to owning every single one, this journey has taught me that our vulnerability isn't weakness—it's our superpower. So grab your cafecito, get comfortable, and let's celebrate what happens when we stop surviving in silence and start leading out loud. Welcome to the anniversary episode of Latina Mic Drop, where we've spent an entire year proving that legacy is what we speak into others. Let's drop it.

How to Play Chess While Your Manager Plays with Crayons

Host Miriam Simon breaks down why so many people in leadership positions shouldn't be there, sharing raw stories from her own career about toxic managers who micromanage emails and ignore employee input.

Mon, 23 Jun 2025 04:00:00 GMT

Latina Mic Drop Podcast: E36

Beyond the Title: Why Your Job Isn't Your Identity

Are you living solely for your job title? In this thought-provoking episode of Latina Mic Drop, host Miriam Simon challenges listeners to break free from the trap of defining themselves entirely by their professional roles.

Miriam shares five compelling reasons why going beyond your job title is essential for personal growth and fulfillment:

You're more than your position - Your job title isn't the totality of who you are
Missed opportunities for exploration - Discover interests and hobbies you never knew you had
Jobs can stop working for you - What happens when work becomes boring or you face unexpected layoffs?
Salary stagnation - Why staying put might be costing you significant income increases
Limited growth potential - How playing it safe can keep you stuck in the same place

Drawing from her own experience of making eight consecutive career moves, Miriam offers practical insights on how to become a well-rounded person who owns their career path. She discusses the importance of exploring your creativity, taking time for reflection, and stepping outside your comfort zone.

Whether you're someone who works 16-hour days thinking only about your job, or you're curious about what else life has to offer beyond your 9-to-5, this episode will inspire you to give yourself permission to explore new possibilities.

Key Takeaways:

How to break the cycle of work-sleep-repeat
Why career pivots can lead to significant salary increases
The importance of developing transferable skills
How to use your commute time for personal growth
Ways to explore your interests while maintaining your day job

Perfect for ambitious professionals who want to create a more balanced and fulfilling life without sacrificing career success.

Mon, 26 May 2025 04:00:00 GMT

The ONE Question That Will Change Your Life Forever (And 6 More That Will Transform Everything)

Episode 33: Latina Mic Drop with Miriam Simon

Why This Episode Will Hit Different

Ever feel like you're on autopilot, going through the motions but not really LIVING? Miriam Simon drops truth bombs about the single most powerful tool that transformed her life from settling for "good enough" to creating a life that lights her up every single day.

The game-changer? It's not what you think. It's something so simple, yet so profound, that most people completely overlook it.

The Big Reveal: Your Secret Weapon

THE question that started it all: "Is this what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?"

Miriam asked herself this on a train into NYC. A moment of clarity changed EVERYTHING. & it can change everything for you too.

7 Life-Changing Questions Every Leader Needs to Ask

For Personal Transformation:

1. "Is this what I want to be doing for the rest of my life?" (The ultimate reality check)

2. What am I afraid of?" (The fear-buster that unlocks everything)

3. "How am I contributing to the problem?" (The accountability question that changes the game)

For Leadership Excellence:

4. "What are people saying that we're not hearing?" (Uncover the hidden signals)

5. "What's the gap that's not being filled?" (Find your breakthrough opportunity)

6. "How can I contribute to the solution?" (Your path to impact)

For Deep Connection:

7. "What are they really saying underneath?" (Read between the lines like a pro) Hard Truth About Questions

But here's what Miriam knows: Questions don't just give you answers, they give you POWER. The power to:

- ✅ Meet people where they are (the #1 leadership skill)

- ✅ Build a life that's sustainable and fulfilling

Your Action Steps (Don't Skip This!)

This Week, Ask Yourself:

1. What pattern in my life needs to be interrupted?

2. What am I avoiding because I'm scared of the answer?

3. How am I contributing to a problem I keep complaining about?

Pro Tip: Don't overwhelm yourself by asking all these at once. Pick ONE and sit with it. The answers will come.

Own Your Space: Are You Leading with Confidence or Insecurity?

Mon, 12 May 2025 04:00:00 GMT

🎙️ Street Smarts meets Boardroom Strategy, Leadership Real Talk for Latinas and Bold Professionals Hosted by Miriam Simon | Executive Coach, Author of Tattoos and Pearls

Own Your Space: Are You Leading with Confidence or Insecurity?

Episode Summary:

Welcome back to Latina Mic Drop, where we get real about leadership, power, and showing up fully as your authentic self. I'm your host, Miriam Simon — executive and leadership coach, author of Tattoos and Pearls, and your guide to leading boldly without losing your voice. In today’s episode, we’re shining a light on something every professional has felt but few talk about: The night-and-day difference between working for a secure leader vs. surviving under an insecure manager. And if you’re leading people right now, this is your mirror moment.

I’m breaking down the 5 telltale signs of insecure leadership that breed toxicity, micromanagement, and team burnout, and how YOU can choose confidence, trust, and real influence instead.

This episode is your wake-up call and your power play. Let’s go.

In This Episode, We Cover:

🔑 Why insecurity breeds toxicity, and how it leaks into every corner of your team.

🔑 The trap of demanding more (reports, proof, meetings) just to cover up not knowing enough.

🔑 Why insecure leaders choose control over trust, and how it kills momentum.

🔑 How leading with "No" instead of "Tell me more" reveals fear, not strength.

🔑 The real meaning of confidence: It’s not knowing everything, it’s listening, learning, and growing.

Miriam's Mic Drop Moments:

✨ "Insecurity makes you come from fear. Confidence makes you come from curiosity."

✨ "Respect is a two-way street. Your title gets you in the room, but how you lead keeps you there."

✨ "Your team can feel the difference between day and night. Which one are you becoming?"

Latina Mic Drop Podcast: Emerge from Emergency

In this powerful episode, leadership coach, author, and speaker Miriam Simon explores how to break free from survival mode and reclaim your power. If you've been feeling exhausted, overlooked, or stuck in constant emergency mode, this episode offers practical wisdom to help you transition from merely surviving to authentically thriving.

Miriam shares her personal journey of recognizing when she was living in survival mode—constantly on edge, using hyper-productivity as a trauma response, and neglecting her own basic needs while taking care of everyone else. She provides actionable strategies for:

Identifying the signs of survival mode in your own life
Moving from the sidelines to center stage professionally
Setting healthy boundaries without guilt
Developing grounding rituals to manage high emotions
Crafting an "emergency exit" when necessary for your wellbeing

Drawing from her new book "Tattoos and Pearls: Combining Street Wisdom with Corporate Strategy," Miriam introduces her I.N.K. framework (Instinct, Navigation, Killer mindset) and P.E.A.R.L.S. strategy to help you transform your approach to leadership and life.

This episode is essential listening for anyone feeling burnt out, undervalued, or ready to break cycles and become the "leader of leaders." As Miriam powerfully states: "You weren't born to just survive the fire. You were made to rise from it."
