Staying Connected With Our Ancestors With Transformational Coach Wendy Amara - Ep. 123

Welcome to episode 123 of The American Dream in the Eyes of Immigrants Podcast. I am your host, Heidy De La Cruz, and I am on a mission to change the narrative of immigration one immigrant story at a time!

Wendy Amara shares her family’s story of immigration from Guatemala, her upbringing in the San Fernando Valley of California, and how her lived experiences shaped her journey into becoming a strategic life and business coach for Latinas.

In this episode, Wendy reflects on her parents’ immigration story, the cultural contrasts between Guatemala and the United States, and the realities of growing up in poverty. She opens up about the influence of her parents’ political views, the challenges of navigating two cultures, and the early experiences that helped her develop a strong sense of identity and purpose.

Wendy takes us through her path from a corporate career to the transformational coaching world. She shares how doing deep inner work and developing self-awareness changed her life, ultimately inspiring her to help others do the same. Today, she leads impactful group coaching programs, a mastermind for Latinas, and hosts her own podcast, Yes, Mujer, Build It, where she helps women tap into Source energy and create the lives they envision.

With Love, Heidy
