My guest later this week on Thursday is Doctora Violeta Garcia, CEO of Ecosistema Design LLC. She coaches mujeres on how to stand in their power, how not to give away their power, and how to create the lives they want to live. She is also the community manager for El Pueblito Poder, an online community where Latinas and women of color gather to connect, grow, and support one another. Dra. Violeta is going to share with us a window into how she sees science everywhere and how she uses it to test ideas for her life and how she teaches other mujeres to do the same. Be sure to subscribe to the podcast to be notified when her episode drops.
