The Mindful Corner Podcast

Hosted by clinical psychologist Dr. Erika Velez, The Mindful Corner is a series of candid conversations with everyday individuals from all walks of life–single parents, college students, career professionals, roaming travelers, and more–who share stories in the hopes that we can earn from each other and, simultaneously, grow together. Have you ever experienced a moment in your life that felt isolating and hopeless? Did you wish you could connect with someone who was dealing with the same emotions you felt? Although our experiences as individuals may be unique, there's far more that we have in common than what separates us. The Mindful Corner will be our place to have authentic and raw conversations about the human experience while discussing the gift of mindfulness and how we can all benefit from some time in a mindful corner.

Alamar Cosmetics Founder, Gaby Trujillo comes on the show to discuss the importance of focusing on pursuing our passions to attain ultimate fulfillment despite internal conflicting feelings that suggest otherwise. Gaby shares her story of choosing to veer off the conventional path of adulthood which began with her decision to leave college, at the age of 18, and focus on developing her makeup career. She explains why it’s important to listen to our inner voices to achieve our goals and then practice mindfulness to appreciate our success once attained. Gaby touches on the reality of having feelings of happiness and guilt coexist within us and how to proceed when such conflict arises. 

Although successful and proud of the progress she has made professionally, Gaby, shares her struggle with the all-too-common “Imposter Syndrome.” Gaby shares how nagging feelings of guilt, laziness and doubt have impacted her self-image and feelings of self-worth. She discusses how pursuing her passions and following her dreams, nonetheless, have fueled her to carry on.
