Finding Grace in the In-Between: Why I’m Stepping Out of the Beehive
Welcome to the beehive! If there is one thing you should know about me, it is that I believe in the incredible power of slowing down. In a world obsessed with rushing, multi-tasking, and the constant "go-go-go" mentality, we so easily lose sight of what truly matters.
That is why I am so thrilled to welcome you to Cafecito Conversations, a brand-new video podcast journey I am embarking on alongside my wonderful co-host, Kairym.
The Ritual of Connection
For me, a cup of coffee is never just a drink—it is a sacred opportunity to build bridges. Whether it is remembering the warmth of family gatherings in Austria, or sitting down with my in-laws in Puerto Rico as fresh bread and coffee are passed around for hours, these simple moments are priceless.
My absolute favorite ritual is my weekend morning cappuccino. On Saturdays and Sundays, my husband wakes me up with a perfect cup from our espresso machine. Getting to indulge in that cup in peace, silence, or deep conversation is what truly fuels my spirit.
When the Hive Gets Too Busy: My Search for Purpose
A few years ago, I hit a massive turning point in my life. I felt a powerful calling that told me, "You can't just keep doing this anymore. There is something more out there." I made the terrifying but necessary decision to quit my corporate job to go look for my true purpose.
At first, I thought that path was teaching. Within three months, I was leading a classroom. And while I loved the students and did a great job, I quickly realized it wasn't the final destination. I was searching for something on a much bigger scale.
Through that transition, I learned a profound truth that changed everything: If you haven't found your purpose yet, start serving. When you give your time to volunteer and lift someone else up, that is exactly where your true calling reveals itself.
Choosing Gratitude Over Chronic Complaining
As humans, we have a bad habit of becoming chronic complainers. We get so intensely focused on our immediate problems that we forget to look around and stick our heads out the window to see what else God has in store for us.
I want to use this new podcast space to teach people how to live a life rooted in pure gratitude and conquer their dreams. I've learned that even when a door slam shut, a window opens. It’s about shifting our perspective, finding thankfulness exactly where we are standing—even on a bad day—and discovering the grace in the in-between.
