School of Self-Worth

Are you struggling to use your authentic voice in a corporate world?
Do you feel like you have to bury yourself to rise at work, and are unsure how to shift?
If so, this conversation is the one for you!
I am so excited to welcome Mary Beth Rodriguez to the podcast this week to talk about her experience as an Asian-American woman in the corporate world, and how prioritizing self-care, setting boundaries and connecting to rituals helped her find balance and step into her next chapter.
Join Mary Beth and I as we dig into the nuances of what it’s like to be a woman of color stepping into your authentic voice.

Mary Beth Rodriguez, founder of With/Ritual, has worn many hats including chef, food stylist, culinary buyer, and food industry executive.
