Embrace Change & Authenticity to Find Your True Self with Mariana Atencio

🎙️ Don’t miss my podcast interview with Mariana Atencio @mariatencio, Peabody award-winning journalist, bestselling author, and influential speaker. For over a decade, Mariana was recognized for her empathic fieldwork, rising as an anchor at Univision and as a national correspondent at NBC and MSNBC who interviewed Pope Francis, President Biden, and the King of Spain.

✨ Following a harrowing experience in her home country of Venezuela, Mariana fled to the US, eventually using her media platform to shine a light on social issues and help people live their best lives. Her TEDx talk, "What makes YOU special?" ranks among YouTube's top 10 and is complemented by her bestselling memoir Perfectly You.

💬 Listen in to our first-ever interview in English and Spanish, as Mariana shares heartfelt thoughts on:
• Embracing change and transformation, understanding who you are, and discovering your purpose in life
• Staying in control of your authenticity and fostering resiliency and belonging, no matter the circumstances
• The complex relationship between social media, AI, and authenticity
