Show notes

Hello listeners! This week we're back with an espresso episode because the first week of 2018 went by too quick and I didn't want to start the second week without checking in.
How are you doing with your intention setting for 2018? I have been focusing on what is going to happen this year and as I got a bit inpatient, the Universe put this quote in front of me and I felt compelled to share it with you this week.
It is a Christian quote and even if you're not religious (I am not at all, but I believe that lessons can come in many forms)I think you can still look at the message behind the stories and trust the process.
Week 2 of 2018 we'll be back with an awesome episode and more announcements for you.
Stay shining!

Rapidín, Because Goals Dec 30, 2017

Show notes

Hello listeners!
Last episode of 2017 and I wanted to bring you an episode to help you end the end right: a goal setting episode! As a recovering procrastinator, I have researched many ways of goal setting and I have found a formula that works for me.
First, we start with a 2017 review. We must acknowledge the year and be prepared to let it go.
If you were to name 2017. What would that name be?
2017 Review:
What did you accomplish?
What can you celebrate?
What lessons did you learn? If you can categorize them, that’s great
What meaningful connections did you make that helped you reach your goals?
What habits did you create or cultivate that help you spark your mind and body?
What are you excited to carry over from 2017 to 2018?
Then we set our intentions for each of the categories of our life wheel:

Relationships
Family
Personal Passions
Spiritual
Health
Business / Career

Now we're ready to set our 2018 goals. We're going to use the S.M.A.R.T. method:
S - SPECIFIC OR SIGNIFICANT
As many details as possible. What is it that you really want and why? For example, some people say go to the gym. Okay, a specific goal would be go to the gym 3x per week before work for 1 hour each time for the rest of the year.
M - MEASURABLE OR MEANINGFUL
This is the how. How will I know I completed the goal? How much change do I need to create in my life to make this happen? In the example we’re using, we can measure our small accomplishments each week, each month and ultimately by the year. We can establish parameters also, life happens. Using the gym example, you can say that you’re allowed to miss 2 workouts per month.
A - ATTAINABLE OR ACTIONABLE
Is this possible? Is it a reasonable stretch? Am I setting myself up for success?
R - RELEVANT OR REWARDING
Is this goal meaningful to me? Is this complimenting a slice of my life wheel? Is succeeding at this goal make me feel whole? Is this going to prevent me from achieving a more important goal? Am I ready to commit to these goals?
T - TIME-BOUND OR TRACKABLE
When will this goal be considered complete/accomplished?
When do I start taking action?
What immediate deadlines do I have to do today to get this goal started?
After we have our S.M.A.R.T. goals set, then we determine our rewards and feelings when the goal is achieved and we begin our milestone plan.
Lastly, we're going to write a contract where we commit to finish these goals!
Don't forget to sign up to the Cafe con Pam Accountability group where we go over goal setting and we have a community of people that are willing to complete their goals too! Head over to spreadideasmovepeople.com/accountability and sign up today.
Stay Shining!

Once a Caregiver, Always a Caregiver with Martha Rañon Dec 23, 2017

Show notes

Hello listeners, here we are at the last episode of 2017! This year flew by and I'm glad soon we will be able to say adios to this year.
This week, we have a conversation with Martha Rañon.
Martha, is the Director of Education & Programs for Southern Caregiver Resource Center. Martha first became a caregiver to her great aunt who was 93 and had Dementia. With little knowledge on how to be a Caregiver, Martha reached out to Southern Caregiver Resource Center and became a client they taught her the importance of self-care and knowing what the resources are. Martha now teaches classes and puts together workshops and conferences throughout San Diego County with the hopes of empowering caregivers everywhere to let them know that they don’t have to do this alone. That there is a network of care that is out there for you and you can access it and learn from others who are in the same situation.
This episode is relevant to this Holiday season because a lot of us are caregivers without realizing it. Like Martha said, just breathe. There are a lot of resources available and remember that self-care is so important.
Also, at the end of this episode, I give you a special announcement. So make sure you stay until the very end. I'm excited to launch the Cafe con Pam Accountability Group! Head over to spreadideasmovepeople.com/accountability to sign up and get updates.
Listeners, thank you for hanging out with me these last 12 months! See you again in 2018!
Stay shining!

Brown is Beautiful with Fernando Lopez Dec 01, 2017

Show notes

Hello listeners, here we are with another episode and this time we had a conversation with Fernando Lopez!
Fernando, is a restaurateur and entrepreneur. Alongside his three siblings, he owns LA’s iconic Guelaguetza restaurant and in 2014 branded and launched the delicious michelada mix, I Love Micheladas. The mix is available online and in over 150 retailers throughout the US and has been covered nationally by Vice, Los Angeles Magazine, GQ, Urban Daddy, and the LA Times.
Fernando was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, and migrated to the US with his family in 1994. His family opened Guelaguetza restaurant and by the age of 12, Fernando was doing produce purchasing every week, and eventually worked most of the positions within the restaurant. Fernando graduated from UC Santa Cruz with a focus in Business Management, Economics, and Marketing in 2009.
In 2014 Fernando was chosen as one of Zagat's 30 under 30 in Los Angeles. Fernando also sits on the Regional Leadership Board for KPCC, the NPR station with the most growth in the Latino market nationwide, where he’s been serving for 2 years now and helping guide and shape the future of the station and the region. He was asked to sit on the board because of his commitment to, and vision of, Los Angeles and his community.
Listeners, this episode has been waiting to be released for over 3 months! The original interview got accidentally deleted, and this time we recorded for 4 hours! Finally, here is our conversation with Fernando. We talked about how his family migrated from Oaxaca, how the Lopez kids took over the restaurant and improved the operations to make it what it is today, and how the I Love Micheladas brand began.
Also, this is a different format because I had to essentially break the 4-hour interview into less than half of the time. Let me know what you think!
Please share this with a friend, and submit a 5 star rating at Apple Podcasts to improve visibility of the show.

Be Yourself, Be Creative, and Know that You’re Beautiful with Ashley Nell Tipton Nov 04, 2017

Show notes

Hello listeners, we are back another week and this time we had a conversation with Ashley Nell Tipton.
You may have heard of Ashley when she made history after becoming the first designer to win Project Runway with a final collection designed for plus-size women.
Ashley was born and raised in San Diego, California. The youngest of four children she had an early passion for fashion. Ashley learned to sew on her grandmother’s sewing machine when she was just seven years old.
One of her goals is to help full figured women feel good in what they wear and she hopes to be “THE” Full Fashion Designer. She understands what plus women want and would like to give curvy girls a chance to show their style with chic edginess.
Ashley says: “I pictured my muse roaming the streets of Paris unabashed and feeling confident in their stride while wearing designs that are not seen in full figure fashions today. The finished line is filled with bold colors and finesse… just like me!”
This one is a lengthy one, Ashley truly dives deep into her story and shares the criticism she's had to face from her family to people in social media, while creating her brand and also having so many women look up to her for being the first contestant to ever create a plus size women collection in Project Runway.

The Uncertain Future of Heirloom Maize with Fernando Laposse Oct 27, 2017

Show notes

Hello listeners, during this episode we have a conversation with Fernando Laposse.
Fernando is a London based Mexican designer with a BA in product design from Central Saint Martins. He was born in Paris, France and his work is deeply rooted in material experimentation and craft with a great emphasis on self-production and the DIY culture. Fernando strives to transform materials which are cheap, readily available, and often waste or perishable matter, enabling him to make crossovers between product design and gastronomy. His projects aim to raise questions regarding whole system thinking, ephemerality, patterns of consumption and the politics of food production through the creation of design objects, performances, and videos.
Totomoxtle is a project inspired by the relationship of Mexico with its maize by creating a surfacing material from naturally coloured, native corn husks. The process is simple, the husks are flattened and glued onto veneer or MDF which can be sawed and laser-cut to create tiles or marquetry for interiors and furniture.
Apart from creating a sustainable material, the project also aims to raise awareness about the uncertain future of heirloom maize and the people that harvest it using traditional methods in an increasingly globalized world.
