About Miryam Valdrom

Hi! I am Miryam

life and leadership Coach AnD speaker

Latinas and WOC hire me to become confident and assertive leaders honoring their heritage, culture, reclaim their power, ditch the burnout, and become influential as they advocate for themselves and their communities!

Honoring every part of you requires REVOLUTION. Revolution against everything that required you to fit a mold, against every structure that conditioned you to hide parts of yourself to fit the cultural and societal expectations of the system.

I’m a first-gen Latina, the eldest daughter of hardworking immigrants, and a relentless advocate for safe spaces where people can show up as they are and feel welcomed and valued.

I navigated different industries in my professional journey, including healthcare, higher education, nonprofit, and the male-dominated military, I have seen first-hand the lack of representation, especially for us , women of color, and also experienced the consequences of lack of safe spaces aka toxic environments.

I was conditioned to be a “good girl”, following norms of marianismo. I was taught to keep quiet, work hard, be humble, and respect my elders no matter what. There was an emphasis on living "por el qué dirán” (based on what people will say). I put on a mask to fit in, to feel “safe”, and to sound and appear “more professional”. I dimmed my fire.

But keeping the peace outside only waged a war within. And this is when revolution began. It is through unlearning and relearning that I reclaimed my essence and power, it was only possible after dropping the weight of familial, cultural and other societal expectations.

Now, Latinas and WOC trust me to guide them through their journey as they become confident and influential leaders in life and leadership. Whether you are navigating obstacles in your life or career, know that I’m here to support you and empower you every step of the way.

Imagine being able to show up confident, assertive, unapologetic, with those beautiful things that make you YOU! AND still get that bag, that promotion, that new job, or that relationship, all while prioritizing your wellbeing. Because life and leadership are interconnected; when one suffers, the other one is likely to follow.

Leadership starts with you because the most pivotal relationship you can nurture is the one you have with yourself. You must lead yourself to lead others.

If you are ready to take action and lead yourself to the goals you’ve been dreaming of, let’s connect
