There’s something incredibly raw about that moment when you realize you’re the only thing standing between you and the life you truly want.

In this episode of The Mindful Hustle, I sat down with Gabriela Estrada—a powerhouse startup operator turned purpose-led business coach—to unpack what it really takes to step into your own lane and stay there. From going all-in on your own mission to overcoming fear by taking fast, imperfect action, Gabriela shares what it looks like to build your confidence while you build your company.

This conversation hit deep for me.

We talked about the inner shift that happens when you move from executing someone else's vision to owning your own. Gabriela got radically honest about how she used to give 100% to her 9-to-5 but hold back in her own business out of fear. The moment she realized that failure wasn’t an excuse—it was a choice? Game-changer.

She also broke down her mindset around pricing, burnout, and worth, and why charging more isn’t just a money decision—it’s a mission decision.

You’ll hear how growing up as a first-generation Latina, helping her dad build a business at 12, and being the “go-to” problem solver shaped Gabriela’s deeply grounded and fiercely compassionate approach to coaching. If you’ve ever struggled to believe in your own value, or wondered if you’re doing enough, this episode is your permission slip.

💡 Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

The “fail fast” mindset that keeps you moving through fear

A powerful framework for pricing your services in alignment with your capacity and goals

Why taking massive action—even messy—compounds your chances of success

The truth about confidence: it’s not natural, it’s practiced

If you’re building a business that reflects your higher self—and you know your success starts on the inside—you’re going to feel seen in this conversation.
