Here are some key insights she shared during our conversation:

Self-Worth in Job Interviews

Ari shared a powerful experience from a job interview that underscores the importance of self-worth. She recounted how she confidently asserted her capabilities, stating, "I know who I am. And I know what I'm capable of." By focusing on her strengths rather than her limitations, she was able to convey her enthusiasm and commitment, leading to her being hired on the spot. Ari emphasized that her ability to learn quickly and her passion for connecting with people were crucial factors in that moment, ultimately changing her life completely.

Cultural Heritage and Identity

In celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, Ari expressed her pride in her cultural background. Born in Guadalajara, Mexico, she noted that she often surprises people with her story, especially when they comment on her lack of an accent. She welcomed the opportunity to share her roots and the richness of her heritage, highlighting the importance of recognizing and celebrating one's identity.

Resilience Through Health Challenges

Ari also opened up about her traumatic health challenges during pregnancy. She faced significant adversity when she was given only 30 days to live due to severe heart complications while pregnant. Despite these harrowing circumstances, she demonstrated incredible resilience throughout her recovery journey. Her son was born with health issues, but Ari's determination and strength have since transformed their lives.

Transformative Educational Experiences

Reflecting on her educational journey, Ari recounted a life-changing experience in a Chicano Studies class at community college. Inspired by her professor, Susie Rodriguez, who challenged students to embrace their cultural identity, Ari learned to appreciate her heritage deeply. This experience not only enriched her understanding of Latino culture but also set her on a path toward personal empowerment and professional success.Ariadne Medrano's insights illustrate the power of self-advocacy, cultural pride, resilience in the face of adversity, and the transformative impact of education. Her journey continues to inspire many as she empowers others through Miracle Mindset.
