The fastest way to growth actually requires you to remove what’s weighing you down and doing LESS before you do MORE.

In my client Carmen's case, she came into Reclamation thinking she wanted to scale her group program because that's the primary example of success she saw. But in the program, she realized there were much easier, more profitable opportunities knocking at her door.

In fact, Carmen wasn’t even looking for a mastermind when she heard me speak on a podcast. But within 24 hours, she already knew she was joining Reclamation—before we even got on a call. That’s how thought leadership pre-sells your offers. When your message is strong, your ideal clients know they belong in your space before you ever speak to them.

Carmen Aceves-Iñiguez is a Queer first-gen Xicana, licensed psychotherapist, Certified Leadership Coach, systems change strategist, consultant and a mom of two.

Inside the mastermind, she realized her biggest opportunities were in B2B coaching and consulting—built on relationships and referrals—which was the real key to growing sustainably and being present with her wife and kids.

By letting go of her group program and deprioritizing marketing strategies she didn’t need, Carmen was able to:

✔️ Shift her focus to B2B coaching & consulting while balancing her therapy caseload

✔️ Book out her 1:1 coaching and grow her six-figure business by 45%

✔️ Hit a $75K August without constantly selling

✔️ Make "Delulu mindset" permanent by trusting her demand instead of forcing strategies that weren’t aligned

If you’ve ever questioned whether you need to do more—or simply realign with the demand that already exists—this episode is for you.

"With Trump already reinstating mass deportation, defunding DEI, and fueling anti-immigrant rhetoric, how do we advocate for our communities, serve our people AND fight for change—without burning ourselves out in the process?

In this powerful episode, I sit down with my Reclamation Mastermind client, Carmen Aceves Iñiguez—a licensed psychotherapist, certified leadership coach, and systems change strategist—who has spent over 30 years working across movements for immigrant rights, labor justice, LGBTQ advocacy, and leadership development.

As a queer first-gen Xicana, Carmen’s work bridges therapy, coaching, and organizational strategy to help individuals and teams create change from the inside out.

Together, we tackle:

- 🔥 How history is repeating itself and what leaders need to know about resisting systemic oppression

- 🚨 The dangerous resurgence of anti-immigration policies—including mass deportations and racist, white supremacist agendas under President Trump that directly target our Latino communities

- 🌱 Why community and co-regulation are the antidote to fear and burnout

- 🏛️ The impact of political shifts on our work, leadership, and personal well-being

- 🛑 Why self-preservation is a radical act and how to hold space for others without depleting yourself

- 📖 The critical role of knowledge and history in dismantling oppression and reclaiming our power

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, questioning how to lead in these times, or struggling to find ways to sustain your impact without exhausting yourself—this episode is for you.
