We recently had the chance to connect with Araceli Soriano and have shared our conversation below.
Hi Araceli, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy day to share your story, experiences and insights with our readers. Let’s jump right in with an interesting one: Who are you learning from right now?
Right now I’m religiously learning from a couple of people that have their own podcasts; Lewis Howes and Luis Ernesto Franco. The individuals that they both interview bring on different perspectives and ways of thinking about life and about how to keep evolving with time. I am blown away with each episode.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Araceli and am the creator of Inspirate Con Celi; a positive mindset podcast that I started on YouTube on 11/11/24 and on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeartRadio, and SoundCloud on 1/1/25. The content is in Spanish but I learn mostly everything in English. I decided to reach out to the Spanish speaking community because I feel that there are limited resources compared to the amount available in English when it comes to manifestations, positivity, holistic healing, and mindfulness.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
As a child, I didn’t believe in myself. I was a follower through the parenting style that I had at home that prohibited me from becoming somebody just because I was a girl. Growing up oppressed I didn’t have much of a voice and little by little, I was discovering that I had interests that I wasn’t able to fulfill unless I had my own independence. This meant that I had to wait at least until I was 18 years old. Now, I definitely don’t believe that anybody should be forced to believe they don’t matter in the world. Not matter what age, each individual is entitled to express themselves however they see fit.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell the young me that it will all be ok and that nothing is her fault. That the person that told me not to cry or speak unless spoken to was only doing so because they didn’t know how to be a parent. Their parenting style was the best they thought they could do and it wasn’t their fault for how bad they were treating you.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
To keep learning and evolving with times. If I stay stagnant I can’t mentally grow.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. When do you feel most at peace?
I feel most at peace when I am true to myself and ground myself in the moment; even if it’s just for a minute. If I keep chugging along and don’t stop to see my surroundings or how I’m feeling in that moment, then anxiety sets in. Being thankful each day for the good and bad that occurs is what keeps me centered.
