We recently connected with Railey Molinario and have shared our conversation below.
Railey, thank you so much for joining us. You are such a positive person and it’s something we really admire and so we wanted to start by asking you where you think your optimism comes from?
My optimism stems from the profound realization that fear, particularly the fear of an unfavorable future, only holds power over us if we allow it to. Pessimism, in essence, is rooted in the apprehension that something negative will transpire, often drawn from past experiences and anxieties. Shifting away from this mindset is liberating—it involves relinquishing the victim mentality and recognizing that life unfolds in the present moment. By embracing optimism, we step into a realm of creation, asserting control over our narrative. Rather than succumbing to the paralyzing grip of fear, doubt, and worry, I choose to live authentically by fostering a positive outlook. Tomorrow’s outcome is more likely to be favorable when we actively contribute to its creation, unshackled from the constraints of past fears. I firmly believe that the key to self-respect and authentic living lies in the conscious cultivation of optimism and a focus on the present.
Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
As a relationship intelligence expert, my focus revolves around empowering individuals and businesses to cultivate thriving relationships with themselves and others. My approach is rooted in a fusion of neuroscience, human behavior, and effective communication techniques. In 2024, we find ourselves in a time of unprecedented freedom, where our choices define our lives. I am passionate about guiding people through this era of self-discovery, encouraging them to understand themselves on a deeper level and to embrace the freedom of authenticity. Through my signature 3-month coaching program, the Power Couple PhD, I assist couples in creating and maintaining thriving relationships. Additionally, I create and run community projects such as Empowered Mamas, and she THRIVES!—initiatives to support and uplift individuals in various aspects of their lives. This journey is about more than just relationships; it’s about navigating the intricacies of human connection, personal growth, and the freedom to define our own narratives.
If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?
Reflecting on my journey, mastering relationship intelligence is the cornerstone of my personal and professional success. Three pivotal skills have emerged from this practice, reshaping my path: first, self-awareness. Delving into my values, traumas, and triggers has been transformative, allowing me to navigate life authentically. Understanding oneself is the foundation for comprehending and effectively engaging with the world. Second, self-management has been instrumental in my journey. Overcoming past abuse and neglect, I refused to succumb to the victim mentality that fueled my depression and anxiety. Instead, I took responsibility for my well-being, using self-management to rewire my brain and propel myself from surviving to thriving. Lastly, relationship awareness has enabled me to approach others and the world with compassion and curiosity rather than judgment. For those embarking on their journey, my advice is to prioritize self-awareness, embrace self-management as a tool for personal empowerment, and foster relationship awareness to cultivate genuine connections in both personal and professional spheres.
Okay, so before we go we always love to ask if you are looking for folks to partner or collaborate with?
We actively seek partnerships and collaborations, particularly with female entrepreneurs who are coaches or therapists specializing in supporting women or working with moms. Our Empowered Mamas, and she THRIVES! platforms are community-driven projects, and we believe in the power of experts contributing valuable insights through writing for our blog, being featured in our magazine, and participating in our events. We recognize the unique perspective and empathy that comes from personal experience, especially in the coaching industry. We are drawn to collaborators who bring professional expertise and a genuine connection with their audience, rooted in shared experiences. If you resonate with our mission of empowering and supporting women through these platforms, we invite interested individuals to connect with us and explore the opportunities for collaboration. Together, we can build a stronger community and provide valuable support to women in various aspects of their lives.
