As an immigrant rebuilding her life and career in a new country, she carried the constant pressure to prove herself, overperform, and keep pushing forward. Like so many high-achieving professionals, she believed stress was simply the price of success.Everything changed after a serious health crisis forced her to rethink what she believed about achievement, resilience, and self-care. She realized that much of what she had called "stress management" was actually trauma-driven survival—a cycle of overfunctioning, self-neglect, perfectionism, and constant pressure.Today, through The CALM Process, Lolita empowers individuals and organizations to recognize unhealthy patterns, build emotional resilience, and create healthier, more sustainable success.Whether you're a leader, entrepreneur, professional, or someone looking to improve your mental wellness, Lolita shares practical tools and powerful insights that can help you live and lead with greater balance and purpose.Learn more about Lolita Guarin:https://www.beamazingyou.com/If you enjoy interviews with bestselling authors, entrepreneurs, leadership experts, coaches, and inspiring changemakers, please subscribe, like, and share for more episodes of Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino.For More Famous Interviews:Subscribe via Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgi6GpDDDrc_PgOzaERGbLQ Subscribe via iTunes/Apple - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/famous-interviews-with-joe-dimino/id1660256991Subscribe via Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7j92QDS13LXgajPt80X2dhThe Home of Famous Interviews:http://famousinterviewswithjoedimino.blogspot.com/Contribute to Famous Interviews via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_b
