If you’ve ever wondered whether you belong at the table, if you’ve played it small and shrunk yourself even a bit to fit in, if you’ve struggled with finding and owning your voice and your worth, and if you ever asked yourself how you can lean into unique superpower, this episode is for you. This conversation with guest and powerhouse Illianna Acosta is going to help you see you are not alone in what you’ve been through, give language to things you are feeling and, help you navigate those feelings and roadblocks. Illianna Acosta is all about helping people and organizations amplify their connection to community, leadership and belonging. She draws inspiration from humble beginnings that taught her a great deal about choosing a future outside of what she saw in front of her. With 20 years of experience in AdTech, partnerships, and sales, Illianna is a Senior Manager at LinkedIn, managing Global AdTech Partnerships. Her work focuses on accelerating innovation, revenue, and customer growth. It was imperative to find her way, voice, and the support that would lead her to feel empowered enough to show up as herself.  Illianna is the Global Co-Chair of LinkedIn’s Hispanic ERG.  She’s a member of the Chief network, she serves on the National Board of the 100 Hispanic Women Organization, and she is the Co-President of the Cornell Johnson School NY Alumni Organization.  She is also the author of Lost In Translation, a newsletter focused on highlighting challenges and limitations for historically excluded groups, with experiences that have shaped who they are and how they show up in their personal and professional lives.

If there is one thing I’ve learned in the past year is that you must give to yourself just like you give to others. Your tireless work for others including family cannot come at the expense of your well-being. The cost of all the caregiving you do cannot be yourself.  Because before you had children or before you had a partner, you were a person with your own identity. Your own dreams. Your own interests. You had a way to take care of yourself. Becoming a mom doesn’t mean all that gets pushed aside or delayed. It means an evolution of those things. And the transition and being in the throws of motherhood requires us to see ourselves again for who we truly are and take care of ourselves the way we need in this moment. In this episode, I share two steps to getting back to yourself when you’re in the thick of motherhood.   CONNECT WITH ARIVEE www.linkedin.com/in/ariveevargas/ Join Arivee’s  women empowering women email community for inspiration, motivation, and strategies from Arivee in your inbox.  We’re focusing on how to live that one beautiful precious life the way you were meant to live it - with meaning, aliveness, and alignment. 2023 IS YOUR YEAR:  Grab your intention for 2023 template here.
