What if the biggest question you ask yourself isn't "What's next?" but "Am I doing life right?"

In this episode of My Story Is Not Unique, hosts Marlenne J. and Latisha D. welcome Courtney, founder of Center Court Collective, for an honest conversation about self-trust, purpose, and having the courage to redefine success.

What if the thing you've been searching for isn't out there it's something you're meant to create?

In this inspiring episode of My Story Is Not Unique: Stories You Know from Voices You Don't, Latisha and Marlenne sit down with entrepreneur, strategist, and self-proclaimed “Vision Producer” Alisa Manjarrez to explore a journey that many of us know all too well: the search for where we belong.

From growing up in Fresno, California, to moving across the state in pursuit of bigger opportunities, Alisa spent years asking herself a familiar question: Who am I? Along the way she discovered that fulfillment wasn't tied to a location, a title, or even a carefully crafted career plan. Instead, it emerged when she stopped trying to find the perfect path and started creating her own.

In this conversation, Alisa shares:

• Her lifelong journey of self-discovery and reinvention
• Why searching for your purpose can sometimes keep you from creating it
• The surprising lessons she learned from being laid off
• How surrender opened doors she never expected
• What it means to be a “Vision Producer”
• Why fearlessness isn't the absence of fear—it's moving forward anyway
• The power of starting before you're ready

Through stories of career pivots, entrepreneurship, faith, and trusting the unknown, Alisa reminds us that growth often begins when we stop trying to fit ourselves into a box and allow ourselves to evolve.

Because your next chapter may not be about finding yourself it may be about creating yourself.

What happens when the hosts become the guests?

In this special episode of My Story Is Not Unique: Stories You Know from Voices You Don’t, Latisha and Marlenne turn the conversation inward. Six months into the podcast journey, they pause to reflect on their own stories, the seasons of change they are navigating, and what it means to give themselves permission to be new.

From starting new jobs and rediscovering old passions to navigating divorce, identity shifts, creativity, and self-discovery, this candid conversation explores the uncomfortable but transformative space between who we were and who we are becoming.

Together, they discuss:

• What it means to embrace being "new"
• Letting go of identities that no longer fit
• Rediscovering parts of ourselves we thought were lost
• The tension between certainty and growth
• Why our stories don't need to be extraordinary to be worth sharing

Honest, reflective, and deeply personal, this episode is a reminder that change is rarely neat, growth is often uncomfortable, and every story especially the ones still unfolding is enough.

Because sometimes the most important story to tell is your own.

What happens when you trust your gut and take the leap?

We talk about confidence, family, finding your people, embracing change, and why sometimes the best adventures begin when you stop following someone else's timeline.

What do you want?

Join us for a thoughtful conversation about healing, empowerment, and the stories that shape who we become.

Welcome to My Story Is Not Unique, stories you know from voices you don’t.

What happens when the life you worked so hard to build no longer feels like your own?

In this episode of My Story Is Not Unique, we sit down with Alex former corporate leader, creative, and founder of Latine Theater Lab — to talk about crossroads, identity, therapy, fear, and the courage it takes to start over.

From navigating family expectations and corporate America to reconnecting with creativity, purpose, and self-trust, Alex shares what it means to stop surviving and finally begin curating a life that feels aligned.

This is a conversation about healing.
About reinvention.
About listening to yourself when something no longer fits.

And about realizing that maybe the scariest decisions… are the ones that lead us home to ourselves.
