Introduction Episode

Hello, thank you for joining me and listening to the Create Your Best Year podcast.

This is Clara Angelina Diaz-Anderson and I am so excited that you decided to join me on this journey. I wanted to create this introduction of why I decided to create this podcast. So I'll take you on a little journey back in 2016, I published my very first book, I call it my book- baby, Create Your Best Year One day at a time. 

I wrote this book with the intention of having anyone who may want to experience coaching or, you know, giving themselves permission to set goals, have a vision for their life. This book would allow you to do that.

Through the book, I talk about some sort of my story of coming from the Dominican Republic and experiencing cold winters and how I started to set intentions for a beautiful winter, and how that actually helped me get through seasonal depression that I was experiencing. And then I had the idea of what if I did this for the rest of the year. And here came my book, create your best year, one day at a time. And life really started to turn around for me, I had the help of a coach, I eventually became a coach myself, I am now a certified master level coach, where not only do I coach leaders, especially female leaders, but I teach others how to do that.

And so this podcast is really a continuation of six years of this work of creating your best year to really help you look at how do I set goals? How do I set intentions? How do I create my vision? How do I really look at what do I want my life to be? And essentially how do i co create my reality.

And that is the message that I want to get out there to people that especially women, especially women of color, where we have this intergenerational idea that we don't necessarily have power over what happens to us of, or power over what our life is like. And once I started to really take ownership of my life, and literally intentionally wanting to create my best year, one day at a time, my life has really improved. It's really, really wonderful. Not that there hasn't been any difficulties. The tools that you're going to learn through this podcast, are going to allow you to move through those obstacles or you know those challenges in life and turn those challenges into opportunities.

So I welcome you and I thank you for joining me on this journey. One thing that you can do to start creating your best year right now is to start writing down what would your best year look like feel like? And what would you experience and who would you experience it with. A lot of this podcast is going to be almost like a coaching, a group coaching experience. There's going to be a lot of questions and I really invite you to take out a pen and paper and write down the answer to the questions and to allow yourself to live out the questions and most importantly to take action on the insights that you receive from listening to this podcast.

So welcome to the Create Your Best Year podcast. Allow yourself to tell the universe what you want this year and always so that you can receive it.

Thank you for joining me and welcome
