Show Notes

I am so interested in having a conversation today with my very special guest Monica Ocejo. The remainder of this introduction comes from a piece Monica wrote about herself… she has a way with words! She writes…

Monica is a Mexican-born fashion designer, entrepreneur, and accidental philosopher who believes in the healing power of laughter, lipstick, and lime.

After launching a successful fashion line and participating in Miami Fashion Week, Monica discovered her true runway was life itself. She’s a breast cancer survivor, devoted mom of three, and a margarita enthusiast who isn’t afraid to pair stilettos with tortillas. Monica splits her time between running a highly successful business, the Tortilla House, as wells as designing, cooking, and dodging life’s unexpected salsas with grace and humor.

Between Threads and Tortillas is her debut memoir and love letter to resilience, heritage, and messy, but beautiful reinvention.

With that let’s get Monica on the show!
