In this special in-the-car episode, Mimi chats with Caren Martinez—content creator, aspiring UX designer, and multi-hyphenate creative—about the beauty and chaos of choosing your own path, one pivot at a time. Over chamomile tea and matcha, they explore the messy middle of life, where nothing goes as planned, and that’s exactly the point.
In this episode, Caren shares:
- How a sushi restaurant encounter sparked her 11-year journey into content creation
- Why she’s pivoting into UX design in her mid-thirties
- The emotional reality of juggling a full-time job, school, and caregiving
- Navigating the double pressure of Hispanic and Mormon cultural expectations around marriage and kids
- The lessons she’s learning about boundaries, burnout, and being okay with not having it all figured out
- Her evolving relationship with the Mormon faith, and why it’s okay to wrestle with it
- Thoughts on free will, fate, and the beauty of letting life unfold
Bonus: Caren is co-hosting a Morocco group trip this October! Details inside the episode.
