About this podcast
Life's little lessons with a big impact.
Welcome to Growing with Sol, where we explore the moments and stories that shape who we're becoming. I'm Marisol, and I love having conversations about growth, self-discovery, and learning to put yourself first.
Whether we're diving into books that change our perspective or unpacking personal experiences that teach us something new, this podcast is for women who are done playing small and ready to embrace their own journey.
If you've struggled with putting everyone else first or battled self-doubt, you're in the right place. This isn't about perfection—it's about the messy, beautiful process of growing into yourself.
