Beyond Better with Stacy Ennis26 Mar 2025

182. Why you have more power than you think, with Hady Méndez

This week on Beyond Better, I talk with client—and soon-to-be published author—Hady Méndez. I’ve had the honor of guiding Hady through my six-month program, Idea-to-Draft. As I’ve gotten to know her in the program, I knew I had to share her insights with you.
In this episode, we talk about her personal story of freedom and empowerment. She shares about key themes in her book, including using your voice, championing yourself, celebrating your successes, fostering community, and practicing self-care. And of course, we talk about her author journey, and she shares how she maintained momentum during the six months of our program to not only finish her first draft but also complete editing and sign with a publisher, plus begin organizing her marketing team.

Hady Méndez is a New York-based best-selling author, Latina speaker, and ERG coach. She is the founder and CEO of Boldly Speaking LLC, a company that is transforming the professional experiences of underestimated professionals by providing them with the skills to rise and thrive in the corporate world or in whatever path they choose. I can’t wait for you to meet her in this episode!
