INGRID MALDONADO
What inspired you to pursue your path in business and the beauty industry?
The limitless potential of the beauty industry inspired me to step into aesthetics. This passion for innovation and empowering others drove me to create soGuapa as a hub for cutting-edge solutions.
What advice would you give to women starting out in their 20s who want to become entrepreneurs?
Believe in yourself, pursue your projects with discipline, and build relationships based on shared values. Networking is crucial for creating opportunities.
Surround yourself with mentors, embrace challenges, and balance work and personal life. Consistency, confidence, and persistence turn dreams into reality.
How do you balance the empowering blend of femininity and leadership in your work?
I lead with empathy, creativity, and confidence. Embracing my feminine strengths allows me to mentor the women at soGuapa, foster innovation in beauty solutions, and create a warm environment. Leadership, for me, is inspiring others while staying grounded in values that uplift and empower.
What tools or philosophies do you use to create a life by design, in true Feminine Boss style?
My approach blends continuous learning, clear goals, and self-care. Together, these elements foster balance and fulfilment, creating a more joyful and purposeful life. Designing your life means aligning your personal and professional realities with your dreams.
