What happens when the life you worked so hard to build… no longer fits?
When the career, the success, the expectations you lived by suddenly feel too small for who you’re becoming?
In today’s powerful conversation, author, speaker, and coach Arivee Vargas joins us to unpack the messy, beautiful, and often painful journey of rising into your truest self. Together, we dive deep into how cultural, societal, and personal conditioning shapes our identities—and what it really takes to start unraveling the rules you never chose.
We talk about the grief of letting go, the courage it takes to listen to your inner voice, and the slow, sacred work of unlearning, remembering, and reclaiming your life from the inside out.
Whether you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling the ache of growth, or waking up to the realization that you are meant for more—this episode will meet you exactly where you are.
Your time to rise isn’t about burning it all down overnight.
It’s about the small, steady steps toward the life your soul has been whispering for all along.
Meet Arivee:
Arivee Vargas is an award-winning executive coach, speaker, author, and the founder and CEO of Humble Rising LLC.
She’s passionate about helping high-achieving women leaders and lawyers break free from overwhelm and self-doubt—and step into lives filled with joy, fulfillment, purpose, and powerful personal alignment.
As the host of The Humble Rising Podcast, Arivee amplifies the inspiring stories of women of color and shares actionable strategies for achieving sustainable success—not just on paper, but in life.
She’s also the author of Your Time to Rise: Unlearn Limiting Beliefs, Unlock Your Power, and Unleash Your Truest Self—a transformative guide to increasing self-awareness, gaining clarity, uncovering your truth, and aligning your inner world with how you live, lead, and work.
Through her signature four-part framework, Arivee equips women to navigate personal and professional inflection points, dismantle limiting beliefs, and rise into the fullest, most authentic version of themselves.
Her mission is simple but powerful: to help you stop settling for survival—and start living a life that’s true to you.
In this episode, Your Time to Rise: Unlearn Limiting Beliefs, Unlock Your Power, and Unleash Your Truest Self with Arivee Vargas, we explore:
- Arivee’s personal story of leaving a successful legal career to follow her deeper calling into coaching, writing, and speaking
- How becoming a mother triggered her first major identity crisis — and opened the door to deep personal growth
- The weight of cultural, societal, and corporate expectations—and how they silently shape who we believe we’re supposed to be
- Understanding the difference between programming (what you’ve absorbed) and truth (who you really are)
- Why awakening to your true self is not a crisis — it’s a natural evolution
- The slow, messy, sacred process of unlearning “good girl” conditioning and survival-mode habits
- How to listen to the whispers of your body (before your mind tries to rationalize them away)
- Grieving the loss of old identities, roles, and versions of yourself that no longer fit
- How “achievement addiction” and constantly moving the goalpost keeps us trapped in cycles of never-enoughness
- Redefining what success, fulfillment, and enough truly mean on your own terms
- Navigating guilt, fear, and criticism when you choose to live differently than what others expect
- The importance of anchoring deeply into your own values and convictions before seeking external validation
- Why entrepreneurship is the ultimate mirror for personal growth (and how it forces you to confront your limiting beliefs daily)
- Embracing seasonality in life and business—and why constant productivity isn’t sustainable or desirable
- Reclaiming rest, play, curiosity, and connection as essential parts of healing and growth
- Arivee’s simple, reusable four-part framework for rising through life’s inflection points:
Assess → Activate → Vision → Align - A powerful reminder that you don’t need to burn your life down overnight—small shifts, curiosity, and tiny acts of alignment are how real transformation happens
