People Pay Hundreds of Dollars for This Confidence Coach’s Advice; Here Are Her Best Hacks

The Confidence Gap Is Real — And It's Bigger for Latinos. The numbers back up what a lot of us already feel in our bones:

• Only 45% of Hispanic employees say they're "very confident" they'll reach the highest level they want to in their careers — compared to 52% of white employees, according to Gallup.

• 17% of Hispanic workers say they're "not too confident" or "not confident at all" in their ability to reach their potential at work.

• More than half of Latinas report regularly feeling pressure to provide for their families and succeed professionally — often at the same time, according to Pew Research Center.

• Cultural researchers point to marianismo — the deeply rooted expectation that women should be self-sacrificing, modest, and endlessly accommodating — as a quiet but persistent force working against Latinas' confidence in leadership and professional spaces.

After learning these harrowing statistics, the Buena Cura team scoured the internet to find somebody who could help dig us out of these depressing numbers. Enter identity and confidence coach Aunyaa Marrisa.

She graced us on the Buena Cura Podcast and gave our listeners actionable tips and hacks that can be put to good use immediately. Aunya gave us the one-minute ritual she teaches her clients for an instant boost of confidence.

The HER Method

Aunyaa built a framework she calls the HER Method:

Heal past wounds and limiting beliefs.

Embody the person you're becoming.

Reinforce that identity through affirmations, visualization, and daily habits.

Small Habits, Big Transformation

For the last step in the HER Method, Aunyaa recommends visualization, affirmations, or Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT). Gary Craig, a Stanford-trained engineer, developed the technique in the 1990s. It combines psychological methods with tapping on points used in traditional Chinese acupuncture to regulate emotion.
