Fit Rich Life

In this episode of the Fit Rich Life Podcast, I sit down with Claudia Quintela — a true example of what it means to reinvent yourself and build a life of purpose, freedom, and fulfillment. Claudia went from thriving in the fast-paced world of finance to launching her own business, all while navigating corporate chaos, office politics, and personal challenges. We dive deep into what it really takes to create a career and life you love — from negotiating job offers and setting boundaries to starting a business before you quit your 9–5. Claudia shares her story of building her first company while pregnant and on bedrest, the lessons she's learned through entrepreneurship, and how she turned her professional skills into a path toward independence. This conversation is packed with powerful insights on mindset, money, and fitness — the pillars of living a truly Fit Rich Life. We explore compounding in both wealth and growth, the power of storytelling and authentic branding, and the daily habits that keep Claudia strong, centered, and fulfilled.  If you're ready to level up your life and career, this episode is for you.   Connect with Claudia Quintela:   Website: https://digitalclaudia.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iam_digitalclaudia/  Threads: https://www.threads.com/@iam_digitalclaudia Claudia's Viral 13 Career Lessons Post: https://www.threads.com/@iam_digitalclaudia/post/DKCs9pYh3pN  Get my FREE 29-Page Financially Fit Money Guide In this episode: [00:00–11:47] Meet Claudia Quintela — Reinventing Your Career, Navigating Corporate Life & Starting a Business While Pregnant [11:48–16:03] Inside the World of Finance — Lessons, Challenges & Rewards from a High-Pressure Career [16:04–32:49] Finding Balance — Managing Ambition, Career Demands & Personal Growth [32:50–48:26] From Corporate to Creator — Building Genuine Connections, Overcoming Fear & The Power of Super Threads [48:27–01:09:30] Mastering Sales & Coaching — Helping Women Transition from Corporate Life to Entrepreneurship [01:09:31–01:29:24] Financial Freedom Foundations — Diversifying Investments & Breaking Free from Company Stock Dependence [01:29:25–01:44:48] Building an Authentic Brand — Copywriting, Storytelling & Transforming Through Coaching, Fitness & Finance [01:44:49–End] Reinventing in Your 40s — Strength Training, Daily Habits & Practical Tips for Living a Fit Rich Life   Resources Mentioned: Ogilvy on Advertising: https://a.co/d/3Qg0SGa  Breakthrough Advertising by Eugene Schwartz: https://a.co/d/eZZp3pi  How to Write a Good Advertisement by Victor Schwab: https://a.co/d/0GSDlgP  Triggers: 30 Sales Tools You Can Use to Control the Mind of Your Prospect to Motivate, Influence, and Persuade by Joseph Sugarman: https://a.co/d/fkAVRqa  The Psychology of Money by  Morgan Housel: https://a.co/d/frM6mNf  The Algebra of Wealth by Scott Galloway: https://a.co/d/cQyfwNp  Full Show Notes w/ Links to resources: www.fitrichlife.com/podcast/ FIT RICH LIFE NEWSLETTER Get fit, get rich, and live your best life in 10 minutes a week.

It is a show all about entrepreneurship, mastering health & fitness, doing work you love, and living life with purpose.   In this episode, I had the opportunity to interview Amanda Sevilla, a truly multifaceted individual who is committed to helping others flourish with purpose.    Amanda Sevilla is a Transformation & Purpose coach,  Ayurvedic health counselor, and yoga teacher based in Southern California. Her work encompasses an integrative mix of mindfulness, physical and spiritual wellness, Purpose coaching, energy healing, meditation, and yoga.   She coaches women to live a life they love, and love the life they live through her Flourish with Purpose Coaching program, where women gain the courage to explore all of themselves, their dreams, and their limitations, with guidance. They learn what gifts and talents they bring to the world and how everything that makes them absolutely unique plays a role in their purpose.   In this interview, you'll learn about going against what your parents and society are telling you to do, finding and living your purpose, listening to your body and the cues it will give you when you're not in alignment with your purpose, and more!   Connect with Amanda Sevilla:   Website: www.amandavsevilla.com/ Youtube: https://youtube.com/@amandavsevilla/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/amandavsevilla/ Flourish with Purpose Podcast: https://pod.link/1723518681/   Free Self Worth Protection Workbook: https://payhip.com/b/oZj9x In this episode, you will learn about:   [00:00-09:22] Meet Amanda Sevilla, the multifaceted transformation and purpose coach - Amanda shares her background being a first generation filipino-american following her own path.    [09:23-24:46] Diving deep into finding life's purpose.    [24:47-43:38] The importance of following your intuition, learn and evolve as a human being - The marble metaphor and listening to your body.    [43:39-55:18] The connection between health and purpose - Amanda shares her philosophy of what purpose means for her.    [55:19-1:12:45] Coaching, building a team & the power of community and social media to reach to the next level - Flourish with purpose!    [1:12:46-] Amanda shares one tip  for fitness, one for money and one for life!  Key quotes:   "Do what you know you won't regret.

And if you don't heal that root area with your relationship with your money, it doesn't matter how much money you make, you will never be wealthy." -Justin David Carl   Full Show Notes w/ Links to resources: www.fitrichlife.com/podcast/ FIT RICH LIFE NEWSLETTER Get fit, get rich, and live your best life in 10 minutes a week.
