MARILU TAPIA

POWERHOUSE GLOBAL MAGAZINE (PGMAG) INTERVIEW WITH:

MARILU TAPIA (MT)

PGMAG: Marilu, great to have you on today’s interview with Lady Anita.

MT: Thank you, it is my pleasure to be here today.

PGMAG: Please briefly introduce yourself to our readers.

MT: I am Marilu Tapia, the founder of “Good Growth”; after my own healing from a torn meniscus, leaving an abusive relationship and losing my restaurant; I built a successful company starting from zero. And now I am connected to my soul’s purpose. I got certified as a Transformational Coach and an Energy Healer.

I wanted to help people and I know is totally possible for my clients to have the ability to do ANYTHING that involves the knee-pain free.

PGMAG: As the Founder of Good Growth Coaching, what are some of the keys to living a fulfilled life?

MT: All living organisms in the planet are programmed to seek the light. Biologically and mentally, human beings do that too; so, the answer to feel satisfied is filling your life with people and activities that represent light. Here are some aspects I consider important too: 1- Taking care of our body. This is the first responsibility we were given. We need to move it and feed it accordingly. 2- Aligning our dreams and goals with your core values. 3- Growing in understanding, awareness, and actions. 4- Allowing the help from a higher power to guide us. We do not need to know every single step, but we need to know that help is available for us in many forms. 5- Making a difference for good. Our dreams, to have the full weight and support of the universe must, in some way have some good in this dream for others.

PGMAG: Looking at your bio, I see a woman with confidence and one who has strong strategies in building success. How can people become more valuable in the marketplace?

MT: Thank you. So, kind of you. I was raised with a mentality of competition, meaning you had to take someone’s place or fight for it. This is not sustainable at all. You see, we must understand that every single person in this planet is unique, and your own journey brings a particular expertise. We must practice “collaboration”. Find what you are really good at and be at service. The key is on bridging these two factors: the customer’s need, and your personal touch on the solution. The third factor is evolution, I could share more about marketing strategies here, but none of them work if you do not know how to adapt. One of the major challenges I see on many professionals is that they marry their profession, get cut on the “doing” and forget about the “being”. When we focus on the solution, you look around and will notice that as long as there are human beings alive, it will be a need to be supplied. To me, this is the key that opens the door to being valuable.

PGMAG: How can ‘holistic modality’ help leaders to effectively discharge their duties?

MT: The word “holistic” implies to look at the social and mental factors, not only at the symptoms. The world needs leaders who bring their abilities into the different domains of life, bringing their hearts on every decision they take. Also, combining the soul, the spirit and the mind. I am a true believer that this will be the new philosophy of life. When a leader feels happy and complete, he/she is able to excel their leadership to another level.

PGMAG: Please tell us about ‘Guacamole’.

MT: “Guacamole” it was a little restaurant located in Toronto, Canada, featuring Mexican cuisine. Everything was made from scratch and the ingredients were bought at the local farmer’s market. I would say the most popular item at “Guacamole” it was the variety of salsas from mild to extra spicy. I had to close because the landlord wanted to sell the property. I always remember “Guacamole” as one of the best episodes of my life.

PGMAG: Would you agree that our energy affects everything and everyone we come in contact with?

MT: Absolutely. Energy is all that is. Food is one of the biggest examples, you eat heavy meals… you feel heavy. When you listen to music; you are influenced by the vibration that generates. There are many scientific studies that prove how we can affect the environment with our energy. Look around! Your smart phone is able to function when you touch the screen because “you transfer energy” from your finger to the mobile. This is the same principle of energy healing. It is Amazing!

PGMAG: What is your message for women who are living in self-doubt?

MT: It is not your fault. Maybe you had a bad experience or grew up in an environment that raised believing you are not enough. Awareness is the first step to change, and change is good. Fear only wants to keep you safe, but you were made to leave the caterpillar and fly. You are beautiful, and yes, you can accomplish what you desire. Help is on your way… you will see.

PGMAG: If you knew what you know now, what would you do differently?

MT: I would love myself first, as I mentioned earlier, taking care of oneself is the first responsibility we acquire as human beings.

PGMAG: What were the top three books that changed your life?

MT: The bible, think and grow rich and the four agreements.

PGMAG: Finally, what would you say to your younger self?

MT: Allow yourself to relax and to see life as a playground. Let go of attachments and enjoy the now.

PGMAG: Thank you for your time – much appreciated.

MT: I am honoured to be interviewed by you.
