Ep 205: Finding a Mentor / The Mess of Mentoring Series Day 2 with Amy Ayala and Bianca Juarez

Finding a mentor often brings immense pressure, especially when you realize you have no idea what you’re actually looking for - or worse, who to trust with your growth. If you’ve ever felt the tension of wanting to grow as a leader but feeling stuck, this episode is for you.

In Day 2 of our mentoring series, Amy Ayala and I went deep into the "heart" of mentorship. It’s not just about who has the biggest platform or the most followers on social media; it’s about character, resilience, and that prophetic "X-factor" that you can't teach. Amy and I talked openly about the importance of being "seen" by a mentor and why loyalty, honor, and the willingness to put in the "reps" are what actually prepare you for your next season.

Whether you are looking to be mentored or you are ready to start pouring into someone else, we’re breaking down what it actually looks like to lead well. You cannot be what you don’t see, so let’s talk about how to open your eyes to the right potential.
