On this episode of ¡Salud! host Jenna Saucedo speaks with three Latinas who created paths of their own, from a leader in a top public service role, to a doctor making a positive impact in health care institutions and a blogger who found success by sharing her San Antonio Tex-Mex culture in a digital space.
These three mujeres (women) have redefined professionalism, what it means to be Latina, and finding a work-life balance that doesn't require sacrifices. They are proof that Latina women can have it all!

Host Jenna Saucedo sits down with Deputy City Manager Maria Villagomez to talk about what it's like succeeding in a male-dominated field. Maria speaks about the mentors who helped along the way, and how taking their advice allowed her to overcome her fear of public speaking. She also shares how she decompresses after a long day, and the importance of carving time for familia (family).
Jenna also talks to Dr. Monica Verduzco-Gutierrez from UT Health San Antonio on creating your own professionalism. She is a firm believer that success goes beyond dressing to impress, and how your actions create your professional brand. In addition, she shares what inspired her to pursue medicine.
And finally, Jenna talks with lifestyle blogger Melanie Mendez-Gonzales from ¿Que Means What? on taking your own path to success. Melanie shares how she battled with her own cultural identity and how it led her to start a blog. She now celebrates 10 years of being an entrepreneur influencer, blogging about what it's like to be a Latina deeply rooted in the Tex-Mex culture, embracing her roots, and raising a family.
