In this powerful episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with nonprofit revenue and operations advisor Vasheti Quiros to explore resilience, reinvention, and building a purpose-driven online business.

Vasheti shares the life-altering moment that changed everything — a sudden brain tumor diagnosis that forced her to step away from her executive director role and completely rebuild her life. After undergoing brain surgery and relearning how to walk, talk, and regain cognitive function, she returned to the nonprofit world with a new mission: helping mission-driven women leaders build predictable funding systems and operational stability without burnout.
