What started as a career path turned into a journey of self-discovery.
She wasn’t just making a living—she was learning to live fully.

Katherine Serrano Sosa is part of the 2%—a licensed Latina architect who left behind the corporate mold to create a practice rooted in purpose, alignment, and intention.

In this episode of Success Unscripted, we talk about the journey underneath the job title—the healing, the self-discovery, and the quiet work it takes to show up as your full self in the rooms you once felt small in.

We get into:

How therapy, journaling, and heartbreak helped her find clarity

Why personal healing and professional growth go hand in hand

What it means to return to your most confident, expressive self

The difference between aligned action and performative effort

Letting go of people-pleasing and creating boundaries without guilt

Katherine isn’t starting over. She’s coming home to who she’s always been.

This one’s for the high-achievers doing the inner work. For the eldest daughters, the quiet ones, the ones who’ve outgrown shrinking. I’m proud of this one—and I think you’ll feel it too.
