Feliz 28 a todos mis queridos Peruanos!! 🇵🇪✨❤️✨💃🏻 Que viva Peru!! 🙌 Les comparto un hermoso tributo a una de las Peruanas más queridas de todas…Chabuca!! 🌹 Today we celebrate Peru’s Independence from Spanish Colonial rule. My culture is the Peruvian Criollo - a mix of European and Indigenous that created a gorgeous tapestry of music, food, art, dance, and tradition that is deeply embedded into Peruvian culture. I am proud to be a Peruvian Criolla! 💃🏻 This song, La Flor de La Canela is a gorgeous ode to Lima, to Peru, and one of my favorite songs of all time. Even if you can’t understand the poetic lyrics, you can feel the deep soul and beautiful heart behind them. Chabuca Granda was one of the most iconic and beloved Criollo singers and this video is an honor to her legacy sung by some of today’s most talented Latin-American singers and musicians. Enjoy!! ❤️ #feliz28 #feliz28dejulio #quevivaperu #chabucagranda #peru #musicacriolla

Emerging…almost 😅 Mercury goes direct today, Emerging…almost 😅 Mercury goes direct today, so I thought I’d start to come out of hiding…more coming soon! ⚡️ Repost from @theinspiredbrand • My name is Claudia Miró and I am the owner, founder, and Chief Inspiration Officer at The Inspired Brand. You haven't heard much from us here on social media for a few years, and a few reasons! ⁠ ⁠ For almost 14 years, we've had the blessing of staying busy working with amazing clients and projects that put our creative gifts to use. Our work has been "behind the scenes", in service of others sharing their mission, message and service. Now it's our turn!⁠ ⁠ Like most of the world, the past couple of years have changed us, and changed our business. We are different, and our values and perspectives have shifted. We feel so grateful to still have a business, and that we have been busier than ever during these intense times. But being too busy brings its own challenges, and we have been called to make uncomfortable changes to scale and evolve our business and the ways we serve. ⁠ ⁠ For many months, we have been in the process of a deep recalibration, transformation, and rebranding of our own. We'll be sharing that soon 😉⁠ ⁠ I believe that entrepreneurship is a transformational path. It certainly has been for me! I plan on sharing about my journey from passionate yet naive freelancer, struggling with insecurity & impostor syndrome, to finding my purpose and stepping into my gifts leading a global branding & communications agency. I'll also be sharing more about my love/hate relationship and journey with social media!⁠ ⁠ For now, I just wanted to introduce myself! Check our next post for more about what we do at The Inspired Brand... 🌈⁠

Baby Bonita turns 15 today!! 😻 Bonita - you ar Baby Bonita turns 15 today!! 😻 Bonita - you are the best baby girl and fluffy companion I could have asked for. I can’t believe all the adventures we’ve been on, chapters we’ve navigated, and memories we’ve shared. At 27, you came into my life to keep me grounded and connected to my heart and my home - when all I wanted was to be selfish and carefree. You helped me usher in a powerful chapter of “Mother”…thank you for choosing me as your cat mama 🥹 It’s been a humbling and beautiful journey since I fell in love with your beautiful face and adopted you, and I’m so grateful for all of it. Thank you for being my emotional support being and helping to regulate my nervous system with your soothing purrs and fluffy alpaca belly. Thank you for keeping me sane and entertained through the best and worst of times, and for being the very best little spoon 🥰 Sending love to your sister Inca on the other side of the rainbow bridge 🌈 today we celebrate the love and joy you two sisters brought to these two sisters for so many years 👯‍♀️ @sandra.m.miro Happy birthday beautiful Baby Bonita!! Here’s to many, many more…I love you! 🎉🎂😻💖 #cats #catsofinstagram #kitty #catmama #catbirthday #tabbycat #adoptdontshop #love

Took a stroll through the #SeattleArboretum a coup Took a stroll through the #SeattleArboretum a couple weekends ago just before the rains washed away the cherry blossoms. Spring in Seattle, even a cold and wet one, is pretty spectacular. Seeing nature bursting with new life, I notice the beauty, and the imperfections, and realize they are all in the same. 💖 Spring blessings everyone… ✨🌸🌷🌼🪷 #spring #springinseattle #seattle #arboretum #springflowers #bloom #blossom
I am heartbroken, horrified and terrified at the l I am heartbroken, horrified and terrified at the leaked documents coming from the #SCOTUS. But I am not at all surprised. This has been telegraphed for decades - particularly the last several years. This is terrifying not just for women, but for all of us. For any one who doesn’t fit into the narrow window of who the conservative right deem worthy of dignity and power. Government-mandated pregnancy will affect the poorest and least protected women and girls in the nation. Women with privilege will always have access and options. Every single one of the 5 conservative justices LIED under oath in congress to get on the bench…each of them strategically placed for this very moment. So why? Why is it so important that they control women and reproductive rights?? So many #SCOTUS decisions are based upon on a constitutional right to privacy. This just ended that. This will fundamentally change America for the worst. This is christo-fascist theocracy & radical minority rule. This BS decision sets a radically dangerous precedent and has far reaching consequences. We can not stay in fear, dismay or silence. We must all rise up, focus and organize. We must never take our rights for granted ever again - and we must remember that until all of us are free, none of us are free. #VoteBlueIn22 #protectroevwade #roevwade #scotus #keepabortionsafeandlegal
I had the honor of chatting with Alexandra Faust f I had the honor of chatting with Alexandra Faust for her 9 to Side Podcast recently. It was such a blast and super insightful to reflect back on my journey from swearing off the 9-5 life, launching my side hustle, to where I am today almost 14 years later. It’s been a ride! Episode is live now so check it out! 🎙💖💃🏻✨ Repost from @alexandra9toside • Check out Episode 16! (Link to episode in bio).

During the first days and weeks of the pandemic, a During the first days and weeks of the pandemic, amidst the stress, anxiety and uncertainty, I felt a deep sense of calm. I didn’t tell many people because it would have sounded crazy, and insensitive to the pain and strain so many were under. But the calm I felt was deep… For years I had been learning and practicing to be in relationship to nature. To listen to her, to attune to her rhythms, cycles, and her breath. It felt like for the first time in centuries, she was releasing a big, long exhale. The massive energy of expansion, expansion, expansion had slowed all the way down just for a brief but palpable moment…the birds were singing an exuberant song, nature was rejoicing at the chance to reclaim some of the energy and space humanity had consumed for so long… I reflect back on that window of time now…not too long after, observing how humans are seemingly desperate to jump right back onto the speed train. I feel my own sense of quickening and tendency to ramp back up… I meditate this morning on that profound sense of peace I felt, allow myself to slow all the way down, and take my own deep exhale…I touch the earth in Bhumi-Sparsha mudra, my other hand on my heart…sending my love and gratitude for the abundance and gift of life she provides me and all of her beings. Thank you Pachamama, for all of your love, blessings, and all that you transform for us. 💖 Happy Earth Day… 🌎 #earthday #blessings #pachamama #happyearthday #walklight
Repost from @theinspiredbrand • I want to do wor Repost from @theinspiredbrand • I want to do work that matters, and that makes a positive impact.⁠ ⁠ If you are reading this post, chances are you do too. My followers are a small but beautiful group of heart-driven clients, collaborators, friends, and fellow conscious entrepreneurs I have had the blessing to connect with along my journey. We all want to do work that inspires, that is purposeful and that lights us up - that utilizes all of our gifts and passions, and aligns to our soul’s calling. ⁠ ⁠ So why aren’t we all doing that??⁠ ⁠ The funny thing about life, is that the good stuff isn’t just handed to you. Go figure! Part of the “deal” is that we have to face challenges, roadblocks, resistance, and all of the fun stuff that the Universe throws our way on our path toward our wildest dreams…⁠ ⁠ The magic that comes from overcoming those challenges is called Transformation.✨ ⁠ ⁠ Through that alchemical process of turning our fear into power, our roadblocks into wisdom, and our challenges into creativity - we become who we need to be to do what we’re here to do.⁠ ⁠ 🎨 What are you here to CREATE?⁠ 🎨 WHO are you here to BE?⁠ 🎨 What’s stopping you from sharing yourself FULLY in the WORLD?⁠ ⁠ These questions have driven my partners Bradley, Neil and I in our lives, businesses, creative work, and were a huge inspiration for launching the Creators Club. ⁠ ⁠ We designed Creators Club to be a creative Incubator & Accelerator for digital content creators who are on a mission to change the world. ✊⁠ ⁠ It is a true community, where you will receive all of the support, resources, how-to’s, and guidance to put your work out into the world. If part of your vision is to share your message via a: ⁠ ⁠ 📣 Podcast⁠ 📣 YouTube channel⁠ 📣 Community membership, and/or⁠ 📣 Online Course⁠ ⁠ Then I highly encourage you to go check out the Creators Club page, and submit your application. There are only 2 days left to apply!!⁠ ⁠ ✨LINK IN BIO @theinspiredbrand✨
Papapa…hoy día celebramos lo que hubieran sido Papapa…hoy día celebramos lo que hubieran sido tus 94 años de vida. Y que gran vida!! Tengo un orgullo tremendo de todo lo que lograste, a pesar de muchos retos y momentos difíciles, nunca dejaste que la vida te tumbe. Siempre saliste adelante con mucho coraje, optimismo, y sentido de humor. Gracias por la fuerza, y el corazón tan inmenso y noble que nos pasaste a todos tus hijos y nietos. Como me encantaba pasear por Lima con tigo, pasar el día en el Hipódromo visitando a los caballos, jugando tenis, y observando como te adoraban y respetaban todos. Don Alberto - tu memoria y tu legado viven en nuestros corazones siempre 💖 Feliz cumpleaños al cielo abuelo querido!!✨🙏✨
Well, our little Redwood City street cat made it t Well, our little Redwood City street cat made it to 19.🥳 Truly can’t believe it but feel incredibly grateful and blessed he recently pulled out another life and keeps gracing us with his quirky personality and most handsomest face. 😻 As most pet owners can understand, he goes by many names - “monkey” is one of my favorites 🙊 not sure where it started but as you can see, he’s this nimble at 19, imagine what he was like in his prime…there was no counter he wouldn’t climb and no food that was safe. He ate through a bag of sliced bread, avocados, and even a 12 oz steak once. 😠 Mr. Simba - Thank you for being our adorably annoying little monkey boy for pretty much our entire adult lives. We’ll keep spoiling you and soaking in your stinky old man kisses as long as you want to stick around…we love you Moosh Moosh! 😻🎂😼💖 🥳🐟 Long Live King Simba!! 👑 #happybirthday #cats #catsofinstagram #seniorcat #orangetabby #lettherebetunacake

My Mom is an American Woman now!! 🇺🇸💃🏻 My Mom is an American Woman now!! 🇺🇸💃🏻🙌🗽❤️ 41 years ago, my mom and dad immigrated to the US from Peru. Young, idealistic, and full of hope and courage to leave their families, friends, comfortable, happy lives and everything they’ve ever known to brave life in America…with two babies no less. There were countless challenges, people and memories missed in Peru, and many moments of questioning “what if”? But I’ll never forget when I interviewed my mom for a Women & Words class in college. I asked her why she hadn’t gone back when offered support to help raise us back in Peru. As a single immigrant mom - she struggled, and we struggled along with her. She answered simply that no matter how much privilege and how many resources we had in Peru - we would have more freedom, possibility, and options as women here in the US - and that she wanted her daughters to be able to be whoever and whatever they wanted to be in the world. Her words and the energy behind them were a gut check then, and continue to inspire and motivate me to live into them every day since. Today is a symbol of so many things, but for me I see it as a reminder of the promise that the United States was founded on, the values we are each responsible to uphold through our lives and our actions, and a validation for the struggle and sacrifice my mother and generations of immigrants have made in the pursuit of life, liberty and freedom. I also asked her back then whether she loves Peru or US more - and she answered “in every place there are things that are great and not so great. No place is perfect. You have to choose where your heart calls you.” Wiser words have never been spoken. I love you Mami 💖 Gracias Mami 🙏 Felicitaciones Mami!! 🙌💃🏻🗽 #uscitizenship #uscitizen #immigration #immigrant #freedom #immigrantstories #immigrantsmakeamericagreat 💪
Another gorgeous pre-sunset magic show on the Puge Another gorgeous pre-sunset magic show on the Puget Sound.🌤 Recently we’ve been treated to a few epic feeding frenzies - last time with bald eagles, seagulls and cormorants - this time the sea lions joined the show! We were out here for an hour and they just kept swimming back and forth, feeding, and playing…at one point two of them stopped to pose for us and show off their sexy moves 🦭🦭it was spectacular! Please excuse the dizzying camera work and nerdy narration - I was literally overwhelmed 🥺😍 Apparently these are California sea lions that have made their way up to our hood…so I’d like to think they followed me up here 😋So grateful and blessed to have this profound beauty and nature in my backyard…✨🙏✨🌊✨🌳✨🦅✨🦭✨ #pugetsound #kingstonwa #sealions #sealion #baldeagles #natureshow #sunset #pacificnorthwest #seattle #magic
