Today we’d like to introduce you to Verónica Cordonnier.
Hi Verónica, thanks for joining us today. We’d love for you to start by introducing yourself.
Here is my updated copy: My name is Verónica and I am a general life coach with a focus on feminist mindset practice and Human Design. That essentially means that I take an intersectional feminist lens when it comes to helping my clients who tend to embrace an intersectional identities. I myself am an immigrant brought to North Texas as a baby by my parents from Chile. My parents and brother are musicians and I was raised in the arts of Chilean folk dancing and pretty much all of Latin-American music. I became the visual artist of my family once I reached high school as well as a fierce advocate of human rights and a loud and proud feminist. I got my degree in communication design in Portland, Oregon. After college, I moved back to north Texas and joined the service industry. I dabbled in writing, directing, and producing short films with coworkers but sort of left the arts behind for a few years. I’ve been a longtime activist and more recently a field organizer, podcaster, and now student of Human Design. Personally I enjoy trying new restaurants and going to new places, going out dancing with friends, and engaging in personal spiritual practices like writing, exploring tarot and oracle cards, and doing rituals with friends that make us feel connected and lit up inside. I also love watching movies, shows by BIPOC creators, youtube, and catching up with food, home renovation, and design shows as much as possible. 2020 was a reckoning year for all of us and for me it brought me to coaching after being laid off from my job, joining a wonderful feminist coaching community (Kara Loewentheil’s The Clutch), and desiring to ramp-up the creative ways in which I incorporate anti-racist work into my actual work. This is how I came up with my podcast, The BiConscious Badass, and then later started my coaching company, BiConscious Coaching Company.
Absolutely not. I had stomach ulcers from stress and struggled with drug use in high school. I was exposed to sensitive sexual content at a young age and a deep culture of misogyny surrounded me as a young girl in the form of older kids I was left with while my parents worked. This definitely didn’t help my teenage self as I felt like enough of an outsider as it was. I struggled with weight gain, and unhealthy weight loss, and overall body image issues. As an adult, I have discovered a lot of gastrointestinal issues that were never addressed in my youth. I wasn’t raised going to a doctor or dentist regularly. When you’re a poor immigrant you really only seek medical attention when things get really bad. In my twenties, I really felt like I had no direction or intention in life and I was lucky that I kept myself busy working and learning from my surroundings. I really didn’t believe in myself or my ability to reach an ideal life with the knowledge and skills I had already accumulated. It wasn’t until a canvassing job that someone saw potential in me, told me that, and encouraged me to apply for a promotion. After that, a lot of imposter syndrome set in, and I became acquainted with life coaching which helped me immensely with that. Once I decided to start my own business that is when I really started bringing up all of my deeper thoughts of unworthiness and fear of vulnerability. That’s pretty much the obstacles I’ve been working through for the last two years now, the thoughts that my own brain comes up with to sabotage me. This is why I do this work, so I can use my knowledge coping with my own obstacles to help others deal with theirs.
I’m a feminist mindset general life coach. I see this as a creative pursuit because it requires all of the creative parts of my brain to do this job. I specialize in self-acceptance work for overachievers and perfectionists. I am most proud of who I am becoming on my journey to becoming a six-figure business owner. I am becoming truer to myself which is inspiring my audience to be truer to themselves and therefore we are influencing and changing the world with our stories and our endeavors. What sets me apart is that I am neurodiverse, an excitable manifesting generator (human design) that wants to do it all while still remembering to take things slow, get enough rest, and enjoy exactly where I am at right now.
I offer free Human Design readings (30 minutes) and free 1-on-1 coaching consultations (1 hour)
I have a Facebook group called BiConscious Mind Exploration and Coaching that is a free resource for folks who are drawn to this work as well.
