Today we’d like to introduce you to Katrina Maldonado.
Hi Katrina, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today.
This is a hard one. I would say it all started when I was a child. I went through a lot mentally as well as a teenager to an adult. I could have ended up in jail or dead. That is another story I can explain. But then I had my daughter and realized this is not the life I want; I wanted to be someone. I have so much knowledge. I want to spread awareness of things I didn’t understand when I was younger and now as an adult. I wish I had a mentor, someone who could help me understand what was going on with me that I couldn’t grasp mentally. I wanted to be someone who inspires people who will help love themselves, who people can listen to and change their life and hopefully save someone one day. That’s why I recently started a podcast to talk about difficulties in life. However, I want to let people know I was so insecure about my body and how I looked. I was scared to talk to people; I was scared about what others would think because of what I went through in the past. I was stuck in my shell, but I finally learned to love myself. Who would think I would become an influencer? I was scared to do it for years, but this was always a dream of mine. I never gave up on myself. That’s what made me who I am today as an influencer, and I will continue this and build my way up.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not, what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Nope. It has not been smooth at all. I got ugly comments. I got people writing me things that would honestly make me feel a certain way to where I stopped posting for a while. I hadn’t been getting views No Followers for years. I wanted to give up. I didn’t believe in myself to the point I stopped everything for years, and one day; I told myself I was going to keep posting. I don’t care what anyone says. I don’t care what people think and learned people will always have an opinion about things and disagree with things and just like to be mean altogether, but I told myself not to give up and have been pushing and keep doing what I am doing. I will find my people and continue to grow up posting.
Thanks – so, what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I’m an influencer. I talk about relationships and life issues. I am proud how far I have gotten in my life, and this is 1 thing I’ve never gave up on one thing I’ve always wanted. I would say I set myself from others because I want to spread knowledge on real-life things that I struggled with. Life is not easy, and I hope I actually help someone. I don’t do this for views; I do this to help people
Is there something surprising that you feel even people who know you might not know about?
Something surprising people don’t know is that I was the shyest, the most insecure person you would ever come across. I LEARNED TO LOVE MYSELF, something I truly stand by.
