What happens when you start leading with your whole self?
In this episode, Fé María Vásquez—filmmaker, fine artist, and founder of Fé Vásquez Fine Art—shares her journey from Caracas to Hawai‘i, and what it meant to rebuild her career, identity, and sense of self from the ground up. She reflects on navigating a male-dominated industry as a woman and an immigrant, and how she taught others to respect her by respecting herself first.
Fé dives into motherhood, divorce, and the vulnerability of art-making. She shares the emotional reality of letting her teenage son move across the world to pursue his dream—and how that mirrored her own early decision to pursue film despite being told she’d “starve as an artist.”
We talk about leadership, emotional intelligence, and why personal development isn’t a luxury—it’s a responsibility. Fé’s story is a reminder that your identity isn’t a limitation. It’s your power.
