Empowered Human Academy

Annalisa Munoz Funk is both a talented brand consultant and a dear friend. As a business visionary blazing trails in predominantly white and male-driven spaces, she’s a force in helping foster conversations centering diversity and inclusion. After taking time to sift through fear and listen to her soul, she wrote her dream job into existence. She didn’t simply wait for the doors to open—rather, she built the door and walked through it herself.

In this conversation we discuss moving through fear, turning around to help the people coming up behind you, and how a letter she wrote to herself completely shifted her career trajectory. Annalisa is a compelling example that you can want it all and still actively fight for the best of everyone else, too—because there’s room for everyone if we keep building bigger tables.

What is Empowered Human Academy?

We believe that we’re all meant to live our most expansive lives possible—but it can be overwhelming knowing where to begin, and feeling stuck is real. Empowered Human Academy exists to unlock your imagination with real conversations with inspiring humans of all different kinds, sharing the wisdom they've gained in their respective fields. Throughout these episodes we’ll explore holistic wellness, activism, self-discovery, emotional intelligence, and more. We’ve gathered some of the most heart-forward humans we know all in one place—and we can’t wait for you to meet them. The truth is, we find ourselves in each other’s stories—and learning is ultimately just remembering what we already know. We hope you’ll join us and become the empowered human you’ve always been inside.
