Carmen Ruiz de Huidobro is the Founder of ESPAÑOLITA, a platform that highlights all things great about Spanish culture, food and artisans. Whether its ESPAÑOLITA’s curated trips to Majorca, her Spanish inspired dinner series or sharing products and stories of native artisans, Carmen is committed to making sure you fall in love with her home country.
In this episode, Carmen shares how her entrepreneurial journey was birthed out of passion. Her Spanish heritage has been a source of inspiration. From being a Production Assistant and art directing films to interior design and running a catering and floral business, the through line has always been her Spanish roots.
Carmen urges to “be yourself!” She challenges us to find our authentic voice and not get sucked into what’s “of-the-moment”--especially in social media. She encourages anyone who has an idea to just start! “Do it and allow yourself to be open to learn, pivot and create the space and business that’s right for you.”

Pursuing your future doesn’t end at 40, in fact, it may mark the beginning of knowing who you are, what you’re capable of and what you really want. But knowing what’s next and how to get there can be a challenge—especially when old narratives play on repeat. I’ve come to believe that the best way to understand your possibilities is in hearing from others—what they have done and how they have done it.
LIBERTY ROAD is here to share stories so that you can consider your possibilities, pursue your purpose and move into your future with intention.
