Could you briefly introduce yourself in less than 100 words?
My name is Mariel Ynoa. I am 26 years old, born and raised in the Dominican Republic. I am a self-love coach, spiritual healer, art therapist, and model. My journey has been one of self-discovery and healing, and I am now focused on helping others tap into their inner power and overcome challenges in their lives.
Before you became the business titan you are today, enlighten us about the thrilling adventures of your pre-business life.
My first business was a modeling academy in New York City. However, my life took unexpected turns when I struggled with mental health challenges. This journey led me to focus on healing and self-discovery. In the process, I realized my true purpose and founded Rebirth Empowerment, a platform dedicated to helping others heal from trauma and negative life experiences. I am also working on writing my own book, which will be published next year. Through Rebirth Empowerment, I aim to help people heal their inner child, improve relationships, and ultimately create a better future for themselves and the world.
Could you elaborate on the nature of your initiative/business/current role, highlighting its purpose and the ways it benefits people?
Rebirth Empowerment was born from my personal experiences, which taught me that healing is essential for inner peace, love, and unity. The process of rebirthing oneself involves healing past traumas, overcoming emptiness, and turning these challenges into personal power. My platform is designed to help people become aware of the patterns in their lives that may be holding them back, such as struggles in relationships or self-doubt. It is a space for anyone who wishes to find their inner strength and create the life they desire.
What has been the response of the users/consumers towards your venture?
I am currently helping six women overcome depression by offering a free healing space. They have shared similar stories of struggles, beliefs, and traumas, and through this platform, they’ve been able to make significant improvements in their lives. According to them, this space has allowed them to identify and heal the areas of their lives where they were stuck, leading them to become better versions of themselves. Though it may not seem like a big achievement, this has been the most fulfilling accomplishment of my life. Witnessing these women transform and change their perspectives on life fills my soul with happiness.
Having a strong support system is essential for your well-being. We would love to know who your biggest supporter is.
My biggest support system is my boyfriend. He believes in me and helps me become the woman I aspire to be. There are times when I doubt myself, and he is always there to remind me of my strength and power. Even though we may have a platform that will impact thousands, we all need support on days when we feel inadequate or down. I am grateful to have found a person who supports and uplifts me in every way, especially after years of struggling to have a healthy relationship.
As a woman entrepreneur, what changes do you hope to see in the world and what opportunities are you seeking?
My biggest hope is for future generations to live in a society filled with peace, love, unity, and awareness. I believe that every individual must take responsibility for their own healing in order to contribute to a better world. While I know I can’t change the entire world, I am confident that I can change one person’s life, and that’s enough to make a positive impact. I am seeking platforms where I can speak about healing, awakening inner power, and becoming the best version of oneself. My ultimate goal is to be the voice of a positive world.
Women now stand shoulder-to-shoulder with men in the workplace, breaking through glass ceilings to reach the top. What are your thoughts on women’s leadership today?
In today’s society, the roles of women are diminishing as the focus on power and money increases. This has led to many women fighting against their own nature to achieve success in the workplace. Women were created to nurture, love, and bring life to the world. The modern world has created an illusion that makes us lose our essence. Today, women often compete against each other for positions in the workplace, but I believe women should unite for the greater good. Our role is not to overpower men but to create a balanced world through love and support. Women can be powerful leaders in many areas, but we must embrace our natural essence to truly thrive.
