Andrea Navedo didn\u2019t get to see many positive portrayals of Latinas in the media growing up. So when she had the chance to play a starring role on Jane the Virgin, a role that cast her as a complex, flawed, and genuine Latina single mother, she jumped all over the opportunity. Now she focuses on making the most of her ability to influence and inspire others who grew up the same way she did. \nOn this episode of Women of Impact with Lisa Bilyeu, Andrea Navedo tells her story of surviving abusive relationships, dealing with endless rejection, and eventually triumphing in the entertainment industry. She also talks about how to listen compassionately to your own internal dialogue, discusses why fame and validation did not make her feel better about herself, and explains why she never plays the victim. \n[Original air date: 3/26/20].\n\nSHOW NOTES: \nAndrea and Lisa discuss the pressure to fit in and reject your own culture [3:51] \nAndrea explains why she needed to see positive role models on TV as a youth [6:59] \nAndrea used to believe that being an actress was a very selfish career [10:39] \nAndrea talks about being in an abusive relationship and why she eventually left [13:31] \nHow to listen to the internal family dialogue in your own mind [17:28]\nThere is an essential part of you that is pure and doesn\u2019t need fixing [20:21] \nAndrea talks about her first acting gig on a soap opera [24:15] \nAndrea explains why she needed to take a temporary break from acting [30:09] \nAndrea feels she has a responsibility to inspire people who are similar to her [36:33] \nThe curated, money-driven images you see of celebrities are pretty much BS [39:20] \nFame, money and validation did not help Andrea feel better about herself [41:00] \nWhy you should not numb out the emotions that you feel [44:10] \nIt doesn\u2019t matter what other people say about you.
