In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Toni Viva Muñoz—award-winning author, Ph.D. scholar, and founder of Model Behaviors, a nonprofit empowering women and children. Toni’s story begins at 16, when she moved to New York to pursue modeling, eventually working with top designers like Oscar de la Renta and Chanel.
From runways to research, Toni shares how her winding path led to a life rooted in purpose—blending art, academia, community service, and motherhood. We talk about recognizing when it’s time to pivot, allowing ourselves to outgrow old dreams to make space for new ones, and why you don’t have to do it all in one day to do it well.
We also touch on her debut children’s book, El Bowie Bakery, inspired by her family’s roots and her love for the U.S.-Mexico border.
This conversation is a powerful invitation to honor every version of yourself—and keep going, even when the path isn’t straight.
