Unmute Yourself
This podcast is about lifting the curtain on leadership, purpose, and the real stories behind people who dared to do things differently. We’ll talk about how they found their path, the struggles they faced, and how they built something that truly matters. These are everyday people doing extraordinary things, and I want you to know, you are capable of that too.

Season 3 EP3: From Grief to Growth – Soledad Mateo-Summer
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Sometimes clarity doesn’t come in noise.
It comes in silence.
In this Season 3 episode of Unmute Yourself, I speak with Soledad Mateo-Summer a talent acquisition leader, veteran advocate, and now visionary behind La Soledad, a retreat inspired by a life-altering moment under the stars in Big Bend National Park.
After the passing of her mother, Soledad realized something profound: she knew how to build careers, institutions, and opportunities for others — but hadn’t fully claimed her own dream.
So she chose courage.
She chose solitude.
She chose to build.
In this conversation, we explore:
- The cost and freedom of authenticity
- Reclaiming your original self
- Letting go of external approval
- Leadership that reflects who you truly are
This episode is for leaders navigating reinvention, grief, or a quiet restlessness that won’t go away.
