Guiding Women to Financial Mastery Through the Power of Self-Relationship
Cynthia Alejandra Guzman’s journey is a testament to resilience and self-determination. Migrating from Mexico to the United States at the age of 14, she arrived with her mother, brothers, and just two suitcases. Overnight, her life transformed as she took on the role of provider, learning the language and adapting to a new culture. At 20, Cynthia became a mother to her daughter, Alexis, expanding her vision and drive. Unconventionally, she navigated her way into corporate America’s IT sector, landing a role without formal qualifications—a position she secured through sheer presence and authenticity.
With an intuitive knack for relationships and a fierce determination, Cynthia left the corporate world to build a seven-figure business, creating opportunities for her family and balancing entrepreneurship with motherhood. Recently, her four-year-old son was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), further expanding her vision and deepening her commitment to leadership, both in business and as an advocate for her son’s needs.
Cynthia’s journey reflects her passion and tenacity. She is a dynamic leader who embraces her Latin roots, breaking conventional norms to build a life of purpose and success. Whether she’s guiding executive women to master their finances or championing her family’s well being, Cynthia embodies what it means to lead with heart, authenticity, and unyielding strength.
What inspired your journey into personal development?
My journey truly began at 22 when I made the conscious decision to become a single mom. My daughter was just two years old, and I was breaking away from a culture that dictated I should marry the father of my child. That path didn’t work for my parents, and I knew it wouldn’t work for me. I trusted myself to handle it and refused to be bound by societal expectations. I embraced the mantra: *If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me*, and threw myself into my corporate career, believing that the more money I earned, the more time I could eventually buy back to spend with my daughter.
But life had other plans. One day, I was laid off. I walked into my home in the middle of the afternoon, feeling utterly defeated. My daughter looked at me as if I were a stranger—a ghost. The disconnect between us was heartbreaking because I was living the very reality I had vowed to avoid. I hit rock bottom and knew that if I didn’t change, I would lose my daughter to anything or anyone that gave her the attention she craved.
A friend handed me a CD, saying, “Listen to this, and then we’ll go from there.” It was a woman’s story of building her millions, and it felt like she was speaking directly to me. That moment sparked my personal development journey, transforming my life and perspective. I’ve since coached women in both corporate and entrepreneurial spaces, focusing on high-achieving individuals who are ready to heal the parts of themselves that feel too heavy to carry alone. My message is for the powerful women generating six or seven figures who are ready to break free from their limitations and embrace their full potential.
Who is the ideal client you are destined to serve?
I attract women that want to heal their relationship with the word “hustler” — high-achieving, high-power, some even call them the alpha women. Women who are overachievers, hyper-independent and make bold moves in their lives, but are ready to embrace softness in a more genuine version of themselves.
What has been the catalyst to your growth?
My catalyst and my biggest lessons have come through relationships. I’ve learned that what you neglect in your personal life inevitably spills over into your business. Financial challenges—or the absence of them—often become the wake-up call for hyper-independent, high-achieving women. Many identify as powerhouses, go-getters, and high earners, but beneath the surface, they carry unspoken and deeply felt wounds.
For me, this manifested in my relationships, revealing a chronic sense of loneliness, bitterness, resentment, and heartache. I realized I was demanding my business to fill these voids, which it never could. I had to confront what was happening within me. I see this pattern repeatedly with high-power women who have poured everything into their businesses to mask or heal their loneliness, rejection, or unresolved past pain. When the business fails to cure these deep-seated issues, they reach a breaking point and consider abandoning everything they’ve built. They think, “Screw this, I’m done!” and want to run away. But turning away from their business in frustration isn’t the solution.
Money only magnifies what’s already inside us. The most transformative change I made was learning to live and build from a place of love and self-acceptance, ensuring that I am okay. This is the foundation of my practice: guiding women—especially those who are “hustlers” with hyper-independent tendencies—to heal and thrive from a space of authenticity and love, not from a need to prove themselves. When they do, they show up as their genuine, powerful, and thriving selves, building lives and businesses that truly align with who they are.
What is the deep work that you are activating in women today?
My practice is centered around three transformative pillars that catalyze profound change in your life: establishing a grounded identity, mastering emotional intelligence, and cultivating leadership from a place of love. I offer three ways to engage with my work, with investment options ranging from $47 to $40,000.
For those just stepping into my world, I provide mini-courses and occasionally host mini-masterminds, like my *Magnetic Influence of a High Power Woman* series, designed to empower and inspire. My micro-courses, such as *Equilibrium*, guide you in harmonizing your personal and professional life.
For those ready to go deeper, I offer more intensive programs. *The Shedding* delves into your core identity, helping you release outdated self-concepts and embrace your authentic self. Then there’s *Rock Solid*, where we lay the foundational groundwork, preparing the fertile soil of your life to plant and nurture the seeds of your highest aspirations.
For high-achieving women earning over $250,000, I host the exclusive mastermind, *The High Power Woman Vessel*. This is a space for those operating at a different level, with unique needs and a desire for more. Here, we engage in powerful sisterhood healing, address the sisterhood wound, and elevate our leadership. This is where true transformation happens, as we mastermind your purpose and vision together. In addition to two one-on-one sessions each month, you gain access to all eight of my core programs, designed to support your journey. Between our sessions, you have full access to my Kajabi suite, allowing you to continue strengthening the areas most relevant to your growth. This is where powerhouse women come to be lovingly called out, held accountable, and step fully into their greatness.
What has been the biggest shift that allowed you to step into this version of yourself?
If you want to create something extraordinary, you have to be willing to confront what I call “the ugly.” For example, I am currently going through a divorce with my co-founder of our seven-figure business. I chose to love with eyes wide open, to see him for who he truly is and who he isn’t—not for who I wished him to be. The highest form of love is to accept people as they are. A past version of me would have turned a blind eye to preserve the family and the business, but what good is it to force someone to be something they’re not?
Loving with eyes wide open means embracing radical responsibility. It’s not about closing your heart or becoming bitter; it’s about choosing to love wisely and intentionally. Build your life, business, family, and relationships from a place of love—while staying fully aware. You are only responsible for yourself, and that’s the principle I encourage the women in my space to embody.
This means not shying away from your greatness and also being brave enough to uncover the hidden layers of your business, your relationships, and even your own soul. Don’t be afraid to examine the dynamics with those around you—including the person you’re married to or the one you’re sharing your bed with.
By healing myself and my motives, I became strong enough to confront the reality that didn’t align with my expectations. I can now love him authentically, while recognizing that we need to grow separately. When filling out divorce papers, I was asked what my goal for the divorce was. We’re conditioned to believe that divorces must be petty, with a villain in every story. But why should it be that way?
Women often hesitate to face the truth, fearing it might shatter their world. Yet, everything you desire lies on the other side of fear. We crave honesty, but we also want to hold on to illusions. It’s time to break that cycle. In business, we’re quick to pivot when something isn’t working. Why don’t we apply the same straightforward approach to our relationships? It’s time to stop pretending and start living with radical love and clarity.
Why do you think women tend to play the hero and save people when it comes to relationships?
Women are natural nurturers, inherently designed to create and sustain life. We embody the essence of creation itself. High-achieving women often spend their days navigating demanding careers, and by the end of it, they’re exhausted—mentally, physically, and emotionally. They avoid confronting the uncomfortable truths in their relationships because they’re already overwhelmed. Instead of addressing what’s weighing them down emotionally, they choose to disengage, delaying decisions that could bring them true peace and alignment.
I am deeply passionate about mentoring and coaching these powerful women because beneath their driven exteriors, they are the most loving, tender, and magnetic beings. Men are drawn to this feminine energy, and it flourishes when a woman embraces her true identity, elevates her emotional intelligence, and learns to lead herself with grace both in the boardroom and in the bedroom.
It’s about knowing when to be the powerhouse and when to soften, allowing yourself to be vulnerable and receptive. You can dominate the boardroom with confidence, but if you bring that same energy into your intimate relationships, the results won’t be as fulfilling. It’s essential to know when to switch gears, to be both powerful and gentle. This duality is what makes high-achieving women truly captivating.
My message to high-powered women is to let go of the rigid, domineering persona—what I humorously call the “corporate armor”—that they’ve adopted to navigate their professional lives. Instead, embrace your feminine strength, lead with love and authenticity, and watch how it transforms every aspect of your life.
What advice would you give to your younger self?
I knew the younger version of myself wasn’t equipped to get me where I wanted to be. That version would have taken me to the deep end if I didn’t bridge the gap between where I was and where I needed to go. To close that gap, I had to be unconventional. Money was an obstacle. Education was an obstacle. Even my gender was an obstacle. I had every reason not to push forward—but that’s exactly why I chose not to let those things hold me back.
I’ve invested over $200,000 in mentorship throughout my life, hiring the best coaches I could find. To this day, I put myself in rooms with people who are headed where I’m going—or who are already there. My advice to anyone in a similar position: if you see someone who has what you want, hire them and align yourself with them as quickly as possible. Don’t be afraid to leverage other people’s money—get a credit card, take out a loan, do whatever it takes to invest in yourself. Your investment in yourself is the only guaranteed path to a better return.
Let’s MANIFEST Cynthia. What are you actively calling in now?
I’m manifesting a peaceful, empowering divorce and a cross-country move to provide my son with the best possible support, school, and environment so he can live an extraordinary life. I’m manifesting the continued growth of my seven-figure business and using those skills to create a full-spectrum practice that amplifies the leadership I want to see in the world. My mission is to empower women to embrace healed, authentic leadership and to build a legacy that goes beyond success—it’s about true impact and transformation.
I’m manifesting the most incredible dream clients—those who are ready to dive deep and embrace these transformative conversations. Whether it’s creating the love of a lifetime or navigating a conscious, loving divorce, stepping out of the corporate world to build your own empire, or scaling from six to seven figures, I’m calling in people who are fearless and committed to their evolution.
How do you step forward into an abundance mindset on a daily basis?
I’m intentionally connected to high-level masterminds because I want to be held accountable to my own greatness. It’s easy to be blinded by your own BS, and I refuse to let that happen. My ritual is to stay plugged into these circles, to dive deep, celebrate my wins, uplift my girls, and use their successes as proof of what’s possible. This is why I created The High Power Woman Vessel—a space for high-achieving women to be unapologetically themselves. We talk business, relationships, parenting, and manifesting our wildest dreams. It’s a place where we hold each other to the highest standard, and where vulnerability is strength.
People think I’m crazy when I say I’m manifesting a peaceful, loving divorce. They don’t get it—and that’s okay. I know I have the power to create magic in my life, in every situation, and I’m here to be evidence of what’s possible. You have that power, too. Sometimes, you have to be the trailblazer, the one who shows what’s possible when you dare to choose your own path and create your own reality.
“There’s somebody already living the evidence you want. I will say that’s another one. Be the evidence of what you want to see in the world. Be the leader you want to see in the world.”
What or who is the support system that allows you to surrender and trust?
I absolutely believe in God, in the Universe, in Source—all of it. People resonate with different names, but for me, it’s God/Universe. I’ve always had this deep intuitive sense, almost like I can see things unfolding from a mile away. People often say, “You’re a witch! How did you know that would happen?” And I just laugh because it’s not about magic or mystery. It’s just a knowing—a connection to something greater. I can’t always explain it, but I trust it completely. I’m here to share that insight because I care. When I say, “I love you, and this is going to happen,” it’s not a prediction—it’s just the truth I see so clearly.
Did you always trust that gut feeling, that intuition?
It’s definitely been a journey of hit and miss, especially in my younger years. Growing up, I felt this pressure to validate my worth through my external achievements just to fit in. I was taught that success would be the glue to hold my family together—but it didn’t work out that way. If we had more time, and I shared the full story, you’d probably be able to piece it all together with me. But I’m already rewriting that narrative and creating my own version of success.
What did you have to remove to step into this version of you?
I created this identity of the high achiever, the strong, independent woman—the one everyone could rely on. But it built up so much resentment because I was completely out of alignment with who I was meant to be. That doesn’t take away from my ability to generate wealth—I’ve done it, and I love it. I love business. I’m not your conventional woman. I’m all for women harnessing their gifts for success, for money, for business. But deep down, I craved something more. I longed for connection, for a family, for love. I wanted to nurture, to serve a warm meal to my family and the love of my life. I wanted to be loved and to give love fully.
I went through that season where I believed I couldn’t count on anyone. I didn’t trust people, especially women. If my own parents couldn’t provide it, no one would. I thought I had to do everything myself. It left me burnt out, exhausted, and alone. I clung to my career, thinking it would save me, but when it didn’t, I wanted to burn it all to the ground. I hated it. It became like a needy girlfriend, demanding all my time and energy, even on weekends. I was done. That’s when I realized something had to change—because my daughter was feeling it. She was absorbing my exhaustion and my anger. I didn’t want her to think this was what success looked like. I didn’t want her to follow in my footsteps only to end up hurt.
So, I got my act together real quick. I dove into personal development and decided, “We’re changing this.” And just when women’s empowerment was becoming a movement, I was feeling more burdened than empowered. That’s when I realized: something was broken, and I needed to heal. I started working through my resentment, finding compassion for why people do what they do. That’s when the phrase “loving with eyes wide open” came to me.
To me, the highest form of love is loving someone for who they are, who they choose to be, and how they show up. You can encourage people in a certain direction, but if you’re stuck in convincing energy, you’re out of alignment. I knew I wanted real, genuine, authentic love. I understood that to attract what was genuine, I had to be authentic myself.
Looking back, I’m such a different person now. They say you become the person you needed—and I did. I became that strong, powerful woman who also learned to soften into her feminine energy, finding that beautiful balance. Now, I’m living as the woman I was always meant to be.
Do you believe in the yin and yang, masculine and feminine energies?
Absolutely. There has to be balance. Everyone has both masculine and feminine energies. You can’t just shut down one side and live fully in the other—it doesn’t work that way. I was born to be a leader, but society tries to put us in boxes based on gender, background, or whatever else. And I’m like, no—I’m going to show up as *me*. I get to define who I am and what I create.
Embracing my femininity is powerful, and so is leaning into my masculine energy when it’s needed. It’s all about finding harmony. That realization hit me after my surgery, when I had this incredible vision of a black and a white lion. It was a calling to step into my true power, to embody both energies fully. It was profound and stayed with me, reminding me that real power comes from embracing all aspects of yourself, unapologetically.
What is your magical formula for living a harmonious life?
It all starts with aligning the mind and the heart. I give myself the time to grind—I show up with passion and dedication, like a soccer mom on fire in the field. But when it’s time to connect with my feminine side, to go inward, I honor that fully. I plan ahead because I know myself. I believe in having accountability around me, but also in taking radical accountability for myself. I schedule it in. I’m constantly checking in on my well-being: How am I feeling emotionally? Physically? I do the work—I work out, I meal prep, I have a health coach, a mindset coach, and a business strategist. I surround myself with people who hold me to my highest self. Even just connecting with them is healing.
“If it’s meant to be, it’s up to me.”
Working with my clients is the most beautiful experience. During our sessions, there’s this incredible exchange of energy where we heal together. It’s not just for us—it’s for the collective. It’s almost spiritually orgasmic. When a sisterhood heals together, when we come together as a community of empowered women, it shifts the entire energy. I love working with people, with women, with my team in my seven-figure business. But I also give myself the space to be with myself, to be still, to listen to God/Source through meditation.
One of the biggest keys to my success has been hiring support. Let me be clear: you can’t do this alone. The idea that you can build a six- or seven-figure business by yourself is the biggest myth out there. Kingdoms weren’t built alone, and you shouldn’t try to build yours that way either. We need support. Hire the nanny. Hire the cleaning lady. Hire the photographer, the videographer, the mentor who’s going to guide you to your next level. My high-power women, my independent ladies—you don’t have to carry it all. Trying to do it alone leads to burnout, resentment, and exhaustion, and it doesn’t have to be that way.
A lot of this is driven by fear—“What if I don’t make the money back?” “What if I’m spending too much?” But those are just limiting beliefs. Take care of yourself, girl. It all starts with having the right support. Define what you need and ask for it. Your partner, your family, your friends—they want to support you. And if they don’t, hire the people who will. Every person who has helped me get to where I am, I’ve invested in them. And in those spaces, I’ve found my closest friends—the women who see the vision I have, and then some.
How do you find inner balance in the midst of chaos?
Knowing yourself is the cornerstone of living an intentional life. We’re so quick to call out other people’s BS, but when it comes to our own, we turn a blind eye. That’s why it’s crucial to surround yourself with people who hold you accountable—people who give you honest feedback out of love. Not to beat you down, but to lift you up. Are you getting that kind of feedback from those around you? This is why it’s so important to take a hard look at your circle.
For me, knowing myself means knowing what I want and holding myself accountable to that vision. I have a vision board that lays out everything I desire—the dream house, the fit body, the loving relationship, deep connection with my kids, travel, all of it. But to manifest that, I have to become the person who can live that life. That means showing up as her every day.
If something is important enough to me, it goes on the calendar. I talk about it with my friends, I share my goals with people who support my dreams. This is key. I plan my week ahead so nothing catches me off guard. My son has allergies to everything under the sun, so I plan meals, activities, everything. I get the support I need to make it all work.
Also, I’m not afraid to take time for myself. If I need a mental health day, I shut down my computer, let everyone know I’m off, and I do what I need to do—whether it’s getting a massage, getting my nails done, watching a movie solo, whatever it takes. Because if I’m not good, my family feels that energy. Taking care of myself is taking care of them. So, own your schedule, own your life, and become the person who can create the reality you envision. That’s how you make it happen.
I want to tell the high-achieving woman, you don’t have to do this alone. You were put here with a greater purpose. Those desires in your heart are not here to torture you, they’re here to birth the new dreams of the world. You don’t have to do it alone. I am here to guide you and coach you and mentor you and walk with you through the depths and the highs. I would love to connect with you.
