Meet Isela Arredondo | Author

We had the good fortune of connecting with Isela Arredondo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Isela, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
My bounce back ability is equally valuable as my propel forward ability. These help me understand that the current place i find myself in, is not where I can end up if I don’t give up every time I miss the mark or fail, and I don’t give in and get comfortable every time I take a step forward. For both giving up and complacency are a lack of movement. Watching your movement is important for it means life to your work and efforts, lack of movement means the opposite.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
The art of dealing with life’s challenges and presenting them in a different Format to be able to provide hope, comfort to all but particularly to the children who may be facing difficult times. In hopes to be a source of strength and courage for them. I am honored to have had the opportunity to share this opportunity with all of you.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
