Luz María Doria Opens Her Life In A Pleasant Interview With Mar Saura, And Reveals How She Eliminated Her Fears To Become A Force In The Media In The Us.
The renowned author and producer of the Univision program, Despierta América, Luz María Doria, considered one of the “powerful” Latinas who break barriers in the media within the entertainment industry, spoke of her experiences from the perspective of women and how she came to become a successful professional overcoming her fears and living today.
During an entertaining interview with the Spanish actress, model and presenter Mar Saura, as part of her Instagram Live series: “Vivir es Increíble” by GNP Seguros, Doria revealed how during her childhood she was a very beloved but overprotected child, which generated fears.
“This is a wake-up call for all parents… because I was a very dear child but too protected,” said the author when recalling how that generated insecurity and fear, which she describes as “the envious metiche of your life” and that was her main enemy.
“I was getting on a plane and I was convinced that I was not going to land, I did not want to give ideas because I was afraid that they were going to criticize me and so I invented sad endings,” said the Colombian journalist graduated in communication from Barry University in Miami Shores, during the conversation with Saura.
“That was what kept me handcuffed, not daring, because I knew how to do many things, but I didn’t have the courage,” added Doria, who little by little managed to overcome her fears and got her first job at Cristina la Revista at age 21 and 4 years later she was already the director of it.
He pointed out that his main brake was in the mind, but that through discipline and nourishing it with good books and nourishing the soul, it can evolve. “In those moments that you think you are not going to achieve, that beautiful voice will tell you, maybe you will not achieve it today but tomorrow yes,” said the author of four books: “The woman of my dreams”, “Your stellar moment”, “The art of not staying with the desire” and “The Woman of my dreams, 100 ideas of gratitude and overcoming”. The most recent, is a summary of the other three and has tips to help readers overcome their fears and achieve their goals.
“It’s funny I’ve always been successful in my career because I’ve been a hard worker, but I could actually give more today and I’m giving more than I was 20 years ago… I do more things and I feel happier,” he said, noting that happiness is in enjoying today, away from family stereotypes.
“We were taught that you have to be a good mom, a good wife, a good lover, a good worker and you got tired before you started… so when you’re with your kids now you have to be the best mom and when you’re working the best professional and when you’re enjoying yourself you don’t have to feel guilty and move on,” Doria advised.
Undoubtedly a successful woman, at 56 years old, the author indicated that success for her is in doing what one wants and makes her happy. “Success for me is being able to write… every day being a television producer is making things happen and I’m the leader of a group that brings hope to America,” she said.
