About Miryam Valdrom

My Story

I’m the eldest daughter of hardworking Peruvian immigrants — a first-generation Latina who learned leadership early.
As a teenager navigating two cultures, I became the translator, the fixer, the problem-solver. That sense of responsibility built my resilience, but it also trained me to believe that strength meant silence and sacrifice.

Like many of us raised on marianismo — the “good girl” conditioning — I was taught to work hard, stay humble, and not make waves.
So, I learned to adapt.
I shed my accent, softened my edges, and played the part to “fit in.”

But keeping the peace outside only created a war within.

My body broke before my spirit did — panic attacks, perfectionism, people-pleasing, hyper-independence.
For years, I was chasing “good enough,” overworking to prove what was already true: my worth.

That’s when the revolution began.

My Liberation

I started unlearning the lies that told me leadership had to look a certain way, that power meant pushing harder, that success meant sacrifice.
Through the work of emotional mastery, cultural healing, and identity reclamation, I redefined what leadership could be.

It became clear that our liberation is collective.
We can’t create inclusive or psychologically safe spaces for others until we create them within ourselves.
Our healing becomes the blueprint for how the next generation leads.

That’s why I founded Valdrom Coaching & Consulting — to help Latinas and women of color lead with strategy, self-trust, and liberation.

My Work

I’ve spent over a decade across healthcare, higher education, nonprofits, and the U.S. military, witnessing both the brilliance of women of color and the systems that limit them.
Now, I help high-achieving women recalibrate how they lead — building structure, clarity, and emotional intelligence that expands both their impact and their income.

Through my signature program, The Liberated Pionera™, I guide women to:

• Lead with clarity and calm, not chaos.

• Build systems that protect their time and peace.

• Expand their influence and income without overextending themselves.

• Redefine leadership to include joy, rest, and wholeness.

Because strength shouldn’t come at the cost of self.

My Mission

To liberate strong women — helping high-achieving Latinas and women of color step out of survival mode and into sustainable leadership.
To create a ripple effect of psychological safety, inclusion, and belonging in the workplaces, communities, and families we lead.
To model what’s possible when a woman leads from her essence, not her exhaustion.

Let’s Work Together

Imagine showing up fully as yourself — calm, confident, and unapologetically powerful
AND still getting the bag, the promotion, the partnership, and the peace.

That’s what it means to lead liberated.
