Reset, Reconnect, and Refocus: A Jefa's Journey

Jul 29

Written By Cafecito Con Jefas by Kita Zuleta

This episode has been a long time coming. After navigating one of the most personally and professionally demanding years of my life, I finally found my way back to the mic.. cafecito in hand, corazón wide open. If you’ve ever had a season that flipped your world upside down, you already know: sometimes the only way forward is through a deep reset.

This episode is a catch-up, a confession, and a call-in. It's me, your girl, peeling back the curtain and sharing the full chisme behind my quiet season, because I believe our realest moments deserve to be heard, not hidden.

TL:DL (Too Long, Didn’t Listen... Yet 😉)

Here’s the quick sip:
I’ve been in survival mode. Two unexpected home moves, major family loss, huge transitions, chronic illness flare-ups, and the ever-demanding dance of entrepreneurship tested every inch of my bandwidth. At one point, we were nearly without a home and it was my community of Jefas who made it possible for my family and I to stay grounded in SoCal..

Shoutout to Lorena Arguelles for being our personal angel + best realtor in SoCal, who helped us find a home to stay, hit her up.

It reminded me of what this movement is really about:
✨ Alleviating the loneliness of entrepreneurship, one cafecito at a time.

What You’ll Hear in the Full Episode

In "Reset, Reconnect, and Refocus: A Jefa's Journey," I walk you through the real-time decisions I made to slow down without giving up, and how I’ve rebuilt a business rhythm that feels aligned, sustainable, and rooted in real life.

Some highlights from the episode:

Behind the scenes of my personal reset: What led me to hit pause, and how I gave myself permission to move at the speed of capacity.
The role of community during crisis: How fellow Jefas became my lifeline.. offering encouragement, and truth-telling when I needed it most.
Rebuilding with intention: The systems, habits, and offers I’ve reimagined so my business supports my health, my family, and my creativity.
How the CCJ Casita has bloomed: We now host 35+ events a month, including brand-new biweekly co-working sessions with our Casita Leaders.
Ways to work with me right now: From 1:1 brand strategy sessions and photoshoots, to our next #JefaLife101 cohort in the Fall, you’ve got options, Jefa. Book a consultation so we can decide which option of support best fits your current season.

This Season is About More than Business...

It’s about finding your way back to yourself.

It’s about learning to create in seasons of chaos, to rest without guilt, and to build with people who see you. Whether you’re tuning in on your lunch break or catching up during a late-night edit session, I hope this episode feels like a breath of fresh air and a reminder that you’re not alone.
