Carla Alonzo is the founder of Mastery of Possibilities, LLC, a non-profit organization that aims to uplift and support young people in being strong, daring, and secure in their identities. With her inspiring talks and vision board workshops, Carla has positively impacted numerous students by conducting self-growth sessions.

Carla's life story is one of resilience, determination, and hope. Born into a family that struggled with poverty and addiction, she was adopted at a young age but then abandoned and neglected. Raised in a very traditional Hispanic family, Carla was expected to keep quiet and was limited in her autonomy. However, she refused to let her circumstances define her and found a way to break free from the cycle of trauma and adversity.

Subsequently, Carla was in numerous bad and hazardous relationships and eventually dropped out of high school. But just when she thought it couldn't get any worse, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 38. Instead of giving in to despair, she saw this diagnosis as an opportunity to overcome and push forward. With the emancipation of her trauma, Carla found her way to a life of freedom, fearlessness, and trust in her authentic self.

Since then, Carla has dedicated herself to helping others overcome their own struggles and challenges. She is passionate about mental health and wellness, especially for teenagers with psychological distress who often suffer from feelings of loneliness and misunderstanding. According to research, 75% of youth between 12 and 18 reported having struggled with mental health issues, with nearly a third experiencing severe psychological distress that could interfere with their academic and social functioning. Carla's own experiences have given her a unique perspective and insight into the importance of mental health and wellness, and she is committed to making a difference in the lives of young people.

Carla is truly an inspirational woman who speaks with boldness and confidence. Her faith and unwavering belief have allowed her to overcome struggles, worries, and obstacles that were in her way. Her mission is to inspire, motivate, and empower our youth to be brave, bold, and confident in who they are. Her inspirational keynotes and vision board workshops have impacted hundreds of students.

Carla's story serves as a reminder that no matter where you come from or what challenges you face, you have the power to overcome and achieve your dreams. Her dedication and passion for helping others are an inspiration to us all.
