We recently had the chance to connect with Jeanette Miranda and have shared our conversation below.
Jeanette, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I’m being called to share the parts of my story I once kept hidden — the pain, the heartbreak, and the moments that tested my faith and identity.
For years, I poured myself into creating spaces for women to be seen and heard through Rooted in Her, but I stayed quiet about my own journey. I thought my purpose was to help others heal, but I didn’t realize that my silence was keeping me from my own.
This year, God’s been calling me to stop hiding behind my strength and start speaking from my scars to share the truth of what shaped me from being sexually abused at a young age, to walking through miscarriages and a stillbirth, to navigating identity shifts and cultural expectations that once taught me to stay quiet.
I’ve learned that vulnerability isn’t weakness — it’s obedience.
It’s trusting that your story can heal someone else.
It’s realizing that the pain you survived was never meant to silence you, but to prepare you to lead from a deeper place.
Rooted in Her was born from that purpose, not just as a community for women, but as a reflection of my own becoming. It’s a reminder that healing doesn’t happen when life looks perfect. It happens when we show up raw, real, and willing to say, “me too.”
I used to fear being fully seen. Now, I know that’s exactly where the calling begins.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Jeanette Miranda, and I’m the founder and heart behind Rooted in Her — a Sisterhood community and movement designed for women in all seasons.
From breaking cultural and generational expectations to pursuing my dreams in the entertainment industry, my journey has been anything but linear. But it was motherhood that brought me face to face with an identity shift I didn’t expect, the moment I realized I had lost touch with the woman I once was, and the one I was becoming. That awakening led to the birth of Rooted in Her.
A thriving sisterhood where women from all walks of life come together. Our community isn’t just about events or networking; it’s about connection, mentorship, collaboration, and becoming who we’re meant to be. Through monthly virtual masterminds, mentorship sessions, and in-person gatherings, we pour into every aspect of life, personal and professional.
I also co-founded and co-host Taboo Talks Latina Edition — a movement and YouTube show created to empower Latinas to break cycles, challenge cultural stigmas, and heal through storytelling. Speaking out loud about our taboos and healing together.
At my core, I’m a community builder, mentor, speaker, mom, and wife — a woman who believes in using her voice and experiences to create safe spaces for others to do the same. My mission is simple but powerful: to help women rise, rooted in who they are and unapologetic about who they’re becoming.
Appreciate your sharing that. Let’s talk about your life, growing up and some of topics and learnings around that. What part of you has served its purpose and must now be released?
The part of me that once needed to prove her worth.
For so long, I lived in survival mode, driven by achievement, perfection, and the need to be “enough” for everyone around me. I carried the weight of expectations, cultural pressures, and the belief that love and success had to be earned through doing, not being.
But that version of me has served her purpose. She kept me going when life felt heavy. She helped me build, create, and rise from pain. And now, I honor her, but I don’t live there anymore.
I’m learning to release the version of me that hustled for validation and to embrace the woman who leads from alignment, grace, and faith. The one who knows her value isn’t defined by what she achieves, but by who she becomes in the process.
It’s not about letting go with bitterness; it’s about releasing with gratitude. Because every version of me, even the ones that felt lost or unseen, played a part in shaping the woman I am today.
If you could say one kind thing to your younger self, what would it be?
I would tell her — you’re already enough.
You don’t have to keep proving your worth or carrying everyone else’s expectations on your back. You don’t have to earn love through perfection or hide your pain behind strength.
One day, you’ll understand that the very moments that broke you were also the ones that built you, that God was never punishing you; He was preparing you. Every loss, every detour, every “why me?” was leading you home to yourself.
So breathe. Trust the timing. Don’t rush the process.
You are not behind, you’re becoming.
And one day, you’ll use every piece of your story to help other women remember the same truth: they were never broken, just being rebuilt.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
That woman have to do it all alone.
That success means constant hustle.
That community is just another “networking event.”
We’ve been conditioned to believe that strength looks like independence, when in reality, true strength is interdependence — it’s community. It’s sisterhood. It’s being brave enough to say, “I need support.”
The industry glorifies the highlight reel, the perfect balance, the polished brand, the illusion that we can thrive without breaking down. But the truth is, the real work happens in the in-between — in the messy middle, the unfiltered moments where growth takes root.
We don’t need more curated connections; we need real ones.
We don’t need more competition; we need collaboration.
And we don’t need to “have it all together”; we need to remember we’re not meant to do it all alone.
The biggest lie is that women have to choose between motherhood and ambition, business and balance, faith and fulfillment. The truth? We can have it all, just not by ourselves.
That’s why I built Rooted in Her to remind women that we rise higher when we rise together.
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What will you regret not doing?
Not walking fully in my purpose. For years, I played it safe. I did what I was “supposed” to do: work hard, follow the path, check the boxes. But deep down, I knew I was made for more. More than just clocking in and out. More than blending in.
More than being okay with just okay.
I’d regret silencing my story, the one that carries pain, resilience, and truth. Because every piece of my journey, even the hardest parts, shaped the woman I’ve become and the legacy I’m building for my children.
I want my boys to know that they can dream bigger, live bolder, and create their own path, that they’re not defined by where they come from, but by the courage to rise from it.
If I don’t walk in my purpose, I’d be teaching them to settle.
And that’s something I could never live with.
So I choose to keep going — to build, to speak, to believe not because it’s easy, but because I was never meant to live a small life.
