The Definition of an "Awakened Architect": Why I Coined This Term (And How You Can Build It Too)
What does it mean to be an Awakened Architect? I’m defining the title I created for myself—a mom and entrepreneur who cracked the “matrix”, built a financial engine from scratch, and designed a life of total autonomy.
NOTE: When I talk about the Matrix, I’m talking about the Default Settings. Most people spend their whole lives playing a game where the rules were written by people who don't have their best interests at heart. They live in a loop of work, consume, and judge. To 'Crack the Matrix' is to realize that those rules are optional. Once you see the patterns—the fake “his-story”, the unnecessary debt, and the forced guilt—you can stop being a character in someone else’s play and start being the Architect of your own.
I get asked the same question in every time zone, whether I’m in a high-rise in Busan or a villa in Bali: "What do you actually do?"
They see the travel. They see the freedom. But they don't understand the structure that holds it all up. They think I got lucky, or that I’m just a "tourist" with a good savings account.
I needed a term to describe the woman I had to become to survive and thrive in this world. I am not just a "Digital Nomad." I am not just a "Traveler."
I am an Awakened Architect.
I coined this term because it perfectly describes the two-part journey I went through—and the journey I now teach to women who are sitting at their desks, dreaming of a life they don't think they can afford.
Part 1: The "Awakened" (The Mindset)
To be "Awakened" means you have stopped sleepwalking through the life society designed for you.
For me, awakening meant seeing through the cracks in the system. As a Puerto Rican woman, I carry the history of colonization in my DNA. I learned early on that the “his-story”, we are taught in the West is often a fabrication designed to keep us compliant.
Being awakened means I don't look at the world through rose-colored glasses.
I see the "Age of Deception" ending while others cling to it.
I see the potential in the "Tiger Economies" of Africa and the East while others are still naively impressed by the crumbling empires of Europe.
I see that the "American Dream" of a 9-to-5 job and a mortgage is actually a cage designed to keep you from your true power.
You might not be awakened yet. You might just feel a nagging sense that something isn't right—that you were meant for more than paying bills and waiting for the weekend. That feeling? That’s the first step.
Part 2: The "Architect" (The Strategy)
This is where most dreamers fail. You can be "awake" to the lies, but if you don't have a plan, you’re just angry.
I am a financial expert. I didn't start this journey with a trust fund; I started with no capital. I had to become an Architect of my own financial reality. I built systems. I scaled bootstrapped businesses. I learned how money works so that I wouldn't have to work for money forever.
An Architect doesn't just "hope" for a vacation. An Architect designs a Lifestyle Business—like my company, Yari Solutions—that generates revenue while I sleep, allowing me to be present for my children and free to move when the seasons change.
Why I Created This Title
I created this title for myself because the world tries to put women in their 40s into a very small box (especially if you’re a mother). They tell us our time for adventure is over. They tell us to be "realistic."
I rejected that box. I designed a new one.
I am an Awakened Architect because:
I Unlearned the Fear: I cut the cords with societal expectations and the "Ego" that keeps people stuck in fear of what others think.
I Built the Engine: I used financial literacy as my toolbelt to build a life where I answer to no one.
I Own My Freedom: I travel not to escape life, but to analyze it, learn from it, and expand my mind beyond what the news tells me.
The Invitation: From Aspiring to Architect
Right now, you might not feel like an Architect. You might feel like you're staring at a blank blueprint, unsure of where to draw the first line.
That is exactly why I share my story. My goal is to be the bridge. I want to show you the "Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" of this life—not to scare you, but to prepare you.
If you are a woman who wants to build a business, travel the world, and open your eyes to the reality of the Golden Era we are entering, you are my student. You don't have to be nomadic yet. You just have to be willing to pick up the pen and start designing.
