Paired with an unmatched self-love, Romi wears every identity like a badge of honor: bisexual, Christian, entrepreneur, divorcee, mother.
After spending time as a 3-season cast member of Showtime’s reality TV series The Real L Word in her 20s, Romi became a public figure overnight. The show provided Romi the opportunity to see the impact being vulnerable and open about one’s sexuality could have on others. Taken aback by the response, she began seeing her life’s purpose become much clearer and has since dedicated herself to creating safe spaces for those to discover their inner and outer beauty.
As a keynote speaker and certified identity coach, Romi cultivates these safe spaces and works directly with those who need the comfort of these safe spaces to openly express themselves and to the family members who are struggling to show support. She works with LGBTQIA+ individuals who are struggling with their identities, families of the LGBTQIA+ community, and those who are still navigating their own journeys.
No other identity has given Romi Marie as much purpose as motherhood has. And while society engraves in women that being a good mother means being a perfect woman, Romi sees it differently. By acknowledging the inescapable truths within herself and teaching her daughter to do the same, she’s breaking the mold and empowering other women as she goes.
As part of her continued personal mission to be a voice and advocate for women, she began co- hosting The EFF IT Madres podcast with her best friend and fellow life coach Carla Zuniga. Two Latina “Mompreneurs” discussing their own experiences of embracing life-altering choices as mothers, taking bold risks, and making significant moves in improving their lives.
The utmost important lesson she wants her daughter to know: Your story doesn’t own you, and only YOU have the power to let it.

Carla Zuniga is a celebrated mom empowerment coach, podcast co-host, and founder of Her Power Pins, an empowerment hair pin line for young girls. Carla’s journey from the sun-kissed streets of Orange County to the bustling avenues of Los Angeles epitomizes the transformative power of following one’s passion. A UCLA Sociology graduate, Carla’s quest for purpose led her through the corporate world, from mortgages to digital media, until a twist of fate redirected her to her true calling: hair artistry.
Embracing the artistry of hair at the prestigious Toni&Guy Hairdressing Academy, Carla honed her craft and emerged as a leading stylist and manager at a top-tier West Hollywood salon. For over a decade, she has not only styled hair but also styled lives, touching hearts and inspiring confidence in her clientele.
Carla’s desire to forge deeper connections and empower others sparked the creation of “The EFF IT Madres,” a podcast that resonates with mothers navigating life’s pivotal moments. As a Mom Empowerment Coach, she leverages her intuitive listening skills and empathetic questioning, refined through years of hairdressing, to support and uplift mothers in their personal journeys.
Her story is one of resilience, reinvention, and the relentless pursuit of impacting lives—not just superficially, but profoundly. Carla Zuniga stands as a testament to the beauty of embracing change and the strength found in community and shared experiences.
