We’re looking forward to introducing you to viviana pena . Check out our conversation below.
Good morning viviana , we’re so happy to have you here with us and we’d love to explore your story and how you think about life and legacy and so much more. So let’s start with a question we often ask: What is a normal day like for you right now?
Right now, a normal day for me starts early. I like to plan my day and set my priorities first thing in the morning. I spend most of my time working at my spa, attending to clients, managing appointments, and making sure everything runs smoothly. I also dedicate time to learning new techniques and improving my skills. In the evenings, I review the day’s work and prepare for the next day. I like to stay organized and productive, but I also make time to take care of myself.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
My name is Viviana Pena, and I’m the founder of Gorgeous Body LLC, a beauty and wellness spa in Florida. I specialize in advanced body contouring, Colombian techniques like maderoterapia, facial treatments, and vitamin therapy to help clients look and feel their best. What makes my brand unique is the combination of professional expertise, personalized care, and a warm, welcoming environment where clients feel valued and supported. My journey started with a passion for aesthetics and a desire to empower people through self-care. Right now, I’m also developing my own line of Colombian shapewear and creating professional training courses for those who want to learn specialized beauty techniques. For me, it’s not just about beauty—it’s about confidence, transformation, and wellbeing.”
Okay, so here’s a deep one: What did you believe about yourself as a child that you no longer believe?
I truly grew up in an environment where opportunities were limited. I come from a very humble home, but I was always blessed with parents who encouraged me to move forward. Honestly, I never thought I would become who I am today. I admire myself a lot, and I will always be grateful to life for giving me opportunities that I have truly known how to take advantage of.
What’s something you changed your mind about after failing hard?
Like everything and everyone in life, we all experience some kind of failure. Mine was not becoming a great doctor. But over time, I changed my perspective and realized that the professional path I was beginning had a lot to do with the health field. Now, I am grateful because all my patients are treated with great ethics, and everything I do is related not only to beauty but also to health.
Helping my patients look and feel better gave me a different perspective on that failure I once thought would keep me from becoming a professional. Today, I am grateful to life for teaching me that we can also learn from failure.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What are the biggest lies your industry tells itself?
The biggest myths in this industry are that you need a lot of money to get started, that you must have expensive machines to be a true professional, and that you need a storefront outside your home to be recognized. For me, all of that was simply not true.
I began from nothing, with a very limited budget, working out of the living room in the apartment where I lived. I handled everything legally and ran my business from home for two years. This experience proved to me that anything is possible when you approach it with passion and dedication.
To support my dream, I took on other jobs nights and weekends—not only to cover my spa’s expenses but also to pay for my education. It was hard work, but every challenge taught me resilience and strengthened my commitment to succeed.
Anything is possible in life when you combine love, hard work, and an unwavering determination to never give up
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. What light inside you have you been dimming?
dimmed the belief that I was not destined for great things, and instead, I embraced the conviction that I am capable of achieving everything I set out to do. Additionally, I refused to allow negative influences from ill-intentioned individuals to diminish my progress, choosing instead to focus on my personal and professional growth.
