Eine Frau, die beide Elemente sehr gut kombiniert und transportiert, ist die spanische PUMA-Botschafterin Cristina Pedroche.\nDie 31-J\u00e4hrige ist in Spanien vor allem als TV-Pers\u00f6nlichkeit bekannt. Cristina ist das Gesicht von PUMAs Yoga-Kollektionen in der Region. Mit uns sprach sie \u00fcber weibliches Empowerment, ihr Leben als \u00f6ffentliche Person und ihre Workout-Routine.\n\n \nAls eine Frau, die f\u00fcr weibliches Empowerment steht, was bedeutet weibliches Empowerment f\u00fcr Sie, und gibt es etwas, dessen sich jede Frau bewusst sein sollte?\nF\u00fcr mich bedeutet Empowerment, ich selbst zu sein, f\u00fcr das zu k\u00e4mpfen, woran ich glaube, und mich frei zu f\u00fchlen. Frei, Entscheidungen zu treffen und das zu sein, was ich sein m\u00f6chte. Jeder sollte sein k\u00f6nnen, was er will, unabh\u00e4ngig von seiner Ethnie, seiner sexuellen Identit\u00e4t, seiner sozialen Stellung oder seiner Religion. Mir gef\u00e4llt der Gedanke, dass wir alle f\u00fcr eine freiere Gesellschaft k\u00e4mpfen, in der wir uns nicht gegenseitig Schaden zuf\u00fcgen.\nWenn man in der \u00d6ffentlichkeit steht, muss man sich der Kritik stellen. Woher nehmen Sie den Mut und die Kraft, sich von bestimmten Kommentaren nicht unterkriegen zu lassen?\nIch bin frei. Ich f\u00fchle mich sicher in dem, was ich tue und was ich bin. Ich wei\u00df, dass ich nicht von jedem gemocht werden kann, und ich relativiere Kritik sehr, sowohl die gute als auch die schlechte. Ich bin immer von meiner Familie und meinem engsten Freund umgeben. Sie sind diejenigen, auf die ich am meisten h\u00f6re.\nIhre positive Einstellung ist ermutigend. Was ist Ihr Schl\u00fcssel, um selbstbewusst und positiv zu sein?\nIch versuche immer, die positiven Seiten der Dinge zu sehen. Das Leben ist ein langer Weg, auf dem es viele Hindernisse gibt. Wir k\u00f6nnen diese Hindernisse nicht \u00e4ndern, aber wir k\u00f6nnen unsere Einstellung \u00e4ndern. Mit einer positiven Einstellung sieht alles leichter und ertr\u00e4glicher aus.\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<a class=\"primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/de\/sports\/interview-with-puma-yoga-ambassador-and-spanish-tv-moderator-cristina-pedroche\/\" data-no-translation=\"\" data-trp-gettext=\"\">Story lesen<\/a>\n\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wir alle sind manchmal ein wenig \u00e4ngstlich.
