150. Navigating Grief After Losing My Dad
After losing my dad, I’m opening up about navigating grief, the complicated relationship we had over the last six-plus years, and how I had already been grieving his absence long before his passing. But losing him has brought a different kind of grief, one I’m still learning to process. A vulnerable conversation about loss, healing, and giving yourself grace through life’s unexpected moments.

148. Becoming the Woman I Needed
In this episode I open up about what it really means for me to become the woman I needed when I was younger. For a long time, I looked outside of myself for things I had to learn how to give myself love, reassurance, safety, stability. Like many of us, I spent years in survival mode… pushing through, overgiving, people-pleasing, and trying to earn love instead of simply receiving it. But lately, I’ve been asking myself a different question: what if healing is just choosing myself, quietly and consistently, in the way I live my everyday life?This episode is a reflection on that shift. On slowing down. On choosing peace. On learning that softness is not weakness it’s actually strength after everything you’ve been through.

147. Financial Traumas First Gen Latinos Don't Talk About
Money was never just money in our householdsit was stress, silence, and survival. In this episode, I open up about the financial traumas that shaped me and so many first gen Latinos: growing up watching my parents work endless hours, never feeling like I deserved to spend on myself, and the guilt that came with doing better than the people I love most. I talk about what money trauma actually looks like in adulthood the anxiety every time you open your bank account, overspending to fill a scarcity wound, over-giving to family even when you can't afford to, and self-sabotaging when things are finally going well.This episode is for every Latino who has ever felt guilty for wanting more. You worked hard for this. You deserve to enjoy it.

139. The Season I Chose Myself
Sometimes, life forces us to pause and in that pause, we discover what really matters. In this episode, I get real about the season I took a step back from everything: from my podcast, from social media, from trying to keep up. I was heartbroken, overwhelmed, and learning to heal. Even though I thought I had healed a lot, this breakup made me feel like I was unhealed. I share what it looked like behind the scenes, the lessons therapy taught me, and why choosing myself first was the most powerful decision I could make. If you’ve ever felt like you needed to disappear to find yourself, this episode is for you. It’s a reminder that pausing doesn’t mean quitting, and healing doesn’t have a timeline. Join me as I reflect, release guilt, and come back to life on my own terms.
