The air feels different this time of year, like the world has turned down the noise so we can hear what’s always been speaking. We step into the thin-veil season to honor Halloween, All Saints Day, and Día de los Muertos as a bridge between memory and presence—where candles, marigolds, and names become a path home for our loved ones and a source of strength for us.
We explore the global roots of...
Your body has been speaking this whole time—through tight jaws, heavy shoulders, and the ache that won’t quit—and today we slow down enough to hear it. We explore how symptoms can hold unprocessed emotions, grief we never voiced, and even ancestral stories we’ve been carrying without knowing. Through the lens of curanderismo and grounded somatic tools, we map what the body remembers and learn how to move...
What if the strongest move isn’t holding it all together, but letting yourself be held? We open the door to community care and explore how receiving support can be a radical, tender step toward real healing—especially for those of us taught to be the fixer, the organizer, the one who keeps it all running. Through lived stories, cultural memory, and practical tools, we map a path from hyper‑individualism ...
If you’ve ever felt life slam the brakes—through illness, heartbreak, loss, or burnout—this conversation invites you to see the pause not as punishment, but as protection. We open with breathwork to ground your nervous system, then move into a raw story of hosting a community challenge under an Aries full moon while navigating a cancer diagnosis, the pressure to be strong, and the quiet call to surrender...
A routine follow-up call turned into the moment everything changed, and we’re not hiding from it. Dora shares how a breast cancer diagnosis cracked open old patterns—people-pleasing, cultural silence around illness, and the habit of being “the strong one”—and how choosing truth over secrecy created a path back to connection. From telling her husband over a chocolate bar in the garage to navigating a maze...

What happens when the "good girl" you've been playing all your life starts suffocating the authentic woman you're meant to become? In this soul-stirring exploration, we unpack the survival strategy that many first-gen Latinas and women from traditional backgrounds know intimately—the compulsion to please everyone, stay small, remain quiet, and always be "nice," even when you...

Guilt whispers "I did something bad" while shame declares "I am bad" – and for many first-generation Latinas and women of color, these emotions form invisible chains keeping us trapped in cycles of self-sacrifice and silence.
From childhood phrases like "no seas egoísta" (don't be selfish) or "calladita te ves más bonita" (you look prettier when quiet...
What happens when we untangle our sense of self-worth from our bank accounts? Diving deep into the messy, emotional landscape where money and identity intersect, this episode explores how cultural conditioning, family dynamics, and societal messaging shape our relationship with abundance.

That little voice inside your head has a way of keeping you small. The whispers of "I'm not good enough" or "Who do I think I am?" stop many of us before we even get started. But what if I told you that voice isn't actually yours?
Drawing from my own journey through teenage pregnancy, bankru...
Healing the mother wound requires courage to look at what's been passed down through generations of Latina mothers and daughters. This deeply personal exploration dives into the painful patterns that develop when love feels conditional, when we're praised for self-sacrifice instead of self-expression, and when cultural messages about being a "good daughter" leave us feeling perpetuall...

What exactly does it mean to be "la toxica"? It's a label that gets thrown around plenty, but the reality runs deeper than just jealousy and drama. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Dora and Daisy break down the spectrum of toxic behaviors that show up in our relationships, complete with hilariously relatable role-plays of the silent treatment, Instagram stalking, and those passive-agg...
Relationships serve as powerful mirrors reflecting not just who we are, but also our deepest wounds, beliefs, and generational patterns. When something triggers us in a relationship, it's rarely just about the other person—it's about an old wound being activated.
As Latinas and first-generation Americans, many of us carry cultural beliefs about love that shape our relationships in prof...
The cosmos has a message for us all as Mercury spins backward through the fiery territory of Leo from July 17th to August 11th. Unlike the standard Mercury retrograde panic, this episode brings a fresh perspective on embracing this cosmic drama queen energy with grace and spiritual awareness.

Boundary-setting can feel like betrayal when you've been raised in a culture where family needs always come first. That guilt you feel when saying "no"? It's not just you — it's generations of conditioning that equates self-care with selfishness.
