Episodes
What if the strength that kept you safe is the same wall blocking the support you crave? We open up about why receiving help can feel dangerous for many first‑gen Latinas, tracing the roots from migration and poverty to language barriers, racism, and the family roles we adopted too young—helper, translator, emotional anchor. Those experiences shaped a survival identity that equates love with being low ma...
Download Here: Crossing the Year Gently, Mijita
Start the year softer, not louder. After a season marked by grief, health scares, and relationship strain, we’re choosing integration over reinvention and safety over speed. I share the real story behind chemo day one, the ache of anniversaries, and the marriage moments that nearly broke us, then describe how rest, boundaries, and nervous system care put the...
The holidays can be beautiful—and brutal. We open our hearts to the truth that celebrations don’t create grief; they reveal it. From empty chairs to evolving traditions, we talk candidly about what it feels like when love has no easy place to land and why presence beats performance every time.
I share stories of family gatherings that changed shape, the tenderness of spotting red cardinals that ...
Free Download: Birthday + Human Design Ritual
What if a birthday wasn’t a report card but a ritual of return? We take a gentle pause to honor another year of survival and becoming, and we trade checklists for a single, embodied question: how do I want to feel in my body this year? From the first breath to the closing blessing, we explore how rest becomes a right, not a reward, and how honoring your energy...
When life feels louder than your heartbeat, the body starts speaking for you—tight chest, spiraling thoughts, numbness, or sudden tears. We created this conversation for the first-gen daughter, the mom, the partner, the healer who holds it all and just needs one honest path back to center. Together we unpack why so many of us were taught to push through instead of regulate, then trade shame for skills th...
What if your body has been telling the truth the whole time? We unpack how love gets tangled with self-abandonment when someone you care about shows narcissistic traits, and we walk step by step through the signals, scripts, and support that help you hold onto yourself without slipping into constant conflict.
We start by naming seven common behaviors—lack of accountability, gaslighting, emotiona...
The hardest seasons don’t just take things from us; they ask who we’re becoming. I’m sharing a raw, heart-forward look at navigating setbacks during the cold supermoon, from slow surgical healing and a shifting chemo timeline to money wounds that echo louder than the numbers suggest. If you’ve felt heavy, confused, or like you should have been “over it” by now, you’re in the right room. We explore why he...
Holidays can feel like a tug-of-war between gratitude and pressure, especially for first‑gen Latinas navigating old roles, noisy questions, and the invisible load of keeping everyone comfortable. We decided to rewrite the script. Together we map a softer Thanksgiving built on presence, nervous system care, and boundaries that are kind, clear, and non-negotiable.
We start by reframing gratitude a...
A lemon tree landed on my life and I decided to plant it. Two major surgeries—bilateral mastectomy and DIEP flap reconstruction—rewired how I relate to my body, my voice, my family, and my work. Between T‑Rex arms, double‑D swelling, and late‑night closet recordings on yoga balls, I found a wild mix of pain medicine and laughter that turned survival into a softer, truer way to live.
I open up ab...
What if the bravest kind of strength is the kind that lets you be held? This candid share comes straight from the recovery chair after breast reconstruction and a tummy tuck within a fast-moving breast cancer journey. No gloss. No highlight reel. Just the truth of pain, gratitude, and the quiet revolutions that happen when your body insists on a slower, softer way.
We walk through the difference...
Ever felt like the universe hit pause on your plans just as you found your stride? We unpack Mercury retrograde moving from Sagittarius to Scorpio and show how to turn the supposed chaos into hard-won clarity. Instead of blaming the stars for broken emails and mixed messages, we explore what this transit is actually asking for: slower breaths, truer words, and choices that match your values.
We ...
When certainty falls away, what’s left to hold? We open the door to a candid, healing conversation about navigating diagnosis, surgery, and the uneasy calm that comes after the hospital lights fade. With a blend of Spanish and English, body wisdom and practical ritual, we map the terrain where fear, faith, and flow meet—and learn how to keep moving when the mind wants guarantees and the heart only has qu...
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...

The Inner Spark Challenge has become a sacred container for transformation, where brave mujeres are confronting the good girl conditioning that taught us "calladita te ves mas bonita" (you look prettier when quiet). Ove...
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...
