What would you do if your phone died… and you had no idea how to get where you were going?

In this episode, I share a story about getting lost in Canada with no battery, no map, and no clear plan.

What started as a normal trip quickly turned into chaos, and a situation that forced me to think, adapt, and trust myself in ways I didn’t expect.

😱In today’s episode, I’m reading 7 incredible stories sent in by YOU, my subscribers!

We are diving deep into the world of childhood punishments, from the funny and creative to the ones that still haunt us today.

Which of these stories reminded you the most of your own childhood?

Why do foreigners always seem to struggle with their digestion when visiting Mexico?

I’ll share my honest (and a bit critical) point of view on why tourists end up sick and what we, as Mexicans, do differently to stay healthy.

If you want to enjoy the best food in the world without ending up in the hospital, you NEED to listen to this!

In this episode, I’m opening up about a very personal part of my life: my parents' divorce when I was 9 years old. But this isn't a sad story—it’s a conversation about growth, empathy, and seeing our parents as human beings with their own dreams and romantic lives.

I’m sharing my honest experience watching them date again over the years; the good, the awkward, and the difficult moments.

Now that they are both single, I reflect on what I’ve learned from their journeys and, most importantly, the kind of partners I truly wish for them in this stage of their lives.

We all have those moments. (I hope) lol

The ones that randomly come back at 2 a.m. and make us think, “Why did I do that?”

In this episode, I react to embarrassing human moments we’ve all experienced, from awkward social situations to small mistakes that somehow feel huge in our heads.

Why does embarrassment feel so intense?

And why do we remember it for years?

If you’ve ever replayed a cringe moment in your head… this one is for you.

🗣️✨👩‍🏫 https://patreon.com/andrealamexicana Friendships don’t always end with fights. Sometimes, they simply expire.

In this episode, I talk about red flags in friendships, emotional alignment, envy, ghosting, and the uncomfortable truth that not every friendship is meant to last forever. Living away from home has changed the way I see friendship. Distance reveals who stays, who fades, and who grows with you.

Some times, growth creates distance. And sometimes, that distance is necessary. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’ve outgrown a friendship, this episode is for you.

Is it true that you become a different person when you speak another language? 🤨In Episode 69, I’m joined by my student Chris (from the USA) for a very 'spicy' conversation about a topic I usually avoid: Bad Words.

As many of you know, I don’t use bad words in Spanish, it just doesn't feel like me! But for some reason, swearing in English feels... easier? Less heavy? Chris and I dive into this linguistic mystery and compare how Mexicans and Americans handle 'forbidden' vocabulary.

In this episode, I talk about my experience learning English, not from methods or tips, but from what it actually felt like to learn another language.I share the fear of making mistakes, the frustration of understanding but not being able to respond, the mental exhaustion, and the moments when learning English affected my confidence.This is not an episode about how to learn English.It’s an honest conversation about identity, patience, vulnerability, and the invisible emotional process behind learning a new language.If you’re learning any language — and you’ve ever felt behind, tired, or not good enough, this episode is for you.Thank you for listening 💛
