  • What If Healing Requires Celebration

    Send a message or voice memo

    Chemo ending is supposed to feel like a clean finish line, but what happens when your body is still nauseous, your energy is gone, and your mind keeps whispering “what if it comes back?” I’m sharing a milestone I didn’t know how I’d reach: I’m finished with chemotherapy, and I’m telling the truth about what comes after the last infusion. Not just the physical side effects like fatigue, pain, night sweats, and not recognizing yourself in the mirror, but the emotional aftermath that can hit even harder once survival mode finally shuts off. 

    We talk about the fear of recurrence and the anxiety that steals sleep, the kind of stress that makes your imagination feel like reality. I also share what helped me stay grounded: naming this season for what it is, letting my spirit catch up with my body, and choosing a slower kind of strength built on resilience, surrender, and nervous system regulation. If you’re in breast cancer recovery or supporting someone who is, you’ll hear language for the feelings that rarely get airtime. 

    Another thread running through everything is learning to receive. I’ve spent years being the one who holds it all together, and chemo forced a different lesson: community care is not a luxury, it’s part of healing. We also dig into why celebration matters, especially for people who power through hard things and move on too fast. I’ll walk you through a simple self-celebration practice you can try today, then I’ll invite you to share your story because it might be someone else’s survival guide. 

    If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find it when they’re in their own hard season.

  • Limpias, Energy, and Releasing What Isn’t Yours

    Send a message or voice memo

    That “heavy for no reason” feeling can be the loudest clue that you’re carrying energy that never belonged to you. We slow down together, take a real breath, and get honest about how stress can lodge in the body as tightness, racing thoughts, exhaustion, and that constant sense of being on edge when nothing “big” even happened.

    We talk limpias as ancestral medicine, not a trend and not something you need to be “fixed” for. We connect the dots between emotional boundaries and spiritual cleansing, including why curanderismo practices like the huevo cleanse, sage, romero, smoke, cleansing water, prayer, and clear intention can help release emotional residue and energetic attachments. We also break down the everyday ways energy sticks to us: overgiving, people pleasing, sitting in gossip-heavy environments, and swallowing anger or resentment until the body becomes the container.

    You’ll get a guided release practice you can do anywhere with breath and imagery, plus a reminder to listen to your capacity when your body says you’re overextending. We also share what it looks like to protect your energy while still loving your people, especially during hard seasons and big healing journeys. If you’re ready to go deeper with energy work and coaching, we share how to join the Aimijita Collective. Subscribe, share this with someone who carries too much, and leave a review with the boundary you’re practicing this week.

  • When Anxiety Gets Loud

    Send a message or voice memo

    Anxiety doesn’t always make sense. Sometimes life looks “fine” on paper, but your body feels like it’s bracing for impact. I recorded this one even though I wanted to avoid it, because saying it out loud makes it real: anxiety has been loud in my life, and chemo has changed how I carry everything.

    I share what it’s been like being 17 weeks into cancer treatment, holding faith and fear at the same time, and living with the reality that recurrence is still a possibility. We talk about the grief of not feeling like myself, the pressure of deadlines and money stress, and the exhaustion that comes from being “the strong one” for years. That version of me got me here, but she’s tired, and I’m learning that strength also looks like stopping and saying, “I’m not okay.”

    We also get practical and honest about mental health support. I walk through the stigma, the second-guessing, and why I chose to seek professional help even though I do spiritual healing work like limpias, prayer, and working with guides. I share what it felt like to open up to my family, how different people respond, and how to ask for what you actually need: not advice, not fixing, just presence. If anxiety has been showing up in your life, I leave you with questions to reflect on and an invitation to get supported in community.

    If this resonates, share it with someone who needs it, subscribe so you don’t miss the next conversation, and leave a review to help more people find this space.

  • Worth Is Not A Number

    Send a message or voice memo

    Money anxiety can feel like a tight chest, a racing mind, and that familiar thought loop of “what if there’s not enough.” I get real about how quickly taxes, bills, and budgeting can trigger old self-worth wounds, especially when your body has lived through instability, debt, or seasons of rebuilding. What looks like “overreacting” is often your nervous system trying to protect you, and there’s nothing shameful about that.

    We walk through the difference between grounded responsibility and scarcity spiraling, and why avoiding the numbers usually makes the fear louder. I share what helped me move from bracing to breathing, including how relational safety and telling the truth out loud can interrupt the spiral. We also unpack the deeper question underneath so much financial stress: what does money represent to you, and when did you start tying it to safety, love, success, or worthiness?

    Then we get practical. You’ll hear a clear framework you can use anytime money stress rises: pause, ground, get curious, look at the facts, take one small action, and practice receiving relief when it comes. We also cover concrete financial literacy steps that build structural safety, like budgeting with compassion, shopping insurance, reviewing subscriptions, building an emergency fund, and making consistent debt payments. If you want nervous system regulation plus real-world money tools, press play and take the next grounded step with me. Subscribe, share with a comadre who needs the reminder, and leave a review so more people can find this support.

  • Rejoice In The Dip

    Send a message or voice memo

    Something shifts when life stops letting you rush. I’m in week 15 of chemotherapy, and I wanted to sit down with you and tell the truth about what this season feels like when you’re doing your best and still feel tired in every sense of the word. I call it “the dip” that middle space where nothing is fully resolved, your body has limits, and you’re learning how to live without pushing through at all costs. 

    I share a recent emergency room scare, the extra fear that comes with chemo side effects and a family history of heart disease, and the deeper lesson underneath it all: slowing down is not failure. For so many of us, especially first-generation women, strength gets tied to productivity, money, and holding everything together. This season asks me to practice a different kind of resilience: listening to my body, receiving support, and showing myself the grace I give to everyone else. 

    Easter weekend opens my heart even more. Sitting in church with my kids, I feel resurrection, renewal, and faith in my body not as a metaphor, but as a lived reality. I talk about crying through the service, grieving my old self, and realizing two things can be true at once: gratitude with grief, joy with ache, fear with trust. We also get practical with presence, including box breathing, and a new definition of “rejoice” that is quiet, rooted, and real. 

    If you’re in your own hard season, let this be your reminder: you’re not weak because you need support, and you’re not behind because life slowed you down. Listen, share this with someone who needs it, and if it resonates, subscribe and leave a review. What would it look like to stop postponing your joy today?

  • The Relationship Truth You Can't Ignore Anymore

    Send a message or voice memo

    The full moon in Libra doesn’t just ask whether your relationships look balanced. It asks whether they truly are. If you’ve been emotional, extra sensitive, or quietly resentful, there’s a reason: Libra energy can expose the places where harmony became a performance and truth became something you swallowed to stay lovable.

    We talk about the hidden labour of being “the strong one” the fixer, the peacekeeper, the glue. We name the patterns that show up in romantic relationships, family dynamics, and friendships: overgiving, overexplaining, overfunctioning, and calling self-sacrifice “love.” We also go straight into the harder medicine: power struggles that don’t always look like yelling, the quiet ways people take up emotional space, and the moment you realise loyalty won’t change someone who benefits from your silence. Compassion matters, but so does accountability.

    Then we turn inward. Because the Libra full moon is also a mirror for how we relate to ourselves: our self-talk, our self-trust, and whether we listen when the body says no. I share how this season of chemo, fatigue, and changing capacity forces clearer boundaries and makes relationship truths louder. We pull an oracle card from The Guides of the Hidden Realms Oracle, “Another Chance To Be,” and sit with its message of regeneration, rebuilding, and second chances that require real effort and real honesty.

    You’ll leave with grounded practices and journaling prompts for relationship healing, boundaries, nervous system safety, and reciprocity. Subscribe, share this with someone who needs the mirror, and leave a review if it lands. What truth are you ready to stop negotiating?

  • A Rebirth You Can Feel

    Send a message or voice memo

    A new podcast cover can be a cute refresh. Mine is a line in the sand. 

    This bonus episode is personal, raw, and honestly a little sacred: I’m sharing what’s underneath my rebrand and why it feels like a rebirth. Chemo has changed my capacity, my energy, my voice, and the way I move through the world. When fatigue and brain fog hit, when perimenopause brings emotional waves, I can’t “power through” like I used to and that forces a bigger question: who am I without the performance? 

    I talk about the old version of me that held expectations and roles, the identity of being the strong one, and why so many of us (especially Latinas and eldest daughters) learn to hold it all down until our bodies say ya no mas. Rebirth isn’t aesthetic. It’s messy, uncomfortable, and real. But on the other side, I’m not building from survival anymore, I’m building from alignment, making different choices, and protecting my bandwidth with more intention. 

    If you’ve been feeling a pull to come back to yourself, I also created something simple and powerful: my Raíz Reset Ritual Checklist. It’s a step-by-step pause and reconnection practice with a limpia plus a little astrology and human design, and you can download it at dorapraxadis.com/reset.

  • Pisces New Moon Reset

    Send a message or voice memo

    🔮 WANT A PERSONALIZED NEW MOON READING 👉🏽  SIGN UP HERE: https://www.dorapraxedis.com/reading

    The Pisces new moon can feel like a wave that pulls up everything you thought you already healed. If you’ve been emotional, exhausted, triggered, or weirdly nostalgic, I want you to hear this clearly: you’re not going backwards, you’re closing a cycle and your body and spirit are asking for release. I share what this late-degree Pisces energy brings up, especially when it hits that tender space of emotions, subconscious patterns, and spiritual growth. 

    I also open my own oracle spread and walk you through what came through for me while I navigate a season of deep healing. We talk identity-level transformation, the challenge of receiving love when you’re used to being the strong one, and what it means to live the “wounded healer” path where pain becomes medicine. I get real about intuition, the fear of your own gifts, and why boundaries are a form of love that protects your peace. 

    Then we slow it all the way down with a guided breath and a mini energetic reading to help you notice what feels heavy in your body and what’s ready to end. I give you reflection questions to journal with, plus intentions you can speak out loud to support emotional healing, nervous system regulation, and new moon manifestation in a grounded way. If this lands, subscribe, share this with someone in transition, and leave a review with one thing you’re ready to release.

  • Loving Someone Who Won’t Heal: Gaslighting, Stonewalling & Emotional Unavailability

    Send a message or voice memo

    If you’ve ever walked away from a hard conversation feeling dizzy, guilty, and unsure what even happened, you’re not imagining it. We get real about emotional unavailability and the patterns that make love feel like a constant test: shutting down during conflict, refusing accountability, minimising your feelings, and the brutal “pretend nothing happened” reset that leaves you holding all the emotional weight.

    We break down stonewalling and the silent treatment for what they often are: emotional disconnection that your nervous system experiences as rejection and abandonment. From there, we unpack gaslighting and victim shaming, including how these manipulation tactics can slowly train you to doubt your own memory, apologise for things you didn’t do, and start treating someone else’s version of reality as the truth. I also share personal stories and a first-gen Latina lens on how family culture, shame, and stigma can shape the way we handle conflict and mental health.

    We talk about why some people refuse therapy or any kind of professional help, and we draw a bright line between compassion and tolerance. You’ll leave with practical tools for protecting your peace: stop over-explaining, name the behaviour, set clear boundaries, detach from fixing, and regulate your body through breathwork, journaling, therapy, and supportive community. Most of all, we return to radical self-loyalty and the question that changes everything: what do you need to feel emotionally safe?

    If this hit home, subscribe, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find this kind of healing work. What boundary are you ready to set next?
