Today we sit down with Terry Hu - actor, artist, chess player! We talk about self-worth, identity, the theater, and what it means to build a life outside of performance. It’s a conversation about presence, purpose, and the beauty of just being.

This week, a bonus episode featuring me as the guest. I recently sat down with Zen Commuter to talk about meditation, presence, and what it means to live a mindful life in the middle of chaos. As an avid meditator and Dharma practitioner, I wanted to share this conversation with our Brown Enough community. We get into sitting with discomfort, turning awareness into action, and remembering that peace isn’t a destination, it’s a daily practice. If you’ve ever wondered how meditation shows up in my creative life, or how I balance the noise of the world with the stillness of the cushion — this one’s for you.

The one and only Aida Rodríguez, comedian, writer, and truth-teller. Aida’s comedy is fearless and full of heart, weaving stories of family, culture, and survival into punchlines that cut deep. We talk about where humor meets healing, and what it means to speak truth in a world that would rather you stay quiet.

Today on Brown Enough, I’m joined by actress Stephanie Arcila, a storyteller who’s mastered the art of betting on herself. From telenovelas to Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, to Fire Country, Stephanie brings heart, humor, and courage to everything she does. We talk self-care, language, love, community, having great people, and what it really takes to take a risk on your dreams.

Today we sit down with a friend, mentor, best selling author, the person I call when I need a ritual or limpia, and brilliant spark of life, Juliet Diaz, the author of The Altar Within, and other amazing reads. We chat communal liberation, solitude, how words are spells in your mouth, how our stories are our ancestors stories, reciprocity, freedom, radical activism, and that we all have the power to love everybody - no exceptions. It’s a great one! A powerful one! A medicinal one! Enjoy xo
