Welcome to Un Verano con Self Love, Manis.

This is a special 5-part storytelling series where I’ll take you through five love stories, some romantic, some platonic, some about me, some about parts of me. Each one reflects a different Wound of Calladita Culture® and what it means to reclaim your voice, your worth, and your heart.

These aren’t perfect stories. They’re real. They’re tender. They’re here to remind you that healing can be messy, funny, painful, and beautiful, all at once.

So grab your cafecito, get comfy, and let’s begin your summer of self-love.

In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Eduardo Placer, founder of Fearless Communicators and all-around storytelling pro. Eduardo gets real about his Cuban-American roots, the twists and turns of his family’s journey through history, and how colonialism shapes the stories we tell about ourselves. They talk about what it means to truly own your voice, how to be part of change in your own way, and why self-care rituals (and great coffee) matter. Eduardo also shares what it means to be a “story doula” and how anyone can make sense of their story—even the messy parts.

In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Dalina Soto (aka The Latina Nutritionist) about her journey from growing up as the eldest daughter in a Dominican family in Philly to becoming a dietitian who’s changing the way we think about nutrition. Dalina opens up about what it was like feeling out of place in traditional nutrition spaces, how she found her voice to challenge outdated (and mostly whitewashed) nutrition advice, and why embracing her cultura in the world of wellness is so important. She also shares behind-the-scenes stories from writing her book, talks intuitive eating through a cultural lens, and even spills her go-to coffee ritual. Whether you’re curious about food, health, or breaking the mold as a Latina in business, this episode brings real talk, laughter, and tons of inspiration.
