Grieving Life Before Cancer Diagnosis

Meet Rosalina, a 31-year-old first-generation Latina based in Los Angeles. Diagnosed with hormone-positive breast cancer at 28, she became the first in her family to navigate this disease, experiencing a profound sense of isolation.

Motivated by a desire to help others, Rosalina founded and co-hosts the Too Young For This Shit Podcast —a project initiated during her cancer treatment. Through this platform, she openly shares her experiences, addresses often-overlooked topics and provides support for those affected by breast cancer.

Thank you to Tadin for sponsoring this episode.

Today, I am joined by Vanessa Santos, Soul-Led Entrepreneur, Community Builder, & Speaker.

We have a conversation about what happens when the “spotlight turns off”, when you deliver your speech and step off of the stage, or when you have a full day of being an entrepreneur.

Our central theme: What is essential in the day to day, to be able to show up in the ways that we do and with the “poder” that we exude in our respective fields?

As Latinas, there are still times when we have to work harder to have our voices heard, recognized, and acknowledged in multiple facets of life. We’ll uncover these themes & how they show up in our personal and professional lives to help understand how we take time to take care of & nurture our wellbeing, so that we can continue to nurture our communities and rewire our relationship to success, work, and wellness.

Building Something to Be Proud of

Meet Rosie, a Life and Business coach. Her passion is to empower women to establish or expand their own service-based business.

Rosie shares the story of how she went from being the "perfect daughter" to someone who felt shame for many years. Through her inner work journey, she found ways to learn to receive love, honor her lived experiences, and go after her dreams.

Connect with Rosie:

In this episode I share a short story that I haven't shared publicly before and it's one of the reasons I started the ¡Latina, Presente! Workshop Series.

I shared this speech at the Storytelling like Our Abuelitas workshop and it's about how I learned about the power of storytelling as a means to preserve memories & experience moments even if we weren't physically there.

My hope is that we recognize the power that our cultura, and the women, men, people in our lives have to inspire the way we show up as speakers.

Creating Inclusive Wellness Spaces Inspired by Our Abuelitas
