babe wake up! sara sodeezy finally decided to upload! lol hi amorcitos, i missed you guys so much. yes i promise i explain why i took a 6-month hiatus, and why it's important to take a break for the sake of your mental health. this week, i talk about some things i've struggled with in the past, and how i've overcome and learned to be kinder to myself. we also talk about stereotypes within the latino community and how damaging they can be.
