Pialli everyone! With the intention of discussing light hearted topics, this week's episode is about all things joy. What brings us joy in our day to day lives, you ask? All things little (and baby), laughter, crunchy foods, and, of course, things related to childhood. Enjoy! Warning: Loud noise at 47:47.

We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for some BIG news and blessings. Join us as we talk about the journey of carrying a bundle of ancient medicine, intergenerational trauma, and much much more. We know y'all probably have LOTS of questions so we will most likely follow up with a Q&A episode. Enjoy!

Pialli otra vez! Welcome back to Cosas de la Vida Real for Episode Eyi (the number 3 in Nahuatl). Today, we will be talking all things food. TW/CW: food shaming, diet culture, fatphobia, exploitation of labor. What does it mean to actively decolonize, in particular decolonizing your diet? What about eliminating food waste by using a whole plant? Do you think about who harvested the "healthy" foods you eat? Vegans: We are coming for you. Listen all the way to the end for Remedios in the form of things to do when you get chile in your eye and more affirming pages to follow on IG. Enjoy!

Pialli everyone! Welcome back! In this episode, we talk about all things body: from clothing to consent, and the difference between body positivity and body liberation. How do we manifest joy with all of these beauty standards that are not realistic and are not centered in our ways? Stick around for our Remedios to find out our recommendations. Enjoy!

The Body is Not an Apology by Sonya Renee Taylor

Cualli tonalli! Welcome to the very first episode of Cosas de la Vida Real Podcast. In this episode, we will share the story behind our podcast name, and talk about the ways in which comedy is used to cut tension in media, specifically movies, to make white folks more "comfortable." At the same time, comedic relief should really be for people of Color. Stay tuned for our closing segment where we share some remedios/medicine to begin or add to your healing journey. Enjoy!
