Dear Babygurl: Notes on Life, Leadership, and Liberation

EPISODE 1: The Story Behind Dear Babygurl
Welcome to the very first episode of Dear Babygurl: Notes on Life, Leadership & Liberation.

This is the origin story—the why behind the mic.

This episode is for my niece, Lianna, who just became the second woman in our family to graduate from a four-year university. It’s for my younger self, who had to navigate so much with so little roadmap. And it’s for you—the brilliant, big-hearted, queer, BIPOC, first-gen soul learning to live and lead on your own terms.

In this episode, I share:
🌺 What it means to carry a legacy and rewrite it at the same time
🛠️ How 16+ years of coaching and therapy work have shaped the stories and tools I’ll share with you
🔥 And why it’s time we told our stories in our own voices—with tenderness, truth, and a little bit of side-eye

This isn’t just a podcast. It’s a love letter. A balm. A place to rest and rise.

Every episode is rooted in lived experience, ancestral wisdom, and the hundreds of coaching and therapy conversations I’ve held with women of color, LGBTQ+ leaders, first-gen changemakers, and visionaries like you.

Whether you're breaking cycles, setting boundaries, recovering from burnout, or dreaming a new life into being—I'm so glad you’re here.

Welcome to Dear Babygurl—a podcast rooted in life, leadership, and liberation.

In this trailer, I’m introducing the heart behind the show: a love letter to my niece, my Babygurl. This podcast is also dedicated to my younger self and to every brilliant, big-hearted, queer, BIPOC, first gen soul learning to live and lead on their own terms.

You’ll get a feel for what’s coming: bi-weekly episodes filled with truth-telling, tenderness, and tools to help you shed the “shoulds,” center your joy, and lead with intention.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re figuring it out as you go—this podcast is for you.

Come through for stories, metaphors, and the kind of real talk that feels like sitting on your comadre’s couch, wrapped in a warm rebozo, remembering who the hell you are.
