This episode is a little different. I sat down with my kids and gave them the space to tell me what they remember, what they needed, and what they wish I knew.

Motherhood, healing, and some very honest conversations. 🥹

An anonymous Dear Mercy letter brings us into a conversation about old feelings, unexpected reconnections, complicated timing, and the difference between a real connection and an intense one.

Because sometimes the feelings ARE real but does that mean you’re supposed to act on them?

Grab your cafecito. ☕️ Let’s talk.

We grow up being taught so many things about love, emotions, gender roles, money, work, parenting, and what other people will think of us. But at some point… you start asking yourself: Do I actually believe this, or is this just what I was taught?

In Episode 5 of Dear Mercy, we’re talking about the beliefs we inherited, the ones we’re unlearning, and the ones we actually want to carry with us.

Some lessons shaped us. Some protected us. And some? Maybe they were never ours to begin with.

Grab your cafecito, get comfortable, and let’s talk. 🤎

Have you ever told someone what you needed, only to walk away wondering if maybe you were asking for too much?

In this episode of Dear Mercy, we’re talking about the difference between having standards and having unrealistic expectations and yes, we’re looking at both sides. Because sometimes the other person really isn’t giving you what you need, and sometimes we have to check ourselves too. 😭

We’re getting into needs vs. preferences vs. dealbreakers, love vs. compatibility, compromise vs. self-abandonment, and what happens when you’ve communicated the same need over and over again.

And I’m leaving you with one question

If this person never changed, would you still choose them?

Grab your cafecito. ☕️ This one might have you thinking about some shit. 😭

This week on Dear Mercy, we’re talking about the pressure to always look like we have it together even when we absolutely don’t. From pretending everything is fine, to being the strong one, to feeling like everyone else has life figured out except you.

We’re making room for the truth, sometimes we don’t know what we’re doing, we’re still figuring it out, and that’s okay. You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes, “I don’t know yet” is enough. 🤎

What happens when you spend so much time loving, caring for, and showing up for everyone else, that you forget to show up for yourself?

In this episode of Dear Mercy, we’re talking about the guilt that can come with saying no, setting boundaries, choosing yourself, and remembering that you are a person outside of all the roles you carry.

Grab your cafecito, get comfortable, my dear let’s talk. ☕️🤎 And remember this conversation isn’t just for women. It’s for anyone who’s ever poured so much into others that they forgot to save a little for themselves.

Welcome to the very first episode of Dear Mercy. I’m sharing why I created this space and what I hope it becomes. A place for real conversations about healing, self-love, relationships, motherhood, faith, personal growth, and everything in between. Dear Mercy isn’t just for women, it’s for anyone who needs a safe space for honest conversations and a reminder that you’re not alone.

Grab your cafecito and come sit with me. ☕️🤎

We have a lot to talk about.
