Gabriela Bandy is an established entrepreneur who has mastered content creation and is now transitioning into being an artist, using lessons learned on social media to drive her passion for music, dabbling in different genres as she finds her sound. The story of her family and her life is a story of immigration, and Gabriela talks about her experience with moving around different parts of the US and building a business for herself. We get into some fun topics like destination weddings, living in California, and learning to filter outside voices in order to follow your gut. We’re so excited to see what she comes up with next!

This episode was a JOURNEY fam. Music executive & founder of the Global Tumbao DJ collective, Albert Piedrahita, talks us through his various perspectives on the current Latin music landscape (and his dream collaboration!). We also discuss the challenges of being vulnerable as a Latino man and how the process of healing from adversity and loss can lead to a deeper relationship with ourselves. Albert is a community builder, and after you listen to this episode, you’ll understand why he’s been so successful in bringing people together.

This week’s guest: YOU. Our mid-year Q&A is here, and y’all did not disappoint with these questions. You went to the deep stuff, and we love it. Thati answers listeners about work burnout, cultural taboos we can dispel about Latinidad, some of her attempts at an acting career, and more!

This has been a long time coming, fam. Our friend Michelle Disla, formerly Big Mama Cooks, talks about her social media rebrand after the pandemic, and how sometimes the algorithm can pigeonhole you into doing the same thing over and over again to keep that engagement up. She shared a lot of insights about how gaining social media fame can be used to make people happy and make an impact. We also get into some fun topics like social media comments and the secret (or not so secret) tricks we do to get our friends to leave our house party when we’re tired and ready for bed.

Give it up for stand-up comedian, actor, and writer Carlos Hernandez. This episode takes us through the ever-present experience surrounding bicultural and bilingual comedy, and navigating multicultural spaces as Latine immigrants. Carlos and Thati talk about using difficult moments, and turning them into comedy, creating opportunities to talk about touchy political subjects in this current climate, and being affectionate with our Latino dads. And yes, we’re talking about Labubus again.

Tulio is back! After some months away, our producer Tulio joins Thatiana back in the studio for a quick kiki. We are already halfway through the year so we thought we’d check in with you** and with each other (aww 🥹) and talk about the highs and the lows of 2025 so far, the music we’ve listened to, and really some of the weirdest cultural events we’ve seen in our lifetime including but not limited to the truly bizarre Labubu trend. **Special shout out to Bad Bunny, and we’ll be a little thirsty and manifest he comes to the pod!**

Actress, singer, writer, and director Florencia Cuenca joins us for a very fun conversation about dog parents, spoiling TV shows, why we need to drop the expectation that women have to know how to cook, and the current state of Latine representation in media and live shows. We discuss her Broadway debut in the new hit, "Real Women Have Curves," and what it means to be a Mexican immigrant in the theater community.

Disclaimer: The episode was filmed before the announcement of the Broadway show ending its run. The final week ends on 6/29, so if you’re in NYC, go see it before it closes!

Stand-up comedian and podcast host Ian Lara joins Thati in a long-awaited meetup (he was going to be one of our first guests, but the snowstorm of 2024 changed our plans!). We talk about Ian’s upbringing and how that has informed his comedic style, the industry pressures to act a certain way or talk about “Latino things”, drinking etiquette, and the current state of cancel culture. Ian also teased his upcoming comedy special, which will be released soon, so definitely follow him!

Self-proclaimed ex-girlboss and entrepreneur Lissette Rios joins Thatiana for an emotional rollercoaster, ranting against corporate-speak, stepping away from the “girlboss” mentality, and how the late 90s/early 2000s narrative about “having it all” put a lot of professional women in a box. Lissette talks through the many ups and downs of entrepreneurship, and we’re especially grateful for her vulnerability as she shares her experience with fertility issues and making some tough choices along the way.

Dietitian and author of The Latina Anti-Diet, Dalina Soto, joins the pod to go into some dieting myths and the history of how Latinos eat. She shares her journey as a registered dietitian and speaks in a very approachable way when it comes to dieting culture, which has been resonating a lot with her audience. We talk overrated food trends, the unwarranted criticism of rice in allegedly healthy diets, and the chaos of latino family meals. There’s a stigma around “ethnic” foods that paints them as “unhealthy,” and it’s total BS. Also, Dalina talks about being a Philly girl and how she doesn’t care if people don’t like Philly.
