In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Cande from Siempre Evolving, a Latina life coach and blogger dedicated to self-development, spirituality, and conscious growth. Together, we unpack the deeply rooted narratives that push Latinas into hyper-masculine energy, often leading to burnout, unbalanced relationships, and emotional exhaustion.

Cande shares her transformative journey—from growing up with the belief that she should never rely on anyone, to navigating a long-term relationship where she carried the weight of hyper-independence. We dive into how childhood experiences shaped our ideas of self-worth, relationships, and financial security, and how stepping into our feminine energy isn’t about weakness—it’s about reclaiming balance, trust, and authenticity.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How generational beliefs around money and self-reliance impact Latina women
• The difference between wounded masculine energy and healthy masculine dynamics
• Recognizing trauma bonds and breaking free from cycles of over-functioning in relationships
• The importance of rest, reflection, and self-awareness in healing
• Why feeling “safe” is the foundation for true partnership and personal growth

Key Takeaways:

• You can be grateful and still ask for more—in relationships, in your career, and in life.
• Hyper-independence isn’t strength when it isolates you from genuine support.
• Healing requires pausing, reflecting, and allowing yourself to feel safe enough to receive.
