In this episode, my brother Alejandro joins me to talk about our childhood. We share stories about how many times we moved and how many different schools we had to attend. Having to walk to school at a very young age, earliest memories, and pretty much raising ourselves.

Later, the conversation turns to Alejandro’s struggles with drinking at a very young age. He opens up about the choices he made and the serious consequences that followed, including nearly $30,000 in restitution, fines, and fees. This is an honest story about hard lessons, accountability, and learning to make better choices.

In this episode, Jessenia shares her story with raw honesty.

She talks about being raised by teenage parents and growing up in a home filled with domestic violence, instability, and frequent moves. From childhood homelessness to never feeling fully settled, she explains how those early years shaped her personality and survival mindset.

We dive into her teenage years, early dating experiences, and how moving from San Diego to the Central Valley marked a major turning point. Becoming a young mother forced her to grow up quickly while still trying to find her identity.

Jessenia also opens up about marriage, emotional abuse, trauma bonding, and recognizing unhealthy relationship patterns. Most importantly, she shares how she began breaking those cycles.

This episode is about survival, self-awareness, and choosing healing.
