In this episode I reckon with loss and grief during difficult dates. I invite you to honor those we’ve lost with a tribute to the legacy they left behind. Los recordamos, los imitamos y los mantenemos vivos con el amor que no cesa de estar presente. ❤️

In this episode I invite you in on a dedication to my son. As a final reflection, I invite you to profess your love to your loved ones. Sin vergüenza y de todo corazón… I love you, my sunshine. It will always be difficult for me to write poetry for you because I feel my words are short. But that won’t stop me from trying to articulate the love you inspire in me. Te amo, mi corazoncito. ❤️

On this episode, I share 3 pieces of advice that I’ve learned in motherhood. 1) When you love and accept yourself, you are at a better place to do the same for your child. 2) It really does take a village. Embrace this. 3) Motherhood is what you make it. You become a good mom the day you define it for yourself… My hope is that you feel a bit of reassurance as you prepare. Recuerda— eres todo y tienes todo lo que ocupan. ☀️ Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):

A warm heavenly hug to my best friend and big sister. I love you Momma Nenny. And a tight embrace to my suegro, “Granpda Guero,” who is missed every single day. Lo queremos mucho. Lloramos porque los extrañamos, pero nos fortalecemos con ese mismo amor. ❤️ Music from Uppbeat (free for Creators!):

I share a brief overview of what my experience was like as a first generation college student. Platico sobre las batallas que tuve. I remind you that you can honor your parent’s dreams by forging your own. Lastly, I reflect on the pivotal role my immigrant parents played in my success.
