Growing up with a Colombian mom in Maryland, Alejandra then moved to Miami with an ex-boyfriend. After an early breakup, she found herself trapped in a negative spiral.

Alejandra didn't know or grow up with her biological father. However once in Miami, she decided to look for him and happened to find him... in Miami. She has since met her biological half-brothers and the other side of her family.

Alejandra then explains to us why she decided to quit her job and everything else to go backpacking in Latin America for a few months.

Another huge part of Alejandra's life is to help women of color in their search for better jobs and equal rights. Alejandra talks to us about where her passion for helping minority women started and where she hopes to go in the future.

She is a strong woman with amazing goals and aspirations in life who has overcome some struggles but uses these times to push forwards with her mission.

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, so we decided to record a 4 part series to share our own personal story.

Since 2016, we (Rosie & Jeremie) have had 4 pregnancies, all of which ended with a loss. All 4 of them were very different in many ways but ultimately had the same result.

The 4th & final part of this special series. Moving to Miami has been really good for us, and after a few months, we emotionally recovered. Life was good, and after a while, we felt we were both ready to try again.

However, things didn't go as planned. In November 2019, Rosie had a miscarriage whilst on vacation in Cuba, then again in April 2020, Rosie had a missed miscarriage during Lockdown & Covid. These were both totally different from each other and also very different from the 1st one.

Grab onto your tissues for this final part.

Since 2016, we (Rosie & Jeremie) have had 4 pregnancies, all of which ended with a loss. All 4 of them were very different in many ways but ultimately had the same result.

During this 3rd episode of the series, we cover the funeral & the months after the abortion. Dealing with depression, having suicidal thoughts, going back to work, seeing friends having kids, etc.

Once again, we both dealt with the aftermath in totally different ways. So we both share our experiences, feelings & emotions.

We also take time to talk about all the triggers, the reminders in our society that constantly remind us about what happened. A lot of little things you only notice when such a tragedy happens to you.

Once again, thank you for listening, grab some tissues and listen to our story.

Since 2016, we (Rosie & Jeremie) have had 4 pregnancies, all of which ended with a loss. All 4 of them were very different in many ways but ultimately had the same result.

In this 2nd part, we focus on the abortion itself. We go into detail about what actually happened on the day and how it happened. We do our best to describe how it felt and what was going on, physically & emotionally. Both Jeremie & Rosie experienced the exact same thing, but had very different experiences and in this episode we talk about how it felt for both of us in this situation. We discuss the differences between being the woman physically having the abortion and the man watching his wife have an abortion. It's a complex topic but we tried our best to be as open and honest as possible.

We also share about the days after, planning the funeral, going home, dealing with family, and the day of the funeral too.

Grab some tissues and listen to our story.

Since 2016, we (Rosie & Jeremie) have had 4 pregnancies, all of which ended with a loss. All 4 of them were very different in many ways but ultimately had the same result.

In this first part, we go through the first 2 pregnancies. Our first experience was an early miscarriage at 5 weeks. Then a few months later, while we were pregnant again we found out that our baby boy had a rare genetic disorder. We had to make the heartbreaking choice to end the pregnancy and have a late-term abortion at 26 weeks.

Iking didn’t have a typical upbringing. At the age of 3, his stepdad moved in with his mom & siblings and that’s when things changed forever.

He was taken out of school, was forced to move and leave the rest of his family behind. Then for the next 19 years of his life, he was kept inside to “protect him” from dangerous people outside.

At the age of 22, he left this toxic environment to start his life with a brand new chapter.

Iking discusses openly & honestly about growing up with an abusive & controlling parental figure, how he taught himself from his room and how his life is so vastly different now.

It’s an incredible story of resilience, bravery and hope.

In today's episode, we welcome our friend Kevin Sanchez.

Kevin was born in California but grew up mostly in Nicaragua. During the first half of the show, he shares with us about life in the poorest country in Central America, studying medicine.

We then move forward to his current work in Miami as a behavior analyst. Kevin now helps children with mental disabilities like autism and down-syndrome. He teaches them how to learn some basic skills to better navigate their lives. He also works with the parents so they can understand how to communicate with their children and be a better help in their future.

This is a fascinating episode, about a country and a job that we don't hear about very often.

We really hope you enjoy it.

Every week, Cathrin provides tons of information to her audience on how to start & grow on YouTube as a hobby or career. Cathrin shares monthly analytic reports, so if you ever doubted if YouTube can be a full-time job, you should go and watch some of these videos!!
