Latinas Power Talk

In this episode, we’re talking about the things we were never allowed to talk about growing up. Sex. Shame. “Being a good girl.”

And the truth is… a lot of what we were taught was wrong. We were taught to be careful… but never taught the truth. We dive into the reality of growing up Latina, without proper sex education.

This is the conversation we should’ve had years ago.

Elvira Gutiérrez shares her story as a mom raising a child with autism, building a business selling artesanías sourced directly from México, and staying deeply connected to her cultura.

We talk about patience, growth, and embracing every stage of life, including stepping into her señora era while still feeling young and vibrant.

Through it all… she stayed rooted in who she is. Al final del día, cultura over everything.

Helen Ochoa opens up about the side of the music industry no one talks about — toxic management, being controlled, losing herself, and hitting a breaking point.

We talk about walking away (more than once), choosing herself, and how faith completely changed her path.

10 years later… she’s finally doing it on her own terms.

Season 3 is HERE and we’re starting off with a conversation that feels like a FaceTime with your bestie.

This week on Latinas Power Talk, I’m sitting down with Iris Arellano — aka your “20 something señora bestie” — and we’re getting into EVERYTHING.

From walking away from her full-time job to go all in on content creation, to landing brand deals, building a community, and embracing her inner señora (yes… in her 20s), Iris keeps it real about what this journey actually looks like behind the scenes.

We also get into the question we’re all lowkey asking ourselves…

are we becoming our moms?!

If you’ve ever thought about quitting your job, starting your platform, or just feel like you’re entering your señora era a little earlier than expected… this one’s for you.

Season Finale. The group chat has officially entered the chat.

This week, I sat down with three of my closest friends for the most unfiltered, chaotic, and weirdly educational girl chat of the entire season.

We get into everything:

• The 4 steps to get men to do literally anything (yes… we said it out loud)

• Pregnancy stories and the real fears no one talks about

• Why our timelines look nothing like generations before us

• The pressure to “have it all” by 30

• Pop culture chaos, celebrity tea, and the hot takes we probably shouldn’t have recorded

Raw. Hilarious. Relatable. The perfect finale to close out Season 2.

Grab a snack, pour a drink, and welcome to the episode that genuinely feels like a night with your best friends.

What does it really take to represent an entire state — culture, beauty, leadership, confidence and all?

This week on Latinas Power Talk, we sit down with Carolina Quintero, Miss Arizona Latina 2025, for an unfiltered conversation about the realities behind the sash.

We talk about the moments people don’t see. The pressure of carrying our comunidad with grace and navigating expectations, criticism, and self-doubt.

Carolina opens up about faith, family, identity, and the purpose behind the pageant world.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to walk in a queen’s shoes — this is your episode.

Comedian Xazmin Garza has performed from New York to HBO’s Comedy Chingonas, and she’s not afraid to say what everyone else is thinking. In this episode, we talk about cancel culture, why audiences are harder to please than ever, and the unspoken truth about being a woman in a male-dominated industry.

We also get into the real side of being a Latina in comedy, navigating politics on stage, and finding your people in a world where everyone’s quick to be offended.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s really like to make people laugh for a living — this episode is your backstage pass.

Veronica Lopez is one of Arizona’s most in-demand stylists, dressing influencers, entrepreneurs, and everyday women who want to look like THAT girl.

In this episode, we talk about the styling secret that changes her clients’ CONFIDENCE instantly, why she refuses to let women play small and ... Fashion icks on a first date (yes, we’re talking $600 slides).

We also play Wear It, Borrow It, Burn It with celebrity red carpet looks… and let's just say this A-lister didn’t make the cut!

If you’re a fashion lover, a style beginner, or a woman trying to feel more confident in her own skin – this episode is your new mood board.

When life changed overnight, Crystal Bedoya chose to share her story instead of hiding it.

After being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Crystal built a platform that’s now inspiring thousands to see strength in vulnerability. From being featured in Vogue to redefining what it means to live with a chronic illness, she’s on a mission to make the invisible, visible.

In this episode, we talk about:

-Finding out she had MS — and what that moment felt like

-Navigating identity, health, and self-love while living with a chronic condition

-How she continues to travel, stay active, and inspire the community through her content

This is one of the most honest conversations we’ve ever had — one that reminds us that resilience isn’t about pretending to be okay, it’s about finding purpose in every chapter.
