It’s crazy the power given to hair in our cultures and society. 

In this episode, We talk about hair and the connection between hair and identity.

We share about our curly hair journey, how we finally me embraced it and the level of patience it takes. Fun fact: only 11% of people have curly hair 

How we as women, hide who we truly are because we want to fit in #corporateamerica. Can you believe, we never would go on job Interviews with our natural curly hair! 

We also talk about the Dominican culture and how straight hair has been a symbol of beauty in Dominican culture. But thankfully that's beginning to change!

This was a such a fun episode. We hope you enjoy it. Remember, embrace your uniqueness and the hair God gave you!

Welcome to the level up Querida podcast!

If you see some older episodes with a different name, Pure Motherhood Uncensored, don’t be confused. In the past few years we had a different business and in the past few months we decided to shift our business. Cheers to the new! 

There’s so much valuable information in our first season so we decided to keep it on there. If you want to hear more about how we got to this place, listen to episode 13 from Season 1.

So with that said, we rebranded the podcast YAY! It's way more aligned with our true passions. This podcast is dedicated to our Latina mothers in business and honestly just any woman who wants to level up their life, level up their business and level up in motherhood.

In this last episode of 2022, we leave you with this cliff hanger (not on purpose).

Listen in, as we talk about our recent discovery about our business, about each other and what the future holds (you’ll hear more about what lights us up individually). These revelations all happened within the last month and was all orchestrated by God. This was a very nerve wrecking but also exciting episode. We are SO thankful for all the challenges and sucky times of 2022 because it all got us to this amazing place.

We hope you have an amazing end of 2022 and that you can sit still for a moment and also reflect on your year, all the good and bad.

If you listened In, we mentioned Aki, quite a few times and how much he helped us personally and in our business. If you’re interested in working with him, check him out here.
