In this mini episode, we chew on the following quote: "Satisfaction is the state of awareness when your happiness is sustainable." (Original quote by @shrimpteeth on Instagram)

The "Season of Giving" is upon us. For some of us, the most wonderful time of the year can also be the most stressful. Even if you are an excellent gifter, sometimes, we all give a little too much. Des and Em reflect on how not to let one month undo a whole year of growth.

About Mejor Sola: Des and Em are two Latinx female-identifying storytellers who love deeply...and have had their hearts broken by others. Growing up, there are frameworks for love that are heavily shaped by machismo, religion, culture, and tradition. This kind of love is tied to sacrifice and service. Learning love in this way has made it extremely challenging to make space for self-love and platonic love - love that fuels us and brings us joy and not simply for others. Love for ourselves. Most of all, a love that does not require self-sacrifice in order to be celebrated. Intro and outro music is “Little Latin Jazz” by oymaldonado.

Our mini episode series is back as we tackle the following quote: "You are allowed to grieve the things that you had to release to end the cycles that tried to break you." 

We're back at it because normal is elusive AF this year. Also, can friendships actually be situationships?? Des and Em go on a roller coaster to figure out if we're doing this friend thing right.

A new mini episode series so you can get your Mejor Sola fix every week. In this first edition, we discuss the quote "You cannot heal in the same environment that made you sick."

"Normal" in regular times is a social construct. "Normal" during a pandemic is nonexistent, right? Des and Em kick off the second season of Mejor Sola with a grappling dialogue about what we are willing to normalize and what we're not.

Amores, it’s the end of season one of Mejor Sola and we are closing it out with some of our faves! Join Des and Em as they invite Seb and Yaz from Café con Chisme to talk about their friendship, what it means to be anti-black, how to be an ally to our black siblings, and what they are doing to practice self-preservation.
