2018 is here and its time to renew, re-focus and re-energize!

This month, we are all about self-improvement. For our first episode, we meet Muay Thai Fighter Carmen Corchado. Carmen talks to us about life lessons she learned in the ring and how she applies them to her daily life.

Thanksgiving and Black Fridays are not the only things happenings in the month of November. As college applications are due and seniors can eat their turkey knowing they did their best, I sit down with my cousin Jennifer and my brother Evellard as they speak about their first semesters in college. Jennifer, studying integrated neuroscience at Binghamton while Evellard studies psychology at Queens College, these two STEM students tell me about their college expectations and realities.

This very funny episode is brought to you all by my uncle Domingo. He makes the best mango margaritas and while doing so, he schools me in the art of drinking like a Dominican. Conducted totally in both Spanish and English, this episode gives you a sneak peak into my crazy Dominican family!

Domingo’s Mamajuana Recipe:

Besides collecting the appropriate branches, you will need:

Honey/Miel

Red wine/Vino

Cinnamon/ Canela

Raisins/ Pasas (optional)

Cure it for at least 2 months!

Domingo’s hungover cure called: Aguajil

After a night of drinking, you can wake up and make yourself the following:

Garlic/ajo

Cilantro

Boil and drink to relief symptoms. This is not just for headaches but the body ache that also comes from drinking.

Consult your doctor before drinking the aguajil.

And always: drink responsibly!

The holidays are just around the corner and so is the shopping season. On this episode I sit down with psychology student and friend Tiffany Camacho to speak about the psychology behind consumerism. We speak on marketing strategies advertizers use to lore us into shopping for what we dont need, the pressures of fitting in and creating a person around the items we buy, the values we place on items and emotional shopping. We also explore a few tips and tricks to think about and employ when you go shopping: "Do I really need this?"

Our last scary story in this series for 2017!

This week, I'm so thankful to my friend Jayra who joined me and my sick voice as we told and discussed the Latin American legend of El Cuco. We found the origin story (from Spain) but we definitely added our own Dominican point of view.
