  • What If We’re Already Living the Good Old Days?

    What if you're already living a part of your life that future you is going to look back on and call the good old days?

     

    Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about perspective, and how easy it is to miss the life we’re actually living while we’re busy planning the next chapter. Between cozy fall nights, Ghosts, reality TV chaos, and trying to protect my energy, I’m asking myself: what would it look like to actually slow down and be here for it?

     

    In this episode, I’m getting a little existential (in the least dramatic way possible) about slowing down, making room for creativity, and appreciating the tiny everyday things that might mean a lot more to future us than we realize.

     

    Maybe the goal isn’t to have everything figured out. 

    Maybe it’s to actually be here for it. 🫶🏽

     

    So grab your cafecito, light the fall candle, and come hang. 💃🏽

    • Touching Grass, Literally: My Mom's John Muir Trail Story

      What happens when you step away from your phone, your routine, and pretty much everything familiar for 3 1/2 weeks?

       

      For Hispanic / Latin Heritage Month, I’m sitting down with my mom to hear about her experience hiking the John Muir Trail, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure that took her into the wilderness and wayyy outside her comfort zone. She went solo, but as part of a group, backpacked for weeks, had limited access to technology, and came home with a whole lot of stories (and probably a new appreciation for a hot shower 😂).

       

      Grab your cafecito and come hear what three and a half weeks in the wilderness taught my mom. 🥾🌲✨

      • The Music That Raised Us: DJ LAFLOR on Culture, Creativity & Finding Your Way Home

        To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I’m spotlighting women who are creating community, reconnecting with their roots, and making space for the things that light them up.

         

        This week on Precisely Nowhere, I’m joined by Sabrina Cerquera, aka LAFLOR, a first-gen Colombian-Miamian vinyl selector, DJ, and radio host based in Portland. By day, Sabrina works at a nonprofit, and in her spare time, she’s collecting records, sharing music, and creating spaces for people to connect.

         

        We’re talking culture, identity, creativity, and making room for the things that feel like you… even when they’re not your 9–5.

         

        Grab your cafecito and come hang. 💃🏽

        • Redefining Success as Latina Women (with Carol Roque)

          To celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month, I wanted to spotlight women who are building beautiful things, creating community, and redefining success in ways that feel authentic to them. 

           

          This week, I’m joined by Carol Roque, founder of She is Limitless.

           

          Carol’s mission is to empower women to step into their limitless power & magic. She supports them to be unapologetically confident & proud of their individuality.

          • Choosing Your Own Adventure (Purpose, Free Will & September Intentions)

            September always feels a little like back-to-school season for adults.

             

            In this solo episode, I'm reflecting on what a recent trip to Italy reminded me about purpose, possibility, and the life we're building while we're busy chasing the next milestone. I'm also sharing a simple free will challenge that's been living rent-free in my head, and a manifestation exercise that's helping me reconnect with old dreams.

             

            We'll talk about growth, gratitude, and the small choices that quietly shape our lives.

             

            Plus: Survivor, The Amazing Race, and a little inspiration for whatever chapter you're stepping into next.

             

            So grab your cafecito, take a deep breath, and let's kick off September together.

            • Building a Personal Brand Without Losing Yourself (with Jayde I. Powell)

              What does it actually mean to show up authentically online?

               

              This week, I'm joined by social media strategist, creatorpreneur, and founder of the em dash co, Jayde Powell. While many people know Jayde for her thoughtful takes on social media, branding, and the creator economy, this conversation goes far beyond content creation.

               

              We chat about identity online, the pressure to be palatable, building community, protecting parts of your life from becoming content, and learning to trust your own internal compass. Whether you're a creator, entrepreneur, or simply navigating who you're becoming, this conversation is full of thoughtful insights, honest reflections, and a few laughs along the way.

               

              In this episode:

              ➡️Showing up authentically online

              ➡️Building community vs. building an audience

              ➡️Boundaries, burnout, and protecting your peace

              ➡️Trusting yourself and your next chapter

              • Healing, Chaos & Simple Ways to Have a Gentle Reset

                This episode is basically your reminder that you do not need to reinvent your entire life to feel better. We’re entering August softly over here 🍃

                 

                In this solo episode, I’m sharing:

                ➡️ my August intentions

                ➡️ how I’m approaching a gentle reset before fall

                ➡️ taking creative breaks without guilt

                ➡️ spending more time outside

                ➡️ filling my cup again

                ➡️ resetting my energy instead of my identity

                 

                Plus: healing and chaotic TV recommendations.

                 

                If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in “I need to fix my life” mode… this one’s for you.

                • Ditching Comfort for Growth (A 3-Year-Old Time Capsule)

                  A little accidental time capsule moment. ✨

                   

                  After accidentally unpublishing this episode while updating podcast artwork (very humbling), I decided to repost this mini episode from August 2023 instead of pretending the human error never happened.

                   

                  In this reflection series episode, we talk about ditching comfort for growth, embracing change, and learning how to trust yourself through life transitions, even when everything feels uncertain.

                   

                  Listening back three years later feels equal parts cringe, nostalgic, and weirdly beautiful.

                   

                  From episode 26 to episode 120… thank you for growing alongside me. 💭

                  • Overconsumption, Hot Takes & Learning to Pay Attention Again (with Amanda Schaufele)

                    Bravery. Overconsumption. Mental breakdowns in foreign places. The pressure to always have a take on everything. Learning how to actually sit with yourself. Yeah… we accidentally went there today. ✨

                     

                    This week, I’m joined by my friend Amanda Schaufele for a conversation about what it means to study your life instead of just speeding through it.

                     

                    We talk about:

                    📱 overconsumption, attention spans & the exhaustion of constant opinions

                    🏡 what people’s homes, routines, and environments quietly reveal about them

                    🌍 how travel, relationships, and unfamiliar places change who we are

                    🤍 and what happens when you slow down long enough to actually notice your own life again

                     

                    If your brain has felt overstimulated, emotionally avoidant, or just chronically online lately… this episode is for you.

                      Your girl accidentally spent a Saturday living in a Pinterest board.

                       

                      This week, I'm sharing highlights from the very first Afterglow Social Wellness Club event in Riverside, California. A day filled with Pilates that humbled me, cold plunges that tested me, community, and a reminder that sometimes the best things happen when we say yes to new experiences.

                       

                      We're also chatting about adult friendships, taking care of our brains and bodies, speaking more Spanish, and a few of my current hyperfixations. Plus, I share my latest thoughts on Euphoria and Love on the Spectrum.

                       

                      So grab your cafecito, head out for a walk, or romanticize your commute, and let's hang out.
