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.

In this episode, I’m getting into the day-to-day shifts that have been helping me create a life that feels more aligned. We’re talking about therapy, communication, creativity, and the quiet habits that don’t always get seen, but make all the difference.

POV: You did the planning, set the goals… and your life still looks different than you expected. Same.  

In this episode, I’m talking about what it actually feels like to outgrow your own timeline, and how I’m learning to stop measuring my life by milestones that don’t reflect who I am anymore. We’re unpacking the pressure, the comparison, and the quiet wins that don’t make it to social media, but do change your life.

Expect:

✨ Why “feeling behind” might be a mindset shift

✨ Redefining success on your own terms

✨ Reminders you didn’t know you needed

If you’ve ever thought, “what the hell am I doing with my career?”, this is for you 🩵

No one really teaches you how to navigate the in-between… the part where you’re applying to jobs, second guessing yourself, and trying to make the “right” decision.

Instead of guessing your way through it, here’s a more grounded approach::

➡️ Treat your job search like a two-way street.

➡️ Pay attention to culture, not just titles.

➡️ Take advice, but don’t outsource your decision.

➡️ And maybe most importantly, stop assuming everyone else has it figured out.

This episode walks through how to navigate a career pivot or job search in a way that actually feels aligned, not rushed, not forced, not just “good on paper.”

If you’re feeling stuck, this might help you get clearer on your next step (even if it’s not the final one) ✨

Whether it’s spring or fall, a good spring cleaning sesh does the mind good. Or at least that’s my hot take. In today’s episode we share some highlights from a recent family trip to Mexico, and talk about how new seasons are a great opportunity for us to pause, practice being present, and check-in with ourselves.

Dearest Precisely Nowhere Listener,

In today’s episode, we’re chatting about inspiring women that I’ve come across through film, television, and literature. Stories that moved me, grounded me, and reminded me where I come from and what actually matters.

Consider this your curated watchlist (and read list), with a lot of spice. An episode full of culture, growth, and women who are navigating life (and messy moments), just like us.

March already?! This episode is about the art of saying no and why boundaries aren’t about doing less, they’re about building a life that actually supports your growth.

Last year, burnout forced me to pause. This year, I’m choosing intention. We’re talking about reframing “no” as a yes to yourself, plus practical ways to set boundaries in relationships, work, and your social life (without guilt or overexplaining).

I’m also reflecting on a powerful line from Kathleen Griffith’s article “Walking the Site Before You Add Another Floor”: “I was building floors on a foundation that was already cracking.” It’s a reminder that growth doesn’t work when the foundation isn’t solid.

Before asking what you want to achieve this year, ask yourself: What kind of foundation are you building? 

If you’re unlearning hustle culture, protecting your energy, and learning that “no” is a full sentence, this episode is for you.

I’m on team humanity. As a first generation Latina with friends as diverse as they come, I stand with immigrants, LGBTQIA+, women, people who are facing injustices and discrimination for being alive. There’s no simpler way to put it, we need to abolish and defund ICE, take action to protect each other, and demand action from our representatives to protect us.
