In this transformative episode, Santi and Juan Carlos welcome Cynthia Flores, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, to discuss the impact of machismo on our lives, relationships, and communities. We delve into the roots of machismo, the importance of loyalty to our cultural heritage, and the need to redefine masculinity in a more inclusive and healthy way. Cynthia shares her expertise on the delicate balance between masculine and feminine energies, the role machismo plays in our families, and how we can celebrate masculinity without perpetuating harmful stereotypes. We also explore the power of vulnerability and the importance of creating safe spaces for emotional expression. Cynthia provides practical tools and strategies for practicing vulnerability and fostering healthy communication in our relationships. Join us on our journey to break the chains of machismo and become better men for ourselves and our communities
