This episode was quite literally detoured by God.

What was supposed to be about Franceli Chapman_Varela's debut book of poetry Between Spaces became a soulful conversation about faith, identity, resistance, and trusting the path you never planned.

I hope you love this conversation as much as I did. It was so good for my soul.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Erica Montes, OB-GYN and one of the relatively few Latina physicians in the country, to talk about what every woman deserves to know—but so many of us were never taught.

We cover:

• What perimenopause actually is (and how early it can start)
• The symptoms no one talks about
• Why hormone therapy got such a bad reputation
• Who is (and isn't) a candidate for treatment
• How to advocate for yourself if your doctor dismisses your symptoms
• Why these conversations matter even more in the Latina community

If you've been thinking, "I just don't feel like myself anymore," this episode is for you.

Sometimes the greatest act of courage is telling the truth. Yona Deshomme opens up about addiction, cancer, and the long road back to herself. This conversation is raw, hopeful, and a reminder that healing rarely happens all at once—but it's always possible.

You've asked where the memoir is... so here's the story.

I'm taking you behind the scenes of my publishing journey, the rejection that challenged me, and why I believe this season isn't about forcing the outcome—it's about building what comes next.

What if the biggest thing holding you back is a story that's been passed down to you?

In this episode, I sit down with filmmaker, speaker, and author of What Will They Say?, Denise Soler Cox, for a conversation about identity, worth, and the unspoken beliefs so many of us inherit—especially as Latinas. We talk about qué dirán, why we shrink ourselves, and what it takes to finally choose our own path instead.

This one felt less like an interview and more like two women figuring it out together. I have a feeling you'll see a little bit of yourself in it, too.

What happens when the job, the relationship, or the identity you've built your life around disappears?

In this episode, former NBC executive Traci Saulsberry shares her journey of losing the titles that defined her, learning who she was beyond achievement, and discovering that sometimes you don't have to leave your life to find yourself. We talk about identity, perfectionism, grief, reinvention, and the courage to start over—right where you are.

What if the biggest thing standing between you and financial freedom is the story you've been telling yourself?

In this episode, author of The Rich Hermana: A First-Gen Guide to Money, Mindset, and Wealth (No Matter Where You Started) joins me to talk about rewriting your money story.

We discuss money mindset, breaking generational patterns, overcoming financial shame, and building a healthier relationship with wealth.

Episode Description

Nicole Eggert grew up in the spotlight and we know her from some of the most popular shows in the 80s and 90s like Charles in Charge and Baywatch.

In this episode, Nicole joins me for an honest conversation about growing up in Hollywood, her breast cancer diagnosis, navigating breast reconstruction, and the realities of facing the disease as a single mom. We talk about motherhood, resilience, and finding moments of humor along the way.

It's a candid, heartfelt conversation that reminds us that even in life's toughest seasons, there's still room for laughter. 💛

For our premiere episode, I sit down with media personality, founder of Wordaful, and No Room for Small Talk creator Liz Hernandez for a conversation about the power of words, grief, reinvention, and learning to trust yourself again.

We talk about leaving the corporate grind, taking leaps of faith, and why vulnerability might actually be the thing that sets us free instead of breaking us apart.

Honestly… this one feels like sitting down with a wise friend and talking about the stuff we’re usually too busy or too scared to say out loud.

Takeaways

• Self-discovery through grief
• Empowerment through vulnerability Grief is a lifelong journey
• Creating a safe space for sharing and healing
