On this episode of Tamarindo Podcast, Ana Sheila and Brenda break down some of the most common #mindtraps or what we call mind “trampas”. We discuss the negative thought patterns that hold us back and what we can do when we catch ourselves in these spirals to release our inner #Cabrona (or Cabronx). We are putting  #genderedterms in the #basura and share the plans we have in the works for a #storytelling workshop with our friends at  #Latinaswhobrunch and the theatre company #Teatroluna. Stay tuned for more details!  Special thanks to our episode sponsor Fuchila Fresheners bringing you the extra #Latinx air fresheners including conchas, Frida and hot cheetos.  Use TAMARINDO20 for a special discount at checkout.

On this episode of Tamarindo Podcast, Ana Sheila and Brenda discuss what they are considering when it comes to #parenting. Ultimately, team tamarindo agrees it is a deeply personal decision, but we are opening up this dialogue to you all as we know you've come to love our genuine conversations even when they might be controversial. One thing is for sure, having children is expensive! We talk about some of the #financialtips to consider when you're about to take on that 250K+ expense. 

Before that, hear us rant about the  #cachetadas that the #Latinx community is starting 2020 with thanks to #basura such as #AmericanDirt and #TacoWood. Ana Sheila throws #wokeness in the basura and we cover some #Disney pluses and minuses as it relates to #diversity.

We are dropping this gem in your feed during our holiday break because we could not wait to share our fabulous conversation with Tanya Saracho! Tanya is a playwright and television writer who currently serves as creator, showrunner, and executive producer of the critically-acclaimed series “Vida” on Starz. Named one of “TV Scribes to Watch” by Variety in 2018, Tanya most recently received the Rising Star award at the Outfest Legacy Awards. “Vida” won the GLAAD Media Award for Outstanding Comedy Series, the series also won the Audience Award at the 2018 SXSW Film Festival, and made its season two premiere as an Official Selection of the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival. Honestly there were way more awards and honors I could have shared with you all. But Basically, Tanya is a boss and in addition to Vida, she’s got a few other things cooking that maybe she’ll speak to a little later.  She’s originally from Sinaloa, Mexico and grew up along the Texas border. She now lives here in Los Angeles and we are so grateful she took the time to tell us more about her career and what's in store for season three of VIDA!

On this special musical episode of Tamarindo, we have not one, but two very talented #WOC artists that are blending genres, while honoring their R & B roots to create some beautiful sounds.
Before we get to our interviews with our special guests Abrina and Malia, we reflect on the #Urban Latinx music takeover that is fully entrenching itself in mainstream American culture at the moment. We also throw a few Latinx songs in the basura that we think are a little tooo played out. Let us know if you agree with us or what you would put in the basura instead!
About our guests: 

El #Estres! On this episode of Tamarindo, Ana Sheila talks to us about what #stress is really.  We learn why stress is not ALL bad but why it’s also more harmful than we think. Chronic stress is actually linked to the 6 leading causes of death. 
Many of the stressors our communities face like financial or familial stress are not ones we can easily change without policy changes but Ana Sheila walks us through some of the things we CAN do to start changing our relationship with stress like changing our #mindset and discovering our #energychupacabras so that we can keep doing impactful work for our communities. 
We include a technique used by the stress management company @Baskandbeing. You can learn more about them here https://baskandbeing.com/
