Bienvenidos to our third episode of our Chingadera Series!

It’s our Halloween special! In this episode we will spill the tea on La Llorona thanks to Adri. Generations of Mexican children have grown up afraid of La Llorona. Will you be afraid of her too? 
Gaby will also spill the tea on famous Mexican Gods. We've always heard about Greek Gods and now it's time to learn about our Mexican Gods.

Ni de aquí ni de allá, in this episode Adri and Gaby discuss the challenges they have faced when it comes to  self identity. They resonate with ni de aquí ni de allá, neither from here or from there. In their discussion they break down societal roles, social pressures, family and how those all have shaped their outlook and how they see themselves. They also touch on one of their favorite podcasts, Latinos Who Lunch, and how that has helped them this past year while navigating isolation and feeling seen. 

Adri discusses and recommends a new movie that is now released, In the Heights. Gaby has a big announcement on the release of her new blog and instagram that goes into her journey with mental health. 

Grab your cup of tea amigas and don't miss out on this episode that sets us up for our special guest in Episode 9!
