Happy Wine Wednesday! Thank you for tuning in to my first episode of 2023! Today is a solo episode and of course in light of the new year, I wanted to have a chat on new year's resolutions and basically the psychology behind people making new year's resolutions. I also include some Instagram interactions where I asked my foxy's what their new year resolutions were. Finally, of course I didn't forget about the wine segment this week. The wine lesson and pairing this week also goes with the "new year, new me" attitude by having some vegan chardonnay. I talk a little bit on how vegan wine is made and explain how you can be more mindful on choosing the right wine that is sustainably made and fits with your lifestyle.

Happy wine Wednesday! Today is part two of our conversation with my anonymous guest with the alias "Mr Wilson Creek". It's time to get spicy! He gets into the topic of poppers and bathhouses, including his personal experiences with the two. He ends off the episode with his thoughts on being gay and Latino, and how that has affected his relationships among his religious family members. There's mentions of machismo, being accepted and religion. Also.... he just nonchalantly mentioned an exorcism like nothing???? LMAO trust you need to listen to know what I am talking about. He gets real deep today so I hope you enjoy today's episode and appreciate his vulnerability as much as I did.

Happy wine Wednesday! Today I have a very special guest who will remain anonymous, however they brought so much light and funniness into our conversation that it had to be turned into a two-parter. Today for part one we sit down and have a glass of a very interesting wine I never heard of until now: a white cabernet sauvignon! My guest also loves to talk about wine so we chat a bit about our experiences wine tasting, as well as some embarrassing drunk stories. Then my guest wanted to take some time to debunk some myths about the gay community, since he identifies as a gay man. This episode is full of fun, laughter and deep insights so I hope you enjoy today's episode and tune in next week to hear part 2, where we get more into the gay community and how it intersects with Latinidad.

Happy Wine Wednesday! Today I have a very exciting and festive solo episode that I really hope you enjoy and can put to use for your next Christmas movie wine night. Today I give tips and examples of pairing wine with different cheeses for your next holiday charcuterie board (or as I like to call it, char "coochie" board lol). I talk about different types of cheeses from creamy Brie to funky goat cheese, and try to recommend specific wines that can cater to any taste preferences. I end the episode by talking about some of my personal favorite Christmas movies which range from classics like Home Alone 2, chaotic comedies like The Night Before, to new releases like Violent Night. Of course to make it fun I also pair each movie with a wine based on the aesthetic (which may or may not result in you blacking out or crying your eyes out... who knows). I hope you find this episode entertaining and try it at your next movie night!

*DISCLAIMER: There are talks about NSFW topics including sex work, listener discretion is advised

Happy wine Wednesday! This week I have a conversation with Christina Salazar on her experience getting into sex work and how it's like being a plus size model. We get deep into details that include cosplay, owning your sexuality, as well as setting boundaries. She also wanted to share her thoughts on society's ideals for women and having children (spoiler alert, she doesn't want any!). It gets pretty risque this week so feel free to skip if it makes you uncomfortable (or just have it playing on mute so you can help me get listens LOL). We also jump into some tangent topics (BBLs, cocktails, etc.) but honestly those are fun too so I hope you enjoy today's episode!

Happy Holidays! With Thanksgiving literally tomorrow, I thought it was a great time to have a glass of wine and just talk about holiday anxiety and holiday stress. Similar to seasonal depression, I just never had the chance to actually talk about how holiday anxiety shows up or looks like in my life, so I hope you guys are ready for another venting session! lol. This week I talk about those pesky family members who we dread to see at Thanksgiving dinner, as well as my personal experiences and stress of people pleasing and dealing with a loss during the holidays. Holiday anxiety has many layers and you know what, it's okay. I am here for you, and even though my title makes light of the situation, if you really do feel like the holidays is a very stressful time, seek help where you feel the most comfortable! I hope you found this week's therapy session a good one and hope that it made you feel like I can be your friend to talk to :)

DISCLAIMER: I did not mention this in the episode because I am dumb, but I want to say I am not a medical professional. If you feel like you need help, seek professional advice or help this holiday season.

Today's episode is all about you! I literally just sit down and read your submissions that I received on Instagram on your hangover stories and hangover cures. I also of course talk about some stories of my personal hangover stories and cures. Things mentioned in stories include a fast speed train, blacking out at a wedding, and Jersey Mike's. Of course there's a wine tasting portion, which features a chardonnay and debunking a famous wine myth, but you can skip to 17 minutes to start hearing your submissions. These were all so fun to read so I hope you enjoy listening and remember to drink responsibly ;)

Happy wine Wednesday! Today, I am joined by my friend Janelli Vallin who is an advocate for sexual health and is a fellow Latina in the public health field. We get into a very engaging conversation about our personal experiences in the public health field, how we engage with others in the industry, and why it is important to be mindful of culture and have empathy when helping others. We both have similar passions of travel and sexual health, so I hope you find our conversation insightful and learned a thing or two on sexual health.

I am back this week for another solo episode! It's a spooky one this week, because I talk about saving money and budgeting *GASP*. Lol jk, but the thought of losing money or being broke scares me so I thought why don't I give some tips that helped me as a college student, but also are helping me right now as a post-grad 20 something. I also dive into a cool spooky wine pairing and give a cool mini wine lesson on pairing wine with halloween candy, just incase you wanted to give some of these a try at your next Halloween party. I hope you find these tips helpful and have a fun/safe Halloween season.

Hey beautiful! So no one told you life was gonna be this way? 

I am back this week with a solo episode, and I had an urge to just talk about my 2 favorite shows: How I Met Your Mother and Friends. I thought, well these shows tackled a lot of issues and topics related to being in your 20s and felt like I needed to share my perspective of them with you all. I hope you enjoy me rambling on about these two shows and how they relate to my own 20s experience. I talk about examples like Chandler/Marshall being unemployed, Barney/Robin/Lily/Monica having daddy& mommy issues, as well as the most common dilemma of going out with your friends... splitting the bill *GASP*.

This week's wine pairing is also a different one and relates to this week's mini wine lesson... a dessert wine! Yes, for all my sweet wine loving followers, this wine is a great one to try! It literally came straight from Greece as well. I go more into depth about the wine itself and how exactly dessert wines are made.
