This is another unedited mini-episode! In this one you will hear an example of law of attraction and why sometimes you get more by doing less striving and more internal work. I talk about how to connect with someone you want to meet in a more natural way. I also give my reflections on how we can start thinking about how we can each use our talents to help the world become a better place. I also give updates on the pieces I published during Women's History month.

This episode is for all of the Ambi-cultural Americans trying to navigate their American and Latinx selves. Denise Soler Cox is a documentarian and co-founder of Project Enye. She travels all over the country collecting stories of first-generation Americans. In the second part of this conversation, we talk about being challenged for not being "American" enough or not being "Latinx" enough. We address being different at work, being called out for not speaking Spanish and how we transmit culture and deal with guilt around all these things. Learn the key differences between American and Latinx culture that are a source of internal conflict for first-generation Americans. Denise also shares why she wrote a guidebook to help the adult children of immigrants "Own Their Enye." Born in June Creative was proud to have been a part of the creation of this book! Finally, Betsy talks about the mental health toll that these things can take on us and why she shared her story in a recent piece.

Taking a break from the interviews for a quick check-in on how i'm navigating with comparisonitis and some tools that have helped me navigate the sense of #FOMO or shame that comes when we feel we aren't measuring up to others. I share books and a movie that helped me get some more clarity on this. I also talk about what's coming up on the show and some affirmations that i've found useful.

This week i'm coming to you with an Oscar's and movie themed episode! I invited movie critic, and writer Yolanda Machado to give us her take on the "Lady Bird" controversy. She wrote an article for Marie Claire titled, 'Lady Bird' Was Influenced by 'Real Women Have Curves' and No One Outside the Latinx Community Is Acknowledging It." The article was shared widely by people like Junot Diaz. We talk about the two films and why they are symptomatic of how Hollywood treats the stories of women of color. She also talks about how she got in the biz of writing about the biz, and her top films. Don't forget to rate, subscribe and review us on Itunes.
