In episode 357 of Level Up Latina, we’re talking about the family rituals, traditions, and unspoken norms that shape who we are.

From the things we proudly carry forward to the patterns we’re ready to question or leave behind (think: yelling), we unpack how we are setting a new way of life for our families, parenting, and everyday lives. What do we keep, what do we change, and what new traditions are we creating for the next generation?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about job loss and the unexpected lessons that can come with it. Our careers are an important part of our lives, but they are not our identities. Still, it’s easy to get so wrapped up in a title or role that we forget who we were before we got there and everything we’ll take with us when we leave.

We reflect on navigating career transitions, separating your worth from your work, and celebrating the wins, growth, losses, and lessons along the way.

Whether you’ve experienced job loss, are considering a career change, or simply need a reminder that you are so much more than what you do for a living, this episode is for you.
