In this week’s episode, your LUL besties get real about what it actually takes to hold it together when the season gets too busy. We talk schedules, burnout, emotional labor, catholic guilt, and creating easier moments even when life is moving at full speed. We also share our own holiday struggles, wins, and the little rituals that keep us sane (or at least saner) in the midst of family dynamics, the school events, the travel, the budgets, the gifts, the end-of-year deadlines.

How are women expected to keep it cute, calm, and collected?!

Whether you’re juggling work, family, or your own expectations, this episode reminds you that you’re not alone and perfection is not the assignment.

Stream this one and let’s survive the holidays together… with a little humor, a little heart, and a whole lot of Level Up Latina energy.

The holidays bring out a lot... the joy, the chaos, the chisme… and sometimes the wounds we thought we outgrew. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about healing our inner niña during one of the most emotionally charged seasons of the year.

We unpack how childhood patterns show up around family gatherings, money, traditions, expectations, and those “¿y tu novio?” questions. We get honest about what triggers us, what comforts us, and how we can create new rituals that honor who we are now — not just who we had to be growing up.

Join us for a heartfelt and real conversation on giving ourselves permission to re-set, feel, set boundaries, and to show up with compassion for ourselves.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that healing is possible (even with tías asking for the 10th time about your life choices), this episode is for you.

Tune in, reflect, and maybe hug your inner niña a little tighter this season.

In this random episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we flipped the script and let our very own “Chata” (aka ChatGPT) take the lead and answered her questions about life, family, & growth.

Expect laughter, unexpected honesty, and some deep reflection as we talk about the things that make us proud, surprising things happening, generational patterns we’re breaking, and the version of ourselves we’re choosing to leave behind in 2025. 

It’s a little unfiltered, a little therapeutic, and a whole lot of real. Grab your cafecito and join the conversation... you might find yourself answering these same questions, too.

What are YOU ready to release in this season of your life?

Everyone’s talking about being in their “this era” or “that era,” but what about stepping into a soft era? In this week’s LUL podcast, we explore what it really means to embrace softness—guilt-free, without apologizing, and without confusing rest for laziness. Or as our mommas would say… being flojas. This is a cannot-miss-topic!

We are not doctors, of course, but we are women entering our mid-40s, and it's been a wild ride as our bodies and moods have evolved with age. We suspect perimenopause is here, so in this episode, with a bit of TMI, we share what's showing up for us these days. We cover it all from night sweats to laking libido and so much more. This is a show for everyone at any stage of life! 

Today’s episode title is a mouthful and for good reason. As first-gen Latinas, we’re parenting and reparenting every single day. We live in that in-between space: raised one way by our parents, yet raising our own kids in a completely different world.

There’s healing here. There’s unlearning. There’s love, and yes, sometimes tears. We open our hearts in this conversation, asking questions like: What does it mean to say “I’m sorry” while still waiting to hear it from our parents?

This one’s raw, real, and deeply relatable. We hope you’ll tune in to feel seen, maybe shed a tear (we sure did), and share in the beautiful mess of growing, healing, and breaking cycles... together.

In this episode, we bring you our monthly fan-favorite: the random show where we talk about whatever comes to mind. In this show, we always let the conversation flow and it flowed right into bullying. How to handle it at home, at work, or even as part of our upbringing/history!

We also talk parenting and the chaos of morning routines, raising teens, keeping up with slang, and more!

Don't miss it!

On this episode we discuss the rollercoaster of life that requires us to grow, heal, and evolve. Resiliency feels like a mandatory part of the human experience especially as first-gen. Latinas. Today, we talk about how healing, and not hustling, is the new definition of strength. We share our journeys of personal growth and how we created our heartfelt legacies along the way. All women need to hear this gem of an episode. You will so glad you did!

For the women of LUL growing up in the 80's was magical, simple, and oh so PRIVATE! Later, when in college, social media, cell phones with apps, and live streaming didn't exist and that was a good thing!

Now, as we raise our children (ages 3-19), life is completely different and while technology helps it may also deeply hurt when unchecked! Listen to this episode if you're in need of parenthood advice as it relates to raising kids in this wild and crazy digital age!
