In this episode, I’m sharing three milestones that have filled my heart with gratitude and pride: being recognized by the Latino Alumni Network at my alma mater, San Jose State University, having my podcast ranked number three in the top 30 anti-diet podcasts, and leading a workshop at Centro Chicano y Latino at Stanford University.

But this isn’t just about my accomplishments—it’s about creating space for you to celebrate your own. I’m inviting you to show up raw, authentic, and unapologetically YOU.

Let’s embrace the hard, scary stuff that pushes us to grow, and let’s recognize that our wins don’t just belong to us—they’re part of the collective. Together, we rise by lifting each other.

Tune in for inspiration, empowerment, and a reminder that your milestones matter—because you matter.

Muchisimas gracis por tu apoyo! Thank you for your support!

Happy New Year!

Welcome to the very first episode of 2025, and guess what? It’s also our 100th episode! I’m so grateful to have you all as part of this amazing community and my podcast journey. This journey wouldn’t be possible without listeners like you. Thank you so much—muchas gracias!

As we welcome a new year, let’s leave behind the pressures to shrink ourselves and step boldly into a space of joy, connection, and radical self-care. In this episode, we’re rejecting resolutions rooted in diet culture and embracing intentions that nurture every part of who we are.

In today's episode, we’ll reflect on key questions to guide our 2025 intentions:

👉🏾 How do you want to be remembered when you are gone? Let this help guide your intentions

👉🏾What brought you joy in 2024, and how can you create more of it?

👉🏾 What practices helped you feel grounded and whole?

👉🏾 What beliefs or patterns no longer serve you?

👉🏾 What new rituals will support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being?

Let’s make 2025 the year we embrace radical self-acceptance and healing—rooted in love, not restriction. Tune in to start your year with intention and divest from diet culture.

In this episode, I had the privilege of speaking with Laura Olvera who I have the honor to call her a friend. Laura is a Los Angeles native, fashion designer, and small business owner who is transforming the way women of color view themselves through her brand, Señora Calzones. Laura’s passion lies in empowering women to embrace their bodies and sexual empowerment without shame, drawing inspiration from her Mexican heritage, personal journey, and the powerful community of women she surrounds herself with.

Laura shared her personal battles with body image, especially during her postpartum journey. These challenges sparked the creation of Señora Calzones during the reflective period of the COVID-19 pandemic. This time of vulnerability and rediscovery led Laura to realize the importance of self-acceptance and body positivity, inspiring her to launch an intimate clothing line that celebrates women’s bodies in all their diverse forms.

More than just clothing, Laura’s designs make bold statements about body sovereignty and self-love. She spoke about the often-overlooked struggles many women face postpartum, emphasizing the need for compassion, gentleness, and patience during this transformative stage of life.

One of the most inspiring aspects of Laura’s work is her experiential offerings, such as boudoir photo shoots. These aren’t just about creating stunning images—they are empowering experiences that encourage women to reconnect with their sensuality, creativity, erotic energy, and confidence.

Laura’s journey and the mission behind Señora Calzones are powerful reminders of the strength found in vulnerability, community, and self-love. Her work aligns beautifully with the ongoing effort to dismantle diet culture and societal pressures, paving the way for a future that celebrates diversity, inclusivity, and collective healing.

I encourage you to explore Laura’s work, follow her on Instagram at @senoracalzones, and take a step further on your own journey of self-discovery and radical acceptance.
