After losing my dad, I’m opening up about navigating grief, the complicated relationship we had over the last six-plus years, and how I had already been grieving his absence long before his passing. But losing him has brought a different kind of grief, one I’m still learning to process. A vulnerable conversation about loss, healing, and giving yourself grace through life’s unexpected moments.OFFICIAL WEBSITE | https://www.unbreakablelatina.com/AMAZON STOREFRONT | https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-e46be756YOUTUBE| https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe6KoHTZACK0wgbR_rZFtugTIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@unbreakablelatinaINSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/unbreakablelatina Hosted on Acast.

In this episode I open up about what it really means for me to become the woman I needed when I was younger. For a long time, I looked outside of myself for things I had to learn how to give myself love, reassurance, safety, stability. Like many of us, I spent years in survival mode… pushing through, overgiving, people-pleasing, and trying to earn love instead of simply receiving it.But lately, I’ve been asking myself a different question: what if healing is just choosing myself, quietly and consistently, in the way I live my everyday life?This episode is a reflection on that shift. On slowing down. On choosing peace. On learning that softness is not weakness it’s actually strength after everything you’ve been through.FIERCEBYMITU ARTICLE| https://fiercebymitu.com/wellness/latina-wellness-podcasts-changing-the-conversation/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnFwuxPIJf5NX99_iXuE-ZPbvR6FJTyF50eU5D81Gy3TR-EkylUvYQYHPUuJ4_aem_1OgL3K2RlJgpcJWHrTcKzQOFFICIAL WEBSITE | https://www.unbreakablelatina.com/AMAZON STOREFRONT | https://www.amazon.com/shop/influencer-e46be756YOUTUBE| https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe6KoHTZACK0wgbR_rZFtugTIKTOK | https://www.tiktok.com/@unbreakablelatinaINSTAGRAM | https://www.instagram.com/unbreakablelatina Hosted on Acast.

Money was never just money in our householdsit was stress, silence, and survival. In this episode, I open up about the financial traumas that shaped me and so many first gen Latinos: growing up watching my parents work endless hours, never feeling like I deserved to spend on myself, and the guilt that came with doing better than the people I love most. I talk about what money trauma actually looks like in adulthood the anxiety every time you open your bank account, overspending to fill a scarcity wound, over-giving to family even when you can't afford to, and self-sabotaging when things are finally going well.This episode is for every Latino who has ever felt guilty for wanting more. You worked hard for this. You deserve to enjoy it.
