The Level Up Latina Podcast

Calling into our lives all that is wonderful to reset and renew this winter. Now that the holidays are here and the Day of the Dead has closed the portal between the world of the living and the dead, we are ready to call in new beginnings, and we are not waiting for the new year to do so! Episode 366 is all about embracing this season of personal change, transition, and a clean slate for a prosperous new year! The ladies of LUL are feeling refreshed and renewed and hope you will too after you stream this one... 

Surprise! This week's episode is dropping a day early because today is midterm elections in the U.S., and we want to encourage all our listeners to GO VOTE! We won't tell you how to vote, but we will tell you to make your voice heard. To be clear, on this episode, we're not tuning out the noise or expressing our views, but we're also open to yours. We may not see eye to eye, but we keep the dialogue open, and we remind everyone today and every day not to look away amid scary political ads and campaigns that seek to burn us out, divide us more than unite us, and keep us in a state of confusion! Don't tune out this election season, instead lean in; this show gives you tips on how and why to do just that! And if you listen after elections, don't worry... there's some great conversation about staying engaged, how you can make small and big changes even when you don't know where to start politically, and how to peacefully disagree with those on the other side of the political aisle. 

Video Episode: This one's full of ramblings among friends! Come for the fun, real talk, and good times only three Leveled Up (and always evolving) Latinas can bring! We celebrate busy seasons, birthdays, feeling sexy, feeling like señoras, and everything in between. Find us on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your favorite pods.

No one makes you laugh like Coach Vero. She moderates episode 363 of this silly episode. Don’t miss it. In our funny and lighthearted way, we bring you episode 363 of the LUL podcast. This is a feel-good vibe that only a 20+ year friendship can provide. Maybe it was the 10 pm o’clock hour or the Q&A-style game board questions, but we got to laugh and bond as we did in college. We share good energy and goofy questions so new listeners and old can feel lighter and brighter after listening. In such trying times, a refreshing podcast among amigas is just what the heart needs.

Ever heard of sleep stories? Well, in this late-night episode, two of our co-hosts get together for a short, sleepy chat about their recent concert experiences with their daughters.  It's a beautiful, low-energy show to help you wind down and lower those cortisol levels. It's perfect right before next week's show, which is a wild one full of energy and goofiness. This episode will make you want to plan a sweet one-on-one musical date night with the kids in your life. Don't miss it!

Heard about the attorney the judge yelled at for not covering her shoulders in court? Are you a fan of casual Fridays? Are Crocs in the office taking it too far? Who decides what's right, what's wrong, and how do we know when to ask questions about office etiquette, attire, and professionalism? Today's podcast covers this and more... stream it, share it, and comment! We want to know what you think about what we wear to work, even to church, and what we say, or do not bring ourselves to say, in certain places!

Today's show is all about love. From first dates to first loves. In this episode, we discuss marriage and how love shows up among our children and in the generations before us. Through silly tales and walks down memory lane, we laugh and reminisce about all things amor, so don't miss it. And don't forget, every last Wed., we bring you a random show that is also a video show exclusively on YouTube. 

What happens when you’ve changed, but the people who love you still see the old version of you? In this episode, we’re talking about the awkwardness of outgrowing who everyone remembers. Maybe you’re more confident, successful, outspoken, or even a little fancier now. ¿Y qué? Do the people who love us really give us permission to evolve, or do they sometimes keep us attached to an identity that no longer fits? We’re talking family, growth, changing identities, and owning who you are now. Because sometimes, you just have to say: You don’t know me like that anymore.

Today on the podcast, we were inspired by Mexican Independence Day and the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. We discuss what freedom means to us as Latinas, what we are holding on to, and what we are freeing ourselves from! Every Latina needs this conversation. Don't miss it!

Disclaimer: Santa Claus and other holidays are discussed in this episode. Listen with care. 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?
