True Crime and Grief? It happens.
In the last episode of 2023, Danie sits down with me for a casual catch-up. We've both had some change going on in this last quarter of the year which has led to both of us slowing down in different ways. My true crime obsession recently led me to a realization about my undealt with grief. Danie totally got me and brought up a reel that made it all make sense. The bottom line is: it's ok to stop and grieve for missed milestones in life. Give yourself time to feel, grieve & go through it. That's how we learn self-compassion and continue to grow. In case you aren't already please check out Danie's new podcast/project The Big Love Project! (Formerly known as Off the Cuff Project) She's just rebranding and launching but already has some great content out and I can't wait to see what this year brings!

Balancing your Masculine and Feminine Energy
@wearemanenough posted a clip where @justinbaldoni and his father @sambaldoni were on the @tamronhallshow talking about “the definition of being a man” and how that definition has changed. When I saw that clip, it really resonated with me because the definition Justin’s dad gave is exactly what is/was expected of women in the latino culture. It’s definitely what I saw growing up. (Check out the clip here. (https://www.instagram.com/reel/CpGH1z4jsir/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MmJiY2I4NDBkZg==)) In this episode, Gracie along with guest Coach Ang talk about how growing up in the latino culture can often lead to an overdeveloped masculine self. Ang gives her take on the concept of feminine and masculine energy and explains how people, especially women, in our culture can become filled with stagnant masculine energy. That’s all changing now, but it made me realize the gravity an over developed masculine self can have on us as Latinas. Join us as we discuss our own experiences, what we try to implement as parents and professionals and the methods we use to find balance within ourselves. MijaListen.com

We talk about her growing up and being labeled by teachers who didn't understand her needs and how she felt more comfortable once she was in a school with more students from our own culture and background. It's interesting as she mentions facing similar obstacles even now as she currently pursues her pHD. #neurodiversity (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/neurodiversity/) #neurodivergent (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/neurodivergent/) #bcba (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/bcba/) #autismawarenessmonth (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/autismawarenessmonth/) #adhdawareness (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/adhdawareness/) #latediagnosisadhd (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/latediagnosisadhd/) #latinapodcast (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/latinapodcast/) #ourstoriesmatter (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/ourstoriesmatter/)

Life Lesson Series: Stop Resisting
Sometimes things happen in life that are out of our control and we have to just go with it. I recently reached out to some some of my favorite #Mujeres (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mujeres/) asking them to share their current life lessons with me as I learned, grew and faced mine. Unexpectedly, it is turning out to be a beautiful experience that I am already grateful for which led to this new mini series called, "Life Lessons." This week I am so excited to share this episode with you as it comes from a #Mujer who has pivotally influenced my life. Please welcome Cindy Menjivar Martinez as she shares her current Life Lesson. Through her fertility journey is learning to let go of control, to stop resisting and to trust herself. Learning that the resisted path could be even better than she wanted. Thank you Cindy for sharing with us. I hope that everyone can learn to trust themselves and their journey as Cindy is now. www.MijaListen.com

Life Lessons Series: Being Present
Sometimes things happen in life that are out of our control and we have to just go with it. My daughter had been sick for what felt like a while. Which meant that podcast recordings got canceled while I focused on her. This led me to reach out to some some of my favorite #Mujeres (https://www.instagram.com/explore/tags/mujeres/) asking them to share their current life lessons with me as I learn, grow and face mine. Unexpectedly, it is turning out to be a beautiful experience that I am already grateful for which led to this new series called, "Life Lessons." This mini episode kicks off with a message from my good friend Dionne Austin, she is a mother, a professional, an artist and a strong woman that I have looked up to since I met her. She shares with us a quick reminder about being present and enjoying the moments as they happen in life. Thank you Dionne for sharing with us! I hope you all enjoy this sweet message. Check out Dionne's art at https://www.instagram.com/d.austingallery/ (https://www.instagram.com/d.austingallery/) and let her know what you think!
