Mi gente, this one goes straight for the soul (and maybe that little voice in your head that still flinches when your mom says “¿Y los frijoles qué?”).

In this episode, we dive into childhood programming—the invisible scripts so many of us in the Latino community grew up with. You know the ones:

👉 “Don’t talk back.”
👉 “Success means doctor, lawyer… or married by 25.”
👉 “Why are you sad? At least you have food on the table.”

Those messages shape how we see ourselves, what we chase, and what we believe we’re worth. But here’s the truth: we don’t have to keep repeating them. We get to break the cycle.

Joining me is the incredible Jackie, a spiritual practitioner and businesswoman who knows firsthand what it means to unlearn, heal, and redefine success on her own terms. Together, we talk about:

✨ What childhood programming actually is—and how it still shows up in adulthood.
✨ The tension between family expectations and personal growth (aka why breaking cycles feels like betrayal sometimes).
✨ Redefining success beyond cultural pressure, guilt, and “échale ganas.”
✨ Tangible steps for unlearning without shame and building a life that feels like yours.

And of course, we keep it real with a Spiritual Rapid Fire round—where Jackie reveals what’s on her altar, the most Latino thing she’s done this week, and what her inner child would say to her today.

💡 This one is for anyone who’s ever felt torn between honoring your family and honoring yourself. For anyone still carrying the weight of old beliefs. And for every cycle-breaker out there learning that healing isn’t selfish—it’s sacred.

So grab your cafecito, light a veladora, and join us in this conversation that will make you laugh, reflect, and maybe even call your inner child to dance.
