In this heartfelt and eye-opening episode, we sit down with Amapola Ramirez — a Chicana therapist, entrepreneur, and host of the Chicana & Latina Moms Podcast — for a powerful conversation about identity, healing, and generational strength.

Raised in a world that often misunderstood her Chicana roots, Amapola turned pain into purpose. With over 17 years of experience working with families in crisis, she brings both clinical insight and lived wisdom to the table.

In this conversation we ask and discuss what does it mean to grow up Chicana in a society that often erases your identity?
How do we navigate marriage, motherhood, and mental health while honoring our cultura?
And how can one voice spark healing across generations?

This episode is honest, healing, and rooted in cultura. Don’t miss it.

Episode 35 is special because I sat down with Juan Carlos — papá, facilitator, and coach — for a powerful conversación on conscious masculinity and breaking generational cycles. We explore:

✨ What it really means to be a cycle breaker — cortar con lo que ya no sirve
✨ How men can become emotional protectors, not just providers
✨ Holding space for vulnerability y hermandad
✨ Showing up con corazón y presencia for our partners and familias
✨ And having the humility to say: "Maybe there’s another way… otra perspectiva"

This one’s para los que están listos to lead, heal, and love más profundo.
Tune in. This convo is medicine.

Today’s episode is extra special — I’m sitting down with my Ashley Cuasquer, MA, NCC, LAC — licensed associate counselor, orgullosamente Latina, rooted in lived experience and disability awareness, and someone who shows up with so much courage.

In this episode, Ashley shares her journey of learning to show up as her yo auténtica — even when the world told her to stay quiet, small, or invisible. She opens up about growing up with a disability and living with depression.

She also shares how a toxic relationship nearly broke her spirit — but ultimately became a mirror that helped her reconnect with who she truly was. And through deep grief, especially after losing su mamá, Ashley began the slow, powerful work of healing — not just for herself, but for the generations before and after her.

Este episodio es about valentía — the kind that shows up when you choose to be seen, to be vulnerable, and to love yourself through it all.

Ashley’s story is raw, honesta, y llena de fuerza. We’re so proud to share it with you.
