This podcast. FYI - I Am Damaged. I sit in this chair pulling stories out of others.

But today, the mic turns on me. In this episode, I'm not the interviewer. I'm the one being asked to look at my own cracks.

My wife, Argelia, sits across from me and asks the questions I may have spent years avoiding. What happens when your passion becomes the only place you still feel alive while the rest of your life is burning you out?

How do you hold a 9 to 5, bills, expectations, stress that eats at your bones while still chasing the one selfless passion that makes your heartbeat? And how do you keep creating when you're carrying trauma, disappointment, and the quiet grief of feeling unseen?

This isn't a highlight reel. It's not a motivational speech.

It's a moment of honesty, my honesty, about what it really costs to build something meaningful while life keeps throwing weights on your chest. If you've ever questioned whether you could hold it all together and still build your dream, this conversation might be the permission you've been waiting for. Let's begin!

Adelante, Siempre, por tu Mente

Forward, Always, for your Mind

What if the cure for isolation wasn’t technology or social media—but simply telling your story aloud?

In today’s episode, I sit with Raquel, founder of MomsWestchester, a movement that began in her living room and is now sparking deep connection across Westchester County.

She reveals why small talk is limiting us, how storytelling heals mothers across generations, and what happens when strangers become family through truth-telling.

This isn’t just about motherhood—it’s also about humanity.

Stay tuned, because what Raquel shares will make you question how you connect, and maybe even inspire you to join and support her circle of storytellers for Mothers.

When the life you built breaks, what breaks open? Jessica—Bronx-born educator and mom—lets us inside her pending divorce: the shock, the anger, and the grind through the five stages of grief.

From suddenly plowing through separation documents to quiet nights, she confronts identity, safety, and the courage to endure without losing herself.

This isn’t gossip; it’s a roadmap to rebuilding—setting boundaries, co-parenting with grace, and choosing self-love first.

If you’re standing at the edge of an ending, press play for practical tools, hard-won hope, and a reminder that you’re stronger than the story that hurt you.
