About this listen
In this episode of AW Confidential, host Yvette Bodden sits down with her cousin for an honest conversation about family, cultural identity, and healing while growing up Latina.
Together, they unpack the unspoken truths of life in a loud, loving, and wildly dysfunctional Dominican/Puerto Rican family and what it takes to break generational cycles.
In this deeply personal (and borderline scandalous) conversation:
No names. No blame.
Just two women telling the truth about:
The chaos of being one of four siblings
The silent rules in Dominican and Puerto Rican households
The family secrets that shaped them
The toxic patterns carried into adulthood
How therapy, boundaries, and self-awareness helped them choose healing
Through humor, nostalgia, and raw honesty, they revisit the moments that hurt, the moments that made them strong, and the moments that finally set them free.
This episode is for anyone who grew up in a home where love and dysfunction lived side-by-side and wants something different.
TRUTH BOMB:We’re breaking cycles and writing a new story—one built on truth, not silence. And this time, we get to hold the pen.
