This Episode is personal.

It's about being told you're "too much." About learning to translate yourself so you don't threaten the room.

About watering down wisdom and asking permission before trusting your own voice.

In Episode 20 of Fluent AF, I share why this project exists in the first place.

Because language isn't neutral.

Accents carry power.

And belonging is often policed through tone, grammar, and who gets listened to.

This episode is about reclaiming authority over your voice; not to fit in, but to stand where you already are and speak from there.

This is a closing-of-the year episode.

A shedding.

A return.

Because Fluency was never the goal.

AUTHORITY WAS.

Listen slowly.

Feel what your body remembers.

Share is with someone who needs their voice back.

After 18 Episodes Fluent AF has quietly built its own universe. This time we're stepping into the dreamworld. The Sandman side of language, to explore the languages we dream in, the ones we wish we spoke, and the ones we lost along the way.

Mythology, Psychology, Miami energy, identity, memory, and desire...all in five minutes.

Take a ride in our Y2K time machine as we (my brother David and I) breakdown how culture, technology, nightlife and music evolve and why some things never die.

From Snoopy still flying in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade to Goku becoming a cross-generational icon, from Kpop Demon Hunters, to Miami dive-bars. We explore what every generation remembers, what they forgot, and what got remixed into something new.

If you ever burned a CD, lost your chunky camera or flip phone or grew up in the early 2000's, this one's for you.

Hit play, share with your millennial peeps and Dale!

We live in a world that worships speed. Fast talk, fast thoughts, fast mornings powered by coffee and panic disguised as productivity. But what if the rush isn't natural? What if we've been taught to speak in anxiety, breathe in urgency, and perform fluency like a race?

In this episode, I break down how stimulation, stress, language, and culture overlap. Why women's bodies process caffeine differently, why English feels more caffeinated than other languages, and why wealthy people treat coffee as a ritual instead of a lifeline.

This is a slow sip. A breath. A reminder that fluency isn't just how well you speak, but how calmly you live.

Take a seat. Take a breath. Take it slow.

There are emotions English can't name, but Spanish, Italian, and beyond? they've gotchu!

In this episode, we explore vergüenza ajena, tocaya/o/x, and abbiocco; the feelings that prove langauge isn't just communication...it's identity.

Tune in to Fluent AF, where words travel and feelings translate.

In this episode of Fluent AF, we break down the IV Stages of Culture Shock, from that first honeymoon rush, to the full-body cringe of realizing your habits don't translate.

Fun, curious and just pure traveler vibes!

From ancient Greece to the algorithm, nothing's changed. Power doesn't sit in palaces anymore; it lives behind a paywall. In this episode of Fluent AF, we dive into how desire, attention and influence shape the modern world. From rings lights to revolutions, we explore why the real global language isn't English, Spanish, or Mandarin... it's visibility.

Bold and dangerously honest.

What happens when the people who hold attention decide to go silent?

Listen.

Before grammar was rules on a page, it was a manual for magic.

Before spelling meant writing letters, it meant casting energy into form.

In this episode, we step into the shadows to explore the ancient link between language and brujeria. From latin roots of grammar and grimoire to the sacred tongues that spoke the universe into being.

We trace how "Let there be light" became the first spell even spoken, how Abracadabra literally mean "I create as I speak" and how our midern affirmations and slogans still follow the same rhythm of ritual.

It's spiritual. It's linguistic alchemy.

Go listen!

remember: every word is a spell.
