Welcome back, Chismosas! We’re tearing into 2026 like never before. Con pura confianza! This first 2026 episode is packed with all the tea, laughs, and some juicy inspiration for your New Year. We start with a holiday recap, not to mention the epic Broadway trip with the kids (yep, Vivi called it!)

We get into real talk on resolutions: your girl wants to up her healthy eating game and get active (is walking up stairs supposed to be that hard?). I spill my love-hate with meal prepping, and ask YOU for your healthy, grab-and-go tips because reheated chicken? No, gracias.

Big announcement alert: This year is all about creativity! I open up about feeling burnt out by the grind of content creation, and how I’m jumping headfirst into a passion project—building my personal brand and a brand new website for the Chisme Corner. No experience? No problem. I’ll bring you behind the scenes on my wins, fails, and everything in between as I reconnect with my creative flow.

We wrap with a raw reflection on 2025 (hola emotional growth, adios whatever’s holding us back) and a fire pep talk for 2026. It’s the year of the Fire Horse! Time to leave limits in the past and step forward fiercely, unapologetically, and fully YOU. Join me for another year of growth, healing, cultura, and, por supuesto, plenty of chisme! Let’s make this year big, bold, and full of love!

It's our very first Christmas episode with our favorite little chismosa, Velisse! We talk about the switch to a new cheer gym and we dive into our fan theories about Stranger Things—who we think is going to save the day, which characters might not make it, and why we’re more excited for Vecna than for Santa this year. Get ready for laughs, plenty of spoilers, and all our wild predictions for the next season!

We also get REALLY real about faith, spirituality, and what prayer means to each of us. Vee opens up about growing up in different religious backgrounds, questioning big things, and how it’s okay to find your own connection even if you don’t fit into any box.

On top of all that, we swap stories about holiday traditions like opening a present on Christmas Eve, and how we always try to focus more on experiences than “stuff.” And, as always, I want to lift you up with some good vibes migente: I hope you and your families are showered with love, laughter, and relaxation this Christmas whether you’re celebrating with a crowd or keeping it cozy and small.

Thank you for tuning in to my shenanigans and supporting the podcast every week. It means the world to me! Stick around for next week’s New Year’s Eve episode, where I’ll share new goals and what I’m looking forward to in the year ahead. Merry Christmas and happy holidays, chismosas!

This week we're taking it back to the very first episode of The Chisme Corner.

Before the guests, the growth, before all the tea- this is where it started!

Whether you're new here or you've been rocking with me since day one, this episode is a reminder of the heart behind the chase: the real conversations, Latina perspective, and showing up as our full selves.

New episodes return next week with a special guest as we dive into Christmas and bringing in 2026 with new energy! Until then... enjoy this little trip to the vault! Xo
