In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral dives headfirst into the emotional, cultural, and psychological impact of Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl—and why the backlash says far more about us than it does about him.

What starts as a reaction to a Super Bowl promo quickly unfolds into a deeper conversation about assimilation, identity, and the trauma many Latinos carry from being taught to stay quiet, stay small, and blend in. As a trauma specialist, millennial mom, and proud Puerto Rican-Cuban woman, Coral explores why Bad Bunny represents more than music—he represents repair, visibility, and permission to exist fully without muting who we are.

This episode touches on:

• The psychological toll of assimilation and inherited shame

• Why cultural music can be deeply regulating and healing

• How oppression repeats itself when we stop questioning what we’ve normalized

• The dangers of political and ideological extremes

• Why curiosity, reflection, and honest conversations matter right now

• How creativity, stimming, journaling, and music can help us cope

• 
  

Coral also unpacks Bad Bunny’s role as a cultural repair figure, the meaning behind songs like La Mudanza, and why representation—especially on the world’s biggest stage—matters so deeply to the nervous system, not just the culture.

This is a call to pause.

To clock what feels off.To ask yourself where your beliefs came from.
And to remember that the road—no matter how loud, confusing, or painful—always leads back to you.

If this episode brings something up for you, you’re not alone. Let the music move through you. Let curiosity replace shame. And give yourself grace.

This episode marks a milestone — turning 40!

In this deeply personal birthday reflection, Coral looks ahead to the life she is building, the love walking beside her, and the voice she has learned to trust. A voice once shaky, now steady. A voice shaped by experience, courage, and the belief that it was always meant to heal.

Inspired by the wisdom of Ruth Bader Ginsburg — use your voice, even when it trembles — Coral reflects on what it means to grow stronger with time, to speak with intention, and to step fully into purpose in this next decade of life.

This isn’t a look back. It’s a declaration.

At 40, the road doesn’t end — it leads back to you.

In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral sits down with Miami’s sweetheart, Betty Pastelitos, for an intimate and deeply honest conversation about identity, resilience, and self-permission.

Betty shares her journey as a first-generation American, a special education teacher, a content creator, and a woman who spent much of her life putting others first. From growing up as a “glass child,” to navigating cultural expectations, guilt, and being told her accent would hold her back, Betty opens up about the detours that shaped her—and the courage it took to finally choose herself.

Together, Coral and Betty explore inner teens, bathroom camping, creativity, belief, and what it means to stop shrinking and start honoring who you’ve always been.

In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral breaks down groupthink — what it is, how to recognize it, and why it can be so dangerous to your emotional safety and sense of self.

Using real-life examples from friendships, family dynamics, culture, and childhood programming, Coral explains how groupthink often shows up as compliance, people-pleasing, and staying quiet to keep the peace — even when something doesn’t feel right. She explores how early lessons around boundaries, belonging, and approval can follow us into adulthood and quietly shape the relationships we tolerate.

Coral also unpacks why groupthink can make people more vulnerable to unsafe relationships, insecure attachments, and repeated harm — especially when we’ve learned that our comfort matters less than keeping others comfortable.

Most importantly, this episode teaches you how to clock the red flags, reconnect with your body’s signals, and begin breaking free from groupthink by reclaiming your agency, voice, and boundaries. This is a conversation about choosing safety over approval, discernment over compliance, and learning to show up as the safe adult you may have needed growing up.

In this episode of The Road Leads Back to Me, Coral breaks down false accountability—what it looks like, how it shows up in relationships, and why it can leave you feeling confused, drained, and questioning your reality.

We talk about the subtle ways people deflect responsibility, validate without change, and move conversations in circles—while still claiming they “understand.”
If you’ve ever walked away from a conversation thinking “Wait… what just happened?” — this episode is for you.

You’ll learn how to:

• Clock false accountability in real time

• Trust your intuition and discernment

• Understand the difference between grace and enabling

• Set boundaries that protect your nervous system

• Recognize when it’s time to walk away

False accountability isn’t growth—it’s a pattern.
And patterns tell the truth.

CW: This episode discusses domestic violence and abuse.

One in three Latinas will experience domestic or interpersonal violence in their lifetime. In this powerful episode, therapist and survivor Coral Seco opens up a necessary, bumpy, and honest road trip through what domestic violence really looks like—and why it’s so much more than a visible bruise.

Coral breaks down the many faces of abuse: emotional, mental, financial, and physical. She walks you through red flags we normalize or minimize. From tracking your location, controlling your money, criticizing your body, punching walls, “joking” threats, sex that ignores your consent—and why none of this is love.

If you’ve ever wondered “Is this normal?” or you’re worried about a friend, Coral shows up as the loving big sister and trauma specialist she is to help you:

• Recognize the subtle signs of domestic and emotional abuse

• Understand why leaving is so hard (and why it’s still the answer)

• Honor your intuition, your safety, and your worth

• Support a loved one without losing yourself or your own safety

On this road, the message is clear: you deserve peace, safety, and a love that doesn’t hurt. And if you need to, you are allowed to take the next exit.

If you or someone you know is in an abusive situation, you can contact the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 800-799-7233 or text “BEGIN” to 88788.
