When family politics, viral moments, and peace collide

In this episode, I open up about a deeply personal experience that went from a family barbecue to a viral reel seen by almost a million people. I share how I navigated the emotions, the backlash, and the unexpected lessons about boundaries, self-care, and using challenges as opportunities to elevate.

I talked about:

• What really happened at that family barbecue, and why my shirt became a point of conflict
• How going viral brought both visibility and overwhelm, and what I learned from it
• The importance of boundaries, space, and saying “no” as full answers
• Why nervous system regulation and self-care matter even more in turbulent times
• How to turn painful family or political conflicts into opportunities for growth and deeper connection
• The bigger invitation: using these moments to evolve, elevate, and align with love

This episode is raw, real, and rooted in love: for family, for community, and for our collective growth. If you’ve ever struggled with family politics, viral visibility, or staying grounded in chaos, this one’s for you.

What if consistency didn’t mean doing something every day, or every week? What if it meant honoring your own rhythm, your own flow, and knowing when to pause? In this final episode before summer break, I’m sharing a loving reminder that rest is part of the process, especially when you’re building something for the long run.

I’m getting real about what consistency actually means, not hustle culture’s definition, but one rooted in alignment, energy, and long-term vision. I discuss the importance of taking intentional breaks, redefining productivity, and trusting your own pace as you build your life, career, or business.

I also share how I will be taking a break from the podcast for the rest of July and August, and then I will be back in September with new, exciting guests and powerful tools to help you live a more intentional life and reach your big money time and impact goals.

I talked about:

• Why I’m taking a podcast break for the rest of July and August
• The difference between short-term hustle and long-term purpose
• How to define consistency for yourself (hint: it’s not doing something every day)
• Letting go of comparison when it comes to other people’s pace
• My summer plans, family time, and upcoming interviews with powerful Latinas
• A special one-day retreat: The Release and Reclaim Retreat happening in August, and how you can join us!

I open up about my husband Joey’s recent health scare that left me calling 911 and sent me on a mission to learn everything I could about vagus nerve health. I break down what the vagus nerve is, why it matters for your digestion, breathing, sleep, and emotional regulation, and three simple tools you can use starting today to strengthen it.

I talked about:

• What the vagus nerve does and why it's essential to your parasympathetic (rest & digest) nervous system
• How the vagus nerve impacts digestion, sleep, mood, and overall health
• 3 quick, science-backed tools to support and strengthen your vagus nerve
  1. Humming
  2. Gargling
  3. Cold exposure
• Why building a healthier nervous system matters more than ever in today’s world
• A gentle reminder that healing doesn’t need to be complicated or time-consuming
