Mi gente… This episode is a love letter to those of us raised on prayer, Vicks, and not talking about feelings.
If you’ve ever saged your room, cried to your playlist, talked to your plants, then opened your Notes app like it was a therapy journal, you are not alone. And yes, you are in a place where you’re allowed to light your veladora and still book the damn therapy session.
This episode is for all of us who grew up with limpias, our abuelas praying rosarios, and “échale ganas” as therapy. It's also for those who were told to “not talk about our feelings outside this house.” And at the same time, it’s for those of us who’ve always known there’s something sacred about being seen, fully, flaws and all.
We dive deep into a real story, one where Spirit showed up mid-session and reminded me that therapy and curanderismo don’t cancel each other out. They complete each other. We talk about ancestral memory, why our community sometimes chooses spiritual support over clinical, and how we can start choosing both.
Because real talk? Some of us are too spiritual pa’ la oficina and too deep pa’ small talk. And somewhere along the way, we got the idea that being spiritual and getting therapy were two different zip codes. But guess what? They live at the same address now.
Therapy isn’t betrayal. It’s a homecoming.
Yeah, Limpias help, but so does learning to say “I’m angry” without burning bridges.
We can sage the room and learn how to set boundaries without guilt.
✨ So if you’ve ever thought:
· “I believe in energy… but also, my anxiety is outta pocket.”
· “I’m not broken… but I could use some help naming what hurts.”
· “I talk to my ancestors… but I need someone to help me untangle my mother wound.”
This episode is for you.
Come for the ancestral wisdom, stay for the emotional literacy, and maybe bring tissues because yes, we get real. And yes, we still laugh.
Because healing?
It’s holy.
It’s messy.
And it’s hella funny sometimes.
🕯️🔥 So light your candle, pour your cafecito, and come through.
We’re healing in two languages, in two worlds, and on our own terms.
