Ep #84 - Why should a childfree Latina care about starving children? Because empathy is free! And if you're someone who pays attention, you know that a well-educated public is the foundation of a strong society. But here’s the hard truth: hungry kids struggle to learn.
We’re far from being the strong, well-educated society we could be, and that gap is costing us all more than we realize. Just look at what's going on in this country right now.
Here’s a heartbreaking stat: 14 million children in the U.S. woke up this morning without enough food to eat. Let that sink in. 14 million.
That’s why, as part of the global Podcasthon project highlighting worthy causes, this episode is shining a light on the incredible work No Kid Hungry is doing to fight child hunger across the country.
Want to make a difference? Here’s how you can help:
- Visit No Kid Hungry’s website for resources
- Donate to support their mission
- Volunteer your time and skills locally (mutual aid rocks!)
- Share resources (and this episode!) with your community
No one can design their best life on an empty stomach. Let’s help tomorrow’s adults build their vida más chévere by making sure they’re fed TODAY.

Moving Beyond The Blame Game

Ep #83 - Tired of getting sucked into unproductive arguments online and in real life? Then you might be ready to break free from The Blame Game.
The unproductive nature of blame hinders our growth and relationships. While it feels good to blame others, this primal instinct is not conducive to problem-solving or even to making progress.
But the brain is wired for blame, not praise, so breaking free from this basic human process takes intention—and practice/ So if you want to design your best life, let's start rewiring for praise and progress!
With personal anecdotes from a career in event management, we'll examine the importance of taking responsibility and cultivating empathy, emotional intelligence, and collaboration. Let's become aware of the dangers of manipulation and fearmongering, and focus on our own rest and self-care during these disturbingly turbulent times.
Share your thoughts! Text in your answer to: How do you stop your thoughts from spiraling when you're in a negative headspace; what do you do to interrupt that train of thought? Don't forget to include your name and where you're from!
Your answer might be read on a future episode, so we can all learn from each other.
