Generation Latino Podcast

Romantic comedies didn’t just entertain me—they raised me. 

They taught me how to dream about love, how to survive heartbreak, how to laugh through disappointment, and how to believe that timing, growth, and self-worth matter just as much as chemistry. In this Valentine’s Day special, I’m counting down the rom-coms that raised me—the movies that felt like friends during different seasons of life and still hit just as hard today.

Being first is an honor — but it’s also a heavy responsibility.

In this episode, we explore the unspoken realities of being a first-generation Latino: the pressure to succeed without a roadmap, the guilt that comes with outgrowing familiar spaces, and the emotional weight of representing more than just yourself.

This conversation is about redefining success, releasing survival mode, and understanding that legacy isn’t built through b...

Motivation comes and goes. Some days it’s loud and electric—other days, it’s nowhere to be found. But your goals don’t wait for the perfect mood.

In this episode, we talk about why consistency matters more than inspiration, how discipline can be an act of self-trust, and what it really looks like to keep showing up when the excitement fades. This is a reminder that progress isn’t built on bursts of passion, but on quiet commitment, ...

This episode wanders into the soft spaces our parents never had words for — the feelings they carried like overloaded suitcases, the truths that lived in the pauses, the love that showed up in actions because it couldn’t survive the weight of language.

We trace the lines between generations: how silence became tradition, how strength became armor, how tenderness sometimes got lost on the way to us. Not to judge the past, but to unde...

We waste so much of our energy caring about things that don’t actually matter — opinions, guilt, expectations, drama, and pressure that was never ours to begin with. In this episode, we’re talking about the real art of not giving two fcks: not becoming cold, but becoming selective. You’ll learn how to protect your peace, budget your emotional energy, and stop letting every little thing pull you out of alignment. If you’ve been feel...

This week, I sit down with Jacob Rodriguez, a powerhouse who bridges two worlds — mental health and fitness. He’s a Latino grad student pursuing his master’s in mental health and a CrossFit coach helping others build strength inside and out. We talk about redefining masculinity, the parallels between emotional and physical resilience, and what it really means to show up for yourself. It’s a conversation about healing, growth, and f...

It’s your Main Character Era — and that means no more shrinking, second-guessing, or waiting for permission. In this episode, we talk about stepping fully into your story, setting boundaries that protect your peace, and showing up like the star of your own movie.

Who decided what success should look like — and why are we still listening? In this episode, we’re breaking up with the expectations that keep us small. It’s about rewriting the rules society handed us — about career, love, timelines, and “doing life the right way.” Because the truth is: there’s no right way. There’s your way.

As Latinos, we’re often taught to say yes — to family, to work, to everyone but ourselves. But there’s power in setting boundaries. In this episode, we talk about the courage it takes to say no without guilt, and how doing so can help us reclaim our peace, time, and identity. Because saying no isn’t disrespect — it’s self-respect
