About the show

Break Cycles, Not Chanclas is the space where high-achieving Latina women can finally exhale. You’ve done everything "right"—school, career, family, healing. You’ve been the hardest worker in the room, carrying your family’s sacrifices, holding it all down. But even with all the success, something still feels off. You’re no longer staying quiet to keep the peace. You’re not shrinking yourself to fit the Latina women stereotypes you were raised with. You’re ready to break generational cycles, stop living in survival mode, and actually celebrate your wins—without guilt. This is for the first gen Latina who’s done enough performing and proving. You’re ready for more—more rest, more joy, more presence. You want to redefine success on your terms, learn how to be present without the constant pressure, and how to speak up and communicate confidently without second-guessing your every word. Every episode is your permission slip to unlearn what no longer belongs to you—whether it’s how to not feel guilty for choosing yourself, how to release the lack of communication patterns you grew up with, or how to own your worth unapologetically. You’ve already done the hardest part: you broke the rules to get here. Now it’s time to rewrite them—and actually live the life you came here to create. 🥑LET'S WORK TOGETHER!🥑 ⭐️All links below are in one place here! 👉🏼 https://beacons.ai/breakcycles If this hit a little too close to home… ✅Book a Strategy Call!

Creating a new normal after big changes in life? Here’s 3 things to focus on to live an intentional life/ Episode 32

Sometimes you feel like the odd ball out because your life feels different lately… not bad, not chaotic — just different. In this episode, I’m talking about what it really looks like to start creating a new normal after you've gone through big changes in life. When things finally slow down, it can feel uncomfortable, unfamiliar, and even a little boring. But that doesn’t mean something is wrong — it might actually mean you’re creating a more intentional season than you’ve ever allowed yourself to experience before.I share the three key things I help my clients focus on when they’re learning how to stop living in constant urgency and start living on purpose. This isn’t about doing more or pushing harder. It’s about noticing what fits now, what doesn’t, and how to move forward in a way that feels steady instead of stressful. If you’ve been recalibrating to a new career, new relationship, or new you, this conversation will help you make sure that you're staying authentic to what's important to you every step of the way. If you’re in a season where everything looks “fine” on the outside but you feel like you’re recalibrating on the inside, this episode will help you make sense of it — and give you permission to move forward in a way that actually supports the life you’re building now, not the one you were "pushing through" before.Share your thoughts and questions with me—text me directly on this page!Hey, let’s keep this good thing going!On my website, you can: 📱Book a sales call📣Invite me to speak at your event📰Read my published articles👯‍♀️Connect on Social Mediaand more.

If you’ve ever wondered how to deal with disappointment in a relationship without shutting down or blowing up, this conversation is for you. I share the subtle mindset shifts that helped me stop spiraling after hard interactions and start walking away from conversations feeling clear and in control, even when the other person hasn’t changed at all.We also get into emotional triggers in relationships and why certain people can pull you right back into an old version of yourself with just one comment. I talk about how to be less reactive in those moments, not by pretending you don’t care, but by understanding one key thing about the relationship. When you see the pattern clearly, you stop taking everything so personally — and that changes everything about how you show up.Share your thoughts and questions with me—text me directly on this page!Hey, let’s keep this good thing going!On my website, you can: 📱Book a sales call📣Invite me to speak at your event📰Read my published articles👯‍♀️Connect on Social Mediaand more.

If you’ve been questioning what connection can look like when your bandwidth is limited, this one will meet you right where you are.When it comes to how to keep friends, most of the advice out there assumes you have endless time, energy, and emotional capacity. But real life doesn’t work like that — especially when life is had and your social battery drained. In this episode, I talk honestly about what it looks like to navigate friendships when your social energy is low and you’re feeling overwhelmed by life, without defaulting to guilt, overexplaining, or disappearing altogether.If you’ve ever wondered how to stay in touch with friends or how to keep in touch with friends during seasons where your Low social battery makes even responding to texts feel heavy, this conversation will feel familiar. I share a grounded way of staying in touch that doesn’t require constant availability or emotional performance — especially when you’re trying to figure out how to maintain friendships without abandoning yourself in the process.Share your thoughts and questions with me—text me directly on this page!Hey, let’s keep this good thing going!On my website, you can: 📱Book a sales call📣Invite me to speak at your event📰Read my published articles👯‍♀️Connect on Social Mediaand more.

Trying to find balance between motherhood and career? Here's a 3 step soft and realistic approach on how to balance work and family life and redefine success/ Episode 29

If you’ve ever felt like you’re constantly holding two worlds at once — your family and your ambitions — this episode is for you. I’m talking about that quiet pressure so many of us carry to be fully present at home while still wanting to grow, build, and use our gifts in the world. Not in a dramatic, everything-is-falling-apart way, but in that steady, low-level tension that never really turns off.In this conversation, I walk through why this feels especially heavy when you were raised to be responsible early, to help, to achieve, and to not complain. I talk about how those early lessons follow us into motherhood, how they shape the way we define “good,” and why so many women feel like they’re constantly evaluating themselves instead of actually enjoying their lives. I share the mindset shifts that help loosen that grip without swinging to the other extreme.This episode isn’t about finding a perfect balance or doing more with better time management. It’s about redefining what success actually looks like in this season and giving yourself permission to build a life that feels steady and peaceful. If you’ve been craving more clarity, less guilt, and a way of living that doesn’t feel like you’re always behind, this conversation will meet you right where you are.Share your thoughts and questions with me—text me directly on this page!Hey, let’s keep this good thing going!On my website, you can: 📱Book a sales call📣Invite me to speak at your event📰Read my published articles👯‍♀️Connect on Social Mediaand more.

Unlocking the power of playful parenting. How to be more playful with your kids (And why overachievers tend to be strict moms)/ Episode 28

If fun doesn’t come naturally to you as a mom, you are not alone. In this episode, I’m talking about why playful parenting can feel awkward, unfamiliar, or just… not your default when you grew up being the helper, the responsible one, the overachiever. I know exactly what it’s like to want to loosen up with your kids while also feeling that little pull toward structure, productivity, and “let me just finish this one thing first.” And that overachiever in you that turns every moment into a lesson instead of a connection? Girl, same!But this can change with the effortless connection hacks that I talk about.And don’t worry — this isn’t about forcing yourself to be the “fun mom” or learning a bunch of Pinterest-level parenting games. Your kids don’t want a totally different version of you. They just want you — present, unrushed, and not multitasking. So I’m sharing a few simple ways to bring more ease and connection into your day without losing the parts of you that already make you a great mom.There’s a real reason downtime feels unproductive. There’s a real reason you feel silly or restless when you try to relax. So I walk you through where that comes from and what it looks like to slowly shift that pattern in real time with your kids.Share your thoughts and questions with me—text me directly on this page!Hey, let’s keep this good thing going!On my website, you can: 📱Book a sales call📣Invite me to speak at your event📰Read my published articles👯‍♀️Connect on Social Mediaand more.

Did you break up with being a high achieving first-gen Latina? The 3 surprising identity shifts that build self trust when you stop seeking validation and leave overachieving behind/ Episode 25
