The Level Up Latina Podcast

Today on the podcast, we were inspired by Mexican Independence Day and the beginning of Hispanic Heritage Month. We discuss what freedom means to us as Latinas, what we are holding on to, and what we are freeing ourselves from! Every Latina needs this conversation. Don't miss it!

Disclaimer: Santa Claus and other holidays are discussed in this episode. Listen with care. In episode 357 of Level Up Latina, we’re talking about the family rituals, traditions, and unspoken norms that shape who we are. From the things we proudly carry forward to the patterns we’re ready to question or leave behind (think: yelling), we unpack how we are setting a new way of life for our families, parenting, and everyday lives. What do we keep, what do we change, and what new traditions are we creating for the next generation?

In today’s episode, we’re talking about job loss and the unexpected lessons that can come with it. Our careers are an important part of our lives, but they are not our identities. Still, it’s easy to get so wrapped up in a title or role that we forget who we were before we got there and everything we’ll take with us when we leave. We reflect on navigating career transitions, separating your worth from your work, and celebrating the wins, growth, losses, and lessons along the way. Whether you’ve experienced job loss, are considering a career change, or simply need a reminder that you are so much more than what you do for a living, this episode is for you.

Episode 340 has us reflecting on something we all experience: how life changes and what that means for friendship over time. As the decades pass, friendships evolve, too. In this honest conversation, we explore what it means to hold onto friendships today, how to nurture them, when it may be time to let some go, and the guilt that can sometimes come with change.

In episode 339 of the LUL podcast, we unpack the different working styles people bring into the workplace and why neither approach is wrong. We cover why Type A and Type B coworkers often misunderstand each other, how to borrow strengths from one another instead of judging differences, and how to create fair boundaries and expectations that actually work for everyone! This episode is honest, practical, and probably a little too relatable if you’ve ever thought: “Why do they work like that?” The truth? Different doesn’t mean difficult. Sometimes people just have different operating procedures and it's always good to understand theirs + ours in order to thrive.
