First-Gen Latinas...Unscripted

Dear Elders, We Have Questions...

We grew up honoring tradition and staying silent—but now, we’re asking the hard questions. In this episode, we open up about the emotional weight we’ve carried since childhood. We talk trauma, accountability, and how we’re learning to accept that some answers may never come. Healing doesn’t always look like resolution—sometimes it’s just giving yourself permission to speak.

Respect Abroad, Resilience at Home

In this episode of First-Gen Latinas… Unscripted, we catch up after a wild month! Raquel shares highlights from her eye-opening trip to Japan, where respect and intention are woven into every part of life, from service to silence. Cindy opens up about the beautiful chaos of juggling two demanding roles: one in claims and the other as a passionate esthetician. We talk about what it means to really balance it all, how cultural differences abroad made us reflect on our own, and why showing up with grace (even when you're stretched thin) is part of our First-Gen DNA.
Whether you're grinding through your own busy season or just curious about life on the other side of the globe, this one's for you. Let’s talk travel, purpose, and pushing through without losing ourselves in the process.

Menopause: The Silent Struggle in Our Culture

Menopause—no one prepares us for it, yet here we are, riding the emotional, physical, and cultural rollercoaster. In this episode, we get real. There are tears, there’s laughter, and yeah, there’s even some anger. Why do we have to go through this? Why is something so universal still so misunderstood—especially in our culture? We unpack the stigma, the frustrations, and the unexpected moments of humor that come with this stage of life. If you’ve ever felt alone in this journey, trust us...you’re not!
