In this special episode of Conversations Sin Miedo, I share something very personal: I’m pregnant! 🍼💛
While this journey is beautiful, it’s also emotional, overwhelming, and full of moments that no one really prepares you for.
In this episode, I open up about:
The anxiety between doctor visits
The amount of misinformation out there for first-time moms
Navigating family expectations and boundaries
How pregnancy is already reshaping my relationships and mental health
If you’re expecting, hope to be, or supporting someone who is — this episode is for you. You are not alone, and it’s okay to feel more than just joy. Let’s talk about it sin miedo. 💛
“Hi everyone, and welcome back to Conversations Sin Miedo.
In this episode, I’m opening up about something many of us grew up around but rarely talk about: hoarding, clutter, and scarcity in first-generation homes.
We explore how behaviors like saving every item ‘just in case,’ holding onto clothes we never wear, or feeling anxious about wasting food — all come from a place of survival. But they also impact our mental health in ways we might not realize.
I share how these habits can lead to stress, guilt, separation anxiety, and why it’s so hard to let go — especially when we’re trying to honor our parents’ sacrifices.
This episode is about compassion, cultural awareness, and healing — without shame.
🎧 Tune in now on Spotify or YouTube and let’s keep breaking these cycles sin miedo. 💛”
