32: Why Am I Blushing Over a Man? Someone Call My Therapist

"I went from ‘men are gross’ to ‘WAIT… why is HE cute?’ Send help!" This episode is pure Chisme, chaos, and character development. I’m talking dating after a decade-long relationship, postpartum confidence, rediscovering my flirt game, deleting Hinge 47 times, giving out fake numbers, and entering my fluid era like a telenovela plot twist. We get into: • dating as a newly single mom • feminine energy vs masculine energy • why waxing + coffee scrubs = personality traits • kissing like I forgot how • men with zero emotional intelligence • and the identity crisis of “coming out” as straight… again If you need a laugh, a cry, or a “girl, SAME,” this episode is it. ✨ Follow the podcast [https://www.instagram.com/unicornsdoexistpod?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr]& listen NOW [https://open.spotify.com/episode/4VUpb9xZScgvUsSDpj850R?si=QQXN1vozQZ6VzDaBR7ee_w] — your healed, unhinged era starts here.  Listen now • Episode_description_help

29: Damned If You Stay, Judged If You Leave

Are you staying because you’re happy… or because you’re scared?  In this episode of Unicorns Do Exist, Vanessa gets real about the judgment women face no matter what they choose — stay, leave, forgive, start over, evolve. Pulling from her own story and the stories of women around her, she breaks down why choosing yourself is the most powerful (and hardest) decision you’ll ever make. From Becky G to Karol G, from our mothers to our daughters, from long-term relationships to short healing ones — this episode is a reminder that divorce isn’t a failure, outgrowing someone isn’t a failure, and choosing peace is never selfish. If you’re in that “in‑between” stage — not who you were, not yet who you’re becoming — this one will hit home. You’re not losing anything. You’re returning to yourself. ✨ Listen now, share it with a friend who needs clarity, and don’t forget to follow the podcast for more episodes that feel like a warm hug and a wake‑up call at the same time.
