Unlocking Our Code Podcast

From Rock Bottom to Real Connection

There are two types of disconnection:  One that sneaks up on you as an adult…  And the one that begins in childhood, long before you even knew what “self” meant. In this soul-opening episode, we share the truth about what happens when we grow up in survival mode — and how that disconnection follows us into adulthood. From childhood chaos and family dysfunction, to the masks we wore in our careers, marriages, motherhood, and adulthood… we talk about the ways we abandoned ourselves long before we even realized it.  We unpack the cost of staying disconnected too long, and the moment everything we built began to crumble; the moment life strips away everything that was built on fear or performance, leaving only what was real… and what we were praying for all along. This conversation is a powerful reminder that sometimes, hitting rock bottom isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of real connection, it's about finding our way back:  Back to our emotions.  Back to God.  Back to our intuition, our guides, our higher selves.  Back to the safety we didn’t grow up with — the safety we had to create. If you’ve ever felt disconnected, overwhelmed, numb, or lost… this episode will remind you that your disconnection wasn’t a failure — it was a survival strategy. And healing is simply the journey home to the self you abandoned to stay alive. > You are not broken. >  You are returning. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2411101/fan_mail/new]

Spiritual But Still Human

In this episode of Unlocking Our Code, we open up a raw, honest conversation about spirituality not the polished version, not the aesthetic, not the “perfect light-and-love” image… but the real, lived experience of what it means to be human and spiritual at the same time. We talk about what spirituality has looked like for each of us, what it hasn’t, and how the journey never asks us to lose our humaneness. The mistakes, the triggers, the growth, the contradictions  it’s all part of it.  There is no “right” way to be spiritual, no checklist, no rulebook. Just the truth of your own lived experience. Together, we explore: * How our understanding of spirituality has evolved with life * Why we don’t have to erase our human reactions or emotions * The pressure people feel to “look spiritual” * How our roots, upbringing, and healing shaped our spiritual lens * The freedom that comes when you allow spirituality to meet your real life  not replace it This is a conversation about being real. About choosing authenticity over image. About remembering that spirituality isn’t about becoming someone different… it’s about becoming more of who you truly are. If you’ve ever questioned what spirituality should look like or wondered whether you’re “doing it wrong” this episode is a breath of relief, a reminder, and an unfiltered invitation back to yourself.

Unconscious Love vs Conscious Love

In this episode, we dive deep into the difference between unconscious love and conscious love  and the truth that we can’t create a conscious relationship if we’re still disconnected from ourselves. Unconscious love is the kind of love most of us were conditioned to know. It’s reactive, rooted in fear, and driven by old wounds. It’s the space where blame replaces accountability, where we expect our partners to meet needs we’ve never met within ourselves. But as awareness grows, something shifts. We begin to see that self-knowledge is the foundation of conscious love that our relationships mirror our inner world, and that healing isn’t about changing the other person, but transforming the way we show up. This conversation is about awakening realizing how easy it is to enter relationships on autopilot, and how powerful it is when we start taking responsibility for our inner work, our triggers, and our patterns. Because love can only rise to the level of our self-awareness. Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2411101/fan_mail/new]

The Emotional World of Teens: What We’re Not Seeing

In this powerful conversation, we invited our teenage daughters—Mia Hernandez and Abbygail Munguia—to join us as special guests. Together, we opened up the unseen layers of the emotional world of teens. What we often label as “attitude,” “moodiness,” or “silence” is sometimes something much deeper: unspoken feelings, hidden pressures, and a longing to be understood. Mia and Abbygail bravely shared their perspectives on what it really feels like to be a teen today, what they wish adults could see, and how they navigate their inner worlds. As parents and co-hosts, we listened, reflected, and learned alongside them. This episode is a reminder that mental health awareness starts at home—with presence, compassion, and the willingness to hear what’s often left unsaid.  Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or teen yourself, this conversation will give you insight into building connection and awareness in your own family.

Life After Surviving Part 2

In Part 1, we shared the story of survival—the cost of staying in an abusive relationship, and the years of trauma and violence endured. In Part 2, we turn to what comes after survival. Life doesn’t simply return to normal when the abuse ends—the echoes remain. This episode looks at the aftermath: the anger and rage that surface, the grief and fear of the unknown, and the challenge of beginning to rebuild. Together, we explore how healing begins—not only for the survivor, but for the children and family who carry their own scars. This is a raw and honest reflection on the long process of moving forward, reclaiming life, and learning what healing can look like after surviving domestic violence. ⚠️ Trigger Warning: This episode discusses domestic violence, trauma, and emotional aftermath. Please listen with care. If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, you are not alone.
