Page 2 Jay's Page: Raising Her w/o Losing Her

Conversation with my daughter, Jay, the girl who made me a mom, and the young lady who keeps teaching me how to grow into each phase of motherhood. This episode is a tender, honest, real-time conversation on the things I keep thinking I should have done differently, the patience I learned, the calm I wish I had carried sooner, and the encouragement I hope she always remembers. We chat about expression, boundaries, responsibility, body awareness, self-respect, and the beauty of watching your child become someone you admire. Jay is small but mighty, just at 19, responsible, informed, financially conscious, expressive, and fearless when she wants to be. As her mom, I learned that motherhood is not about forcing who they become; it is about loving loudly, giving them room to meet themselves, and watching (while also journaling it) all as her mother.

Page One: Me.. Gotta Love Parking Lot Journaling

First page on why I'm finally opening this journal out loud, and what's to come this season. This is my New York-born, California-raised, Miami-schooled, Central Florida-living, American-Colombian Latina Life, unscripted, real today, while sitting in the Aldi parking lot, because I thought it opened at 8 am. After ask after asks to share how I move through 4 am workouts, nurse life, nursing leadership, home life, wife life, motherhood, Ir al Sol, HYROX training, community volunteering, family, friends, again parents, siblings, and all the little 'how did I even get here?' moments... Decided to bring you along for the day-to-day ride. Oooh, and how I would love to journal a page with you on a page!

Welcome to Pages From My Journal ~ Trailer

Welcome to Pages From My Journal a soulful, not-so-traditional podcast where real life is shared in pages, not perfection. This trailer is your first glimpse into the heart behind the podcast, a space created from voice notes, late-night thoughts, revisited journal pages, real-time reflections, and conversations with the people who shaped me. Some episodes will be just me, figuring things out as I go. Others will be shared with my mom, my dad, my kids, and the people who hold pieces of my story. This isn’t polished. It’s present. It’s laughter, healing, growth, reflection, and the beauty of remembering. If you’ve ever looked back and realized how far you’ve come… this space might feel like home. These are the pages from my journal.
