Just Two Girls: Raised to Be Perfect, Learning to Be Real

Wow it has been a while. I am back with a longtime amazing pal of mine. So excited about this episode. Ariana (aka Twin - you will understand when you listen) and I had the most raw, impactful, deep conversation as we come to terms with all that has happened from adolescence to the toddler stage of adulthood. This episode really allows you to see and feel how much it has taken to rebuild. We have both redefined many parts of our lives and it has allowed us to become so emotionally mature. It has taken a village! I hope you all feel all the feels on this episode - this was a vulnerable one. Enjoy! Intro music by meechiano you can find him on Instagram @meech.powers.

Alone But Not Lost: Leaving home, Facing Grief, and Embracing life

I cannot believe this is episode 10. We are officially in the double digits. Finally got to sit down and talk with a special someone who has been in my life for over a decade now. Justin is truly the most amazing person, the most present friend - he is my family. I could not see my life without him. He has seen me go through all the highs and all the lows. I am so thankful we were able to do this and discuss moving out, dealing with loved ones passing away, and overall, just pushing through adulthood. I hope you guys enjoy the episode.

Growing Older, Growing Closer: Friendship, Forgiveness & California (More Than Just a Dog)

If you asked me two years ago about this exact moment being a reality, I wouldn't be able to believe you. Kaylin isn't just any person in my life. She is the first friend I made when I moved into a new town more than ten years ago. She is the one person who has truly taught me the power of forgiveness and how to communicate what is going on in my mind. We are polar opposites that have been through so much but no matter what we stay a unit. She is truly an inspiration, and I am forever grateful to have her in my life. I hope you guys enjoy the episode. As always, intro music is by meechiano you can find him on Instagram @meech.powers. Follow the pods Instagram @downanddirtythepodcast.

Being the Oldest Sibling, Growing Up in a Hispanic Household, and Staying Driven No Matter the Circumstance

The first day I met Angie, I knew she would be a soul I would never forget. There was a lot of my childhood and adolescence that reminded me of her - it was very relatable. The pressure, the feeling that you have to lead the ship to safety, the constant struggle. Yet we remain standing and pushing forward. Ang is truly almost superhero like. I hope you enjoy getting to know her! As always, intro music is by meechiano you can find him on IG: @meech.powers. Follow the pods instagram @downanddirtythepodcast.
