Latina nd Lifted Parte Dos

In this episode of Latina and Lifted parte dos, I sit down with my friend Daniela to unpack the growing normalization of cosmetic procedures and how it intersects with our experiences as Latinas. We get real about beauty standards, social media influence, and the pressure to “fix” or enhance our appearance. Is this trend rooted in our culture, or is it something shaped by broader societal expectations? Together, we reflect on identity, confidence, and what it means to embrace ourselves in a world that constantly tells us to change. NO POS GUAO

Latina and Lifted parte uno

Part One – Cosmetic Procedures in Latinas: Choice or Conditioning? In Part One of Latina and Lifted, I’m joined by Daniela H. for an honest, layered conversation about cosmetic procedures in the Latina community. From BBL culture and lip fillers to nose jobs and body sculpting, we dive into the growing normalization of aesthetic enhancements — and ask the deeper question: is it truly personal choice, or are we responding to cultural conditioning? We unpack beauty standards rooted in colonialism, colorism, and media influence, and reflect on how social media has amplified certain “ideal” Latina features. Daniela shares her perspective on empowerment, autonomy, and the pressure to “level up” physically in a world where appearance can feel tied to worth, success, and even cultural identity. This episode isn’t about judgment — it’s about nuance. We hold space for women who feel empowered by cosmetic procedures while also challenging the systems that shape our desires in the first place. Is getting “lifted” reclaiming your body — or conforming to expectations? Maybe it’s both. Tune in for a real, vulnerable conversation that centers Latina voices and lived experiences. ✨ Part Two drops next week, where we continue the conversation and explore healing, self-perception, and redefining beauty on our own terms.

La Hora Guao Presents: Mean Girl Energy Ain't Cute (Part 1)

In this episode, we’re getting real about something we’ve both seen (and lived through) way too many times—mean girl energy. You know the type: passive-aggressive comments, fake compliments, this weird ass mentality of "competition", group chat drama… yeah, that energy. Join us! My ride-or-die best friend Carol (we’ve been amigas since high school!)—as we share our personal stories of dealing with toxic friendships, cliques, and how we’ve learned to spot the red flags early. We’re talking growth, boundaries, and why tearing other women down is so last season. Ayyyy no!!! Whether you’ve been the target, the bystander, or even the mean girl yourself—this one’s for you. It’s time to call it out and level up. Grab your cafecito, because we’re spilling ours. ☕💅

Ni de Aqui, Ni de alla: Part 2 with Monica

In the final episode of Ni de Aquí, Ni de Allá, we sit down with Monica, who was born in Mexico and raised in the United States after her parents immigrated in search of a better life. Monica shares what it was like growing up far from the place she considers home. Despite building a life in the U.S., her heart has always remained in Mexico. Through her story, we explore themes of identity, family, and holding on to culture across borders. Join us for a heartfelt conversation about belonging, memory, and the deep roots that shape who we are.
