RAÍZ — A Podcast on Philosophy, Psychology, and Mindful Living

Raíz – Episode 2: Tending the Mind: What We Grow Without Realizing

In this episode of Raíz, we explore what grows in us when we’re not paying attention — the beliefs, identities, habits, and inherited cultural reflexes that take root while we’re living on autopilot. Through the lens of mindfulness, observation, and emotional honesty, we question what it means to live consciously — and what it means to truly tend to the mind. We end with a brief, guided mindfulness practice to bring you back to clarity before you continue your day. 🎙 Hosted by Derek Barcenas 🧠 Topics: mindfulness, identity, attention, silence, culture 🌱 Raíz is a podcast about growing with intention — mentally, emotionally, and culturally. — ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 – Intro 01:00 – Part I: The Invisible Momentum of Life 02:23 – Part II: The Structure of Self-Deception 03:39 – Part III: Attention Is a Moral Act 04:26 – Part IV: Culture Is the First Soil 05:26 – Part V: The Case for Silence 06:10 – Closing Reflection 06:50 – Guided Mindfulness Practice 09:44 – End — 💬 Share your reflections or thoughts in the comments. 📧 Contact / Collaborate: contact@tribubarcenas.com #Raíz #Mindfulness #Attention #Identity #Silence #Culture #Meditation #Podcast

RAÍZ Podcast Ep. 1 – Creating a Life That Lasts | Debut w/ Kiara Barcenas

Hosted by Kalexico (Derek Barcenas) | Guest: Kiara Barcenas In this debut episode of RAÍZ, we sit down as partners to reflect on what truly matters: building a life with deep roots — guided by love, intention, and clarity — not noise or distractions. From relationships and creativity to land, legacy, and identity, we share the values shaping our path as a young couple choosing something real and enduring. What we talk about: • Why we create — and keep showing up • What makes a relationship genuine and grounded • Moving away from distraction and toward meaning • Building a homestead & self-sufficiency dreams • How to grow together instead of growing apart This podcast is rooted in what lasts. It's not about image — it’s about truth, care, and choosing a life that reflects who we are. 🔔 Follow the journey. We’re just getting started. —  🎥 Watch more from Kiara Barcenas: https://www.youtube.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR8bA_ekMI1GmtZtacyoU9A]@soykiarabarcenas 📺 Subscribe to Kalexico: https://www.youtube.com/@kalexico [https://www.youtube.com/@kalexico] 🌿 Subscribe to Tribu Barcenas: https://www.youtube.com/@tribubarcenas [https://www.youtube.com/@tribubarcenas] — 📩 Business or collaboration inquiries: contact@tribubarcenas.com — 🎧 Watch next: Seed Starting Made Simple: My Go-To Method for a Thriving Garden https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8i0jV2ibhY4&t=4s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=4s&v=8i0jV2ibhY4] — #RAÍZPodcast #Kalexico #DerekBarcenas #KiaraBarcenas
