The Mid-Year Reality Check: Did We Fold?

The Mid-Year Reality Check: Did We Fold?

Halfway through the year, it was time for an honest reality check: did we actually keep the promises we made to ourselves… or did we fold? At the beginning of the year, we each chose one word to guide us through 2026: ascend, knowledge, and creativity. Six months later, life looks completely different than we expected. The podcast is growing, the twins are almost here, the calendar is packed, and we are all trying to figure out whether we are truly leveling up or just doing our best to keep up. In this episode, we talk about the mid-year slump, falling behind on personal goals, trying to balance ambition with real life, becoming a slave to the algorithm, monetizing your creativity without losing the joy in it, and accepting that growth does not always look the way you imagined. Be honest: what was your goal for the year, and are you still locked in? 🥭 Stay stocked with Taste Salud and use code VCH for 10% off your next order. 📲 Follow us: Mario: ⁠@itsgivingmario⁠Sylvia: ⁠@sandiego.sylv⁠Paulina: ⁠@pauulizet⁠🎙️ Follow the pod on IG & TikTok: ⁠@viveconhuevos.

Are You Confident… Or Just Full Of Yourself?

Where does confidence end and ego begin? In this episode, we get into the messy middle of knowing your worth, standing on business, and still trying not to become the person everybody rolls their eyes at. Sylvia opens up about imposter syndrome, being confident in her work as an instructor, calling out toxic spaces, and the backlash that comes when people don’t like your delivery. We also talk about Latino culture, the classic “no se te suba” energy, why people get uncomfortable when you start doing cool things, and how sometimes humility turns into hiding. Mario breaks down the difference between confidence and ego, Pau talks about perception and how different people need to be spoken to differently, and somehow… Pokémon ends up explaining all of us way too accurately. This one is funny, honest, a little chaotic, and lowkey a therapy session on learning how to walk with your head higher without losing yourself. And remember to live your best life. Fight your fears. At the end of the day, the only thing that you regret are the things that you did not do, so vive con huevos guys—we love you, we outta here, peace. 📲 Follow us: Mario: ⁠@itsgivingmario⁠ Sylvia: ⁠@sandiego.sylv⁠ Paulina: ⁠@pauulizet⁠ 🎙️ Follow the pod on IG & TikTok: ⁠@viveconhuevos.

We Forgot How to Relax

Ever feel like you can’t sit still without reaching for your phone… or like doing nothing makes you feel guilty? Yeah… same. In this episode, we get real about something we didn’t even realize was this bad — how addicted we are to being busy, constantly plugged in, and always “on.” What was supposed to be a relaxing unplugged retreat turned into something way deeper… and honestly, a little uncomfortable. We talk about why it’s so hard to disconnect, how we’ve trained people to always have access to us, and why silence feels weird instead of peaceful. From hustle culture to phone addiction to the pressure of always needing to be productive… this one hits closer than we expected. If you’ve ever said “I just need to relax” but don’t actually know how… this episode is for you. Let us know in the comments — could you actually unplug for a full day? 📲 Follow us: Mario: ⁠@itsgivingmario⁠ Sylvia: ⁠@sandiego.sylv⁠ Paulina: ⁠@pauulizet⁠ 🎙️ Follow the pod on IG & TikTok: ⁠@viveconhuevos⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

Reveal Aftermath + Real Life Changes

After the reveal, everything shifts… even if nothing really changes. In this episode, we’re talking about the real aftermath of sharing our pregnancy news and what life actually looks like now that it’s public. From the reactions and opinions, to how we’re thinking about parenting, privacy, and staying true to how we want to live—this is the real, unfiltered conversation. We get into the advice people keep giving us (that we’re definitely not taking), how we plan to approach life with kids without completely changing who we are, and why this next chapter doesn’t mean slowing everything down. This one’s more of a check-in—less structured, more real. Just us figuring it out in real time and keeping things moving. If you’ve ever gone through a big life change, or felt the pressure of outside opinions, this episode will hit. 📲 Follow us: Mario: ⁠@itsgivingmario⁠ Sylvia: ⁠@sandiego.sylv⁠ Paulina: ⁠@pauulizet⁠ 🎙️ Follow the pod on IG & TikTok: ⁠@viveconhuevos Learn more about your ad choices.

The end of an era

For the past few months… something hasn’t felt right. We’ve been going back and forth on how to say this, when to say it… and if we should even say it at all. After a lot of conversations, a lot of back and forth… we finally got to this point. This episode wasn’t easy to record. But it was necessary. 📲 Follow us: Mario: ⁠@itsgivingmario⁠ Sylvia: ⁠@sandiego.sylv⁠ Paulina: ⁠@pauulizet⁠ 🎙️ Follow the pod on IG & TikTok: ⁠@viveconhuevos Learn more about your ad choices.
