Cristina is a visual design expert, art historian, and curator of experiences that celebrate rather than compete. We talked about living between worlds. The magical pull of home.

We met a year ago at KU. I was visiting and at one point filling in for Jae Chang's design studio, where students were designing a food hall for the future of KC. I sat down with each student individually and asked them to look at me. Not the computer to show me their design because I want to hear them, look into the person who was designing first, not the computer or their creations.That conversation with Drew and his classmates stayed with him. He came back a year later to talk about why.Because here's what he discovered: architecture is really embodied. It's building space. It's locations for our bodies to exist, move, see, hear, and taste. And once you see that—once you actually feel it—you can't design the same way again.Drew quilts. He's been quilting since he was seven. His mom, grandma, and great aunt, all quilters. He didn't understand the labor until he made one himself. The hours. The care. The intention is embedded in every stitch. That's when it clicked: this is what embodied work looks like. And it changed how he thinks about architecture.We talked about AI. What happens when the data shaping our design tools carries bias? What does that mean for the spaces we build? But more than that, we talked about whose stories buildings tell. Whose are erased. Because architecture isn't neutral. It's deeply tied to gender identity, to race. It really is a humanities field now.I shared a story about visiting land in the DR. One development, completely leveled and bare, I got sunburnt in minutes. Less than a minute away, totally different. Cooler. Softer. You could hear nature again. It's not just about cutting trees. But native soil develops over centuries. It manages water, supports root systems, and regulates temperature. When you bring in fill from outside, it doesn't know how.Drew understood right away. He said something I needed to hear: we don't know better. We know differently.That's the shift. That's what changes how you design. Not having all the answers. But respecting the other. Asking who this is for and who it's built on top of. Designing with communities instead of for them. That's the shift. That's the work.Referenced:Citizen Architects: Other Ways of Doing Architecture — on citizen experts vs. expert citizensBell Hooks — Killing Rage: Ending Racism (on rupture and transformation)Glenn Murcutt — architect drawing from Aboriginal Australian principlesPhenomenology & biopolitics — frameworks for understanding how spaces encode power📞 Connect with Drew:Drew Graff is an architecture and design student exploring subversive spatial practices, phenomenology, and biopolitics.

"What is your vision with money?"That question stopped me in my tracks.In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Alejandra Rojas—entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money—who helps women of color overcome financial trauma and build profitable businesses.And here's what hit me: we talk about vision boards, manifestation, business goals... but how many of us have actually asked ourselves: What is my vision WITH MONEY?Alejandra breaks down her BROWN Framework—a system that addresses what traditional financial education completely misses: the emotional baggage, the generational conditioning, the cultural beliefs that keep us small.🎧 The Whispers We Shared:Why ambition is seen as a "bad thing" for women of color (and how that triggers everything)The carpenter and the hammer: why you can't use financial tools if you haven't healed your relationship with money firstHow "Calladita te ves más bonita" shapes our money stories (and keeps us quiet about wealth)The difference between a $47 offer and your BIG VISIONWhy underpricing is a financial trauma response, not a strategyHow owning your voice = growing your income streamsBuilding a business while being a mom: the real motivation behind showing up every day🌬️ Soulful Tools Featured:The BROWN Framework (Big vision, Remove trauma, Own your voice, Will the right questions, Normalize success)Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) for healing financial traumaVisualization exercises: 10x your vision until it feels uncomfortably BIGWriting your big vision everywhere (room, desk, LinkedIn posts)Neuroscience-based approaches to rewiring money beliefsAlejandra's work isn't about budgets and spreadsheets.

Can you do a mini session with me?That's what I asked Michaela during our recording.And what she told me landed so deep—My Leo moon needs light. Warmth. Creative space that feels alive. I've been designing this way for years without understanding why. It's just what my body & intuition knew.My Virgo creativity wants perfection. Wants structure and rituals. Wants to control the whole process from start to finish.But then she said this: "Creativity is divinity. You are a channel for God's divine creator energy. And while you're trying to control it, God is like, hello, let me in."I felt that in my chest. In my throat. In the exact place where I've been holding everything so tight."Let yourself not finish something. Let yourself click publish without it being perfect."My heart got lighter.Like someone just opened a window in a room I didn't know was closed.Sometimes you need someone to see the parts of you you're fighting, you know? To name what you've been gripping so hard your knuckles are white. To give you permission to open your hands and just create.That's what Michaela does with her offerings. That's what I do with space.We help you see what's already there. What's been waiting. What knows the way even when you don't.She's saying: You can't force what wants to emerge. You can only create space for it. Trust the timing. Follow what wants to move through you. Have faith even when the path is invisible.If you've been feeling stuck or scared or like you're waiting for permission—This conversation will remind you that the void isn't empty.It's where everything begins.Connect with Michaela:@michaelaburke_More about R H A Y N I: https://rhayni.co
"I have zero regret. Of no kind."That's what Gerardo Pérez told me on the latest Space Whispering episode. And he didn't say it from ego. He said it from someone who almost died at 20 and decided time was the only currency that mattered.At 25, Gerardo designed a 32-story tower in Piantini—the kind of project most architects dream about their whole career. And then he walked away. Sold his car. Gave away his clothes. Became a backpacker for a year and a half.Why? Because he knew he didn't deserve that project ‘yet’. It was luck, not mastery. And he refused to let a stroke of luck define his life.Gerardo lives like life is temporary. Because it is. And that doesn't scare him—it frees him.🗞️Show Notes:The Whispers We Shared:Why legacy isn't about what you build—it's about what remains when you're goneThe difference between pride and peace with your pastHow a near-death experience at 20 taught him that time is the only real currencyWhy did he quit architecture after designing a 32-story tower at 25The moment he realized being a "super architect" was a trapArchitecture as business, not art—and why romanticizing design keeps you brokeHow Luxia Labs grew by forgetting to be an architecture firmThe ego trap: why architects think they're the center of the universe (and why that's dangerous)Living temporarily—and why he's okay with everything endingWhat keeps him grounded when labels don't stick📞Connect with Gerardo:Www.luxialabs.com@cualquierperez🔗 Create with R H A Y N I:📅 Book a 1:1 Free Discovery Call:bio.site/rhayniTransform your Space & Self✨Your space is speaking to you—are you listening?

At 25, he closed his business, threw on a backpack, and traveled to over 20 countries—coming back with the certainty that he didn’t want a normal life.

He’s also a life coach, hosts two podcasts, and is about to publish his first novel—a raw exploration of psychology, drama, and human duality.Gerardo lives with purpose, but never forgets the flow.
