A Letter to Our Younger Selves, Episode 307

In our early/mid-40s, we’re still those college girls at heart, just with more wisdom (and better boundaries). In this honest, funny, and heartfelt half hour, we write to our younger selves: what we nailed, what we learned the hard way, and the advice we’d whisper to that wild party-school undergrad. If you’re in your 20s or 30s, consider this your cheat sheet; if you’re any age, you’ll laugh, nod, and maybe grab a pen to write your own “Dear Me.” Don’t miss it.

Random in the Best Way, Episode 305 (Summer Series #9)

Welcome back to Episode 305 of the Level Up Latina Podcast (this is the last of our summer series)! This week’s show is a little bit of everything, equal parts lighthearted and thought-provoking. We kick things off with the joy (and occasional chaos) of spontaneity: why saying yes in the moment can be both freeing and messy, but always worth the story. From there, we lean into the silly, asking ourselves about unique “superpowers.” But it wouldn’t be a true LUL episode without diving into the real world too. We turn the conversation toward current political affairs: what’s happening now, how it impacts our communities, and why staying informed matters more than ever, even when it feels overwhelming. Interested in learning about our GROUP COACHING COLLECTIVE? Learn more at the end of this episode. Our fall collective launches on 9/10/25 6:00-7:15pm PST, virtually for 5 weeks. This is the perfect community for women looking to max out the remainder of 2025!

EXPLICIT CONTENT: talking all things SEX from teens to 40's and what's changed in between. Women in their 20's may surely talk sex, but sometimes "the talk" is skipping some major details.

If this topic makes you cringe, then maybe it's exactly what you need to hear to build your sex IQ and confidence in bed.

The Mental Load & Letting Go, Episode 294

In this all-too-relatable episode, the Level Up Latina team dives deep into the invisible weight women carry every day — the mental load of running households, raising children, managing careers, and yes, often micromanaging partners who could be doing more. But this isn't just a venting session — it's a lesson in reclaiming your peace, your time, and your power. As life coaches dedicated to helping women set boundaries and build healthier habits, we explore the roots of micromanagement, the emotional toll of doing "everything," and how to shift your mindset to foster partnership, not parenting, in your marriage. This episode offers real talk on stress management, intentional communication, and how to stop the burnout cycle before it starts. Whether you're a wife, a mother, or a working woman juggling it all, this episode will speak to your soul — and give you tools to finally put down the weight you've been carrying alone. You don’t have to do it all. And you certainly don’t have to do it alone. Tune in and start the work toward living lighter, leading smarter, and loving stronger.

The Sandwich Generation, Part 2, Episode 290

On this episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we dive into Part 2 of an important and deeply personal topic: The Sandwich Generation. A thoughtful listener asked us to revisit what it means to be part of this generation—caught in the middle of raising children while also caring for aging parents. It’s a challenging season of life, especially for first-gen Latinas navigating the responsibilities of motherhood alongside supporting parents who may face language barriers, cultural differences, or limited access to healthcare and financial systems. We open up about our own journeys, the pressures and rewards of this phase, and how we lean on one another to grow into better mothers and daughters. Tune in as we share insights, lessons learned, and practical advice for anyone living this delicate balancing act.
