“You only got where you are because you’re pretty.” Ever heard that one before? As a woman in business, it feels like no matter how hard you work, there’s always someone ready to dismiss your success, as if brains and beauty can’t coexist. You get judged, sexualized, underestimated—told you don’t know what you’re talking about because, clearly, you couldn’t have earned it.In this episode, Adrianna and a therapist tear down those tired assumptions. Adriana opens up about the reality of being a woman in business, the constant need to prove yourself, and the battles fought just to be taken seriously. We’re talking about the financial grit it takes to build something real, why “get-rich-quick” is a myth, and the game women have to play to protect themselves in a world that would rather see them as decoration than competition.For every woman who’s had her intelligence questioned, her success reduced to her looks, or been told to “just be likable,” this conversation is a reminder that you belong at the table. Join us as we dig into what it truly means to be a woman entrepreneur who’s here to break stereotypes, own her value, and redefine success on her own terms.🎮 Go Beyond Listening & Explore Your Own Journey!

Ever felt like you’re breaking some unspoken rule by choosing divorce—even though staying feels like losing yourself? As a Pastoral Chaplain, Amanda Williams understands the guilt, shame, and judgment that can come from a faith community that sees divorce as failure. But she’s here to talk about why that doesn’t have to be your story.In this real, raw conversation, a therapist and Amanda explore her own journey through divorce, the hidden struggles of being married in the military, and the harsh expectations to stay together “for the family” or “for the faith.” She gets honest about the pressure to choose a life partner because it’s “the right thing” to do, only to realize later that it might have been all wrong. Together, Amanda and Joselyn unpack the impact of religious beliefs on relationships, the power of boundaries, and why being “equally yoked” means so much more than just sharing a faith.For those who feel trapped between faith and freedom, Amanda’s story is a powerful reminder that your healing matters.

You’ve been told men just don’t show emotions, but deep down, you’re starting to wonder if there’s more to it.

God forbid you open up to your mom, because that would mean you're ungrateful and disrespectful, right? For so many women of color, that's the unspoken rule-you don't talk about the hurt, you don't set boundaries, and you definitely don't question the way things are.

Everything’s fine, right? We don’t really have to talk about it. Growing up in a family overshadowed by alcoholism means you learn the unspoken rules fast—keep quiet, protect the family image, and don’t let anyone know what’s really going on. Everyone reacts to it differently - some become the “golden child” - which comes with its own pressures; you hold it all together while pretending nothing’s wrong. Others spiral - struggling to avoid going down the same path. Can you really be yourself in a family that thrives on silence? Connect with Arlene and a therapist, as she dives into the hard truths about recognizing how growing up in this environment labeled her a ‘toxica'’. She talks about the burden of protecting her parent, the shame that follows you into adulthood, and the toxic patterns that start feeling normal. If you’ve ever been the one who’s expected to keep it together while quietly falling apart, this conversation is for you. For anyone who’s been taught to ignore their own pain “for the family,” this episode is a reminder: everything’s not fine, and pretending doesn’t make it hurt any less. Healing is possible, and it starts with breaking the silence.🎮 Go Beyond Listening & Explore Your Own Journey!

We have all been there, getting hit with a chancla, the belt, maybe a pot or pan...hell anything within grabbing range for that matter. For many Hispanics, physical punishment and boundary-crossing aren’t just common—they’re part of the culture. But what if these “normal” things are actually affecting your mental health in ways you haven’t even realized? And what if the unspoken rule that boundaries are “disrespectful” is keeping you from creating healthier relationships?Join Carolyn and a therapist, as they get real about the impact of generational trauma in Hispanic families, where privacy is non-existent, family entitlement is the norm, and “tough love” often comes at the expense of self-esteem and mental well-being. From the stigma around mental health to the cultural expectation to just accept how things are, this conversation dives into the habits and beliefs that may be hurting more than helping.For anyone who’s tired of brushing off the past as “just our culture,” this episode opens the door to rethink what you’ve been taught about family, respect, and boundaries.

But what if the absence of a father has left scars you didn’t know were there? For so many women, brushing off the pain of an absent dad feels like strength. Join Monay and a therapist as they explore what may be under that “strong” exterior… self-worth questions, trust issues, and intimacy struggles you’ve buried for too long.

It’s time to look at how those experiences might be setting you up for toxic cycles, self-sabotage, and pushing love away. This is a chance to look deeper at the patterns that might be holding you back, the toxic cycles that started way before your first heartbreak, and the need for closure that no one talks about.Sometimes, being “strong” is about allowing yourself to feel what you’ve been holding back and embracing the journey to growth without shame. Join Monay’s journey as we talk about what it really means to heal, to stop pretending, and to finally let yourself be open to the love and growth you deserve.

Ever been told that if your faith was strong enough, you wouldn’t be struggling with mental health? For many believers, the message is clear: God and prayer are all you need.

If you’ve ever felt judged for seeking therapy or told that you just need more faith, this episode is for you.Join Laura & a therapist as they dive deep into the complex intersection of religion and mental health—challenging the stigma that “real” believers don’t struggle, or that seeking professional help is somehow a lack of faith.
