Taboo No More: Turning Pain Into Power Through Storytelling with Cynthia & Jeanette
Description
Get ready for a conversation that will shake you to your core! This week, Jessica sits down with Cynthia and Jeanette, the powerhouse duo behind Taboo Talks: Latina Edition — a podcast and community that's fearlessly dismantling the walls of silence around Latina experiences.
In this raw, unfiltered conversation, we dive deep into why these two mujeres decided to create a space where the stories we've been taught to whisper are finally spoken with pride. From breaking generational cycles to confronting the traditions that have kept us small, this episode is about more than podcasting — it's about revolution through conversation.
The birth of Taboo Talks: Why Cynthia and Jeanette felt called to create a space for the "unspoken"
Generational healing: How breaking taboos becomes an act of liberation for our families
The power of comunidad: Building authentic connection in a world that often demands we perform
Redefining cultura: Honoring our roots while refusing to be limited by outdated expectations
Unapologetic Latina power: What it really means to show up fully as ourselves
- The moment they realized too many Latina stories were being silenced
- How shame, tradition, and fear have kept our voices locked away
- The difference between preserving culture and being imprisoned by it
- Why creating safe spaces for raw truth-telling is revolutionary
- The healing that happens when we stop performing and start being real
"We're here to break generational cycles, speak our truths, and hold space for the raw, unfiltered realities of Latina womanhood."
"Our why is healing, comunidad, and creating a space where every mujer feels seen, heard, and empowered."
