Hey, I'm Dina, and I've just hit the big 3-0. You know that drive that keeps people up late, that spark in their eyes when they talk about it? Well, I've never really had that – no posters, no superfan moments, nothing ever clicked. I've also faced mental health challenges. It's a journey I'm open about. Whether you're on a quest for passion, dealing with mental health issues, or simply curious about life's messy journey, I invite you to join me.

    8. This Roadtrip Begins with Churros

    Friends often ask me, “What’s life like over there?” and I usually shrug it off with, “Mehhh, same daily life.” But if I truly think about it—it’s not. So, get in the car with me for little road trip, and I’ll show you how daily life can be quite different depending on where you live.

    7. How I Stopped Crying on My Tiny Studio Apartment Floor

    In this episode, I’m sharing some of the little things that helped me start getting (unknowingly) out of my depression and burnout. After my last episode, a listener asked how I managed to do it. Truth is, I don’t reaaally have one answer to that question, but I’ll share what worked for me—finding an amazing doctor, guilt-free binge-watching, comfort food, decluttering, and even hitting the gym (I know, I’m sorry, I actually enjoy it). Hopefully, something in my story can be of any use for you. I really enjoyed making this episode, so reach out if you feel like it! Insta @mythingthepodcast

    6. Did I Really Beat Depression?

    I somehow managed to crawl out of my depression and burnout hole without even realizing it. I was so focused on just getting through that I didn’t notice I was actually starting to feel better. Now I’ve got all this energy, and honestly? I have no clue what to do with it. For so long, I was using every bit just to keep it together. I’m excited to tell you guys, but also kind of scared to jinx it— I don’t want depression and burnout to hear me and think it’s time to come back. So yeah… let’s keep this between us for now.

    4. Unexpected Insights from Mom's Suitcase

    In this episode, I share my personal journey of moving to Mexico and how it opened my eyes to the challenges my parents faced when they immigrated to a new country and started a new life. I focus on my mom and how I didn't truly grasp the emotional aspect she went through. I share anecdotes about her attempts to pack up her homeland in a suitcase; it would embarrass me. Ultimately, I come to realize that my mom isn't as annoying as I once thought; she's just... my (immigrant) mom.

    3. Good Meat, Confetti and One Year in Mexico

    In this episode, I talk about celebrating my birthday and the surprising realization that it's already September, marking one year since I arrived in Mexico. It's a bittersweet feeling - I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I won't deny that starting anew in another country has been pretty darn tough. Also, a quick side note: I'm still not a fan of coffee. That iced coffee I mentioned? It's honestly more sugar than coffee. Plus, I prefer it decaf, and to be honest, I enjoy the milk part more than anything else.
