    Jochis in Sports Ft. Brenda La Latina - EP #38

She's giving us all the tea on going from creating content in LA to packing her bags for the FIFA World Cup. Casual. 😭✨ We get into our relationships with sports growing up, athlete crushes, dating red flags, and why soccer fans are either the biggest green flags... or the loudest red ones. 👀 We also talk about queer joy in sports, women taking over the game, and how jerseys somehow became the hottest thing in everyone's closet. Whether you're here for the fútbol, the fashion, the jochis, or just the chisme, this episode is guaranteed to make you laugh.

    Internalized Queerphobia - EP # 22

    This week on Las Paleteras, we’re diving into something many queer folks know all too well—internalized queerphobia. That sneaky inner voice shaped by years of societal shame, machismo, religious guilt, and the pressure to “blend in.” But don’t worry, como siempre, we get into it con cariño… y un poquito de desmadre! Joining us is the brilliant Luis Cornejo (@luis_thee_lmft) — Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, Certified Sex Therapist, and founder of PsychoSocial Therapy. Luis brings their insight as a healer and advocate to unpack the layers of internalized queerphobia, from childhood survival instincts to dating dynamics and the pain of gender nonconformity rejection within our own communities. Plus: — Chismecito callejero in our Dicen Por Ahí segment — Honest reflections on our first brushes with self-shame — A powerful convo about healing, grace, and letting go — Our signature Mete o Saca to close things out with intention What are YOU inviting in?

Alexis shares how storytelling can be a source of healing for ourselves that can ripple into our communities with what we create. They also touch on ways to find and stay connected to your purpose such as through indigenous wisdom and practices like nature walks, touching grass, and holding on to meaningful symbols like jewelry.

    Finding Home with Johanna Toruño - EP # 8

    ¡Hola hola Paletitas! Welcome back to another episode of Las Paleteras! Before we begin the episode, we’d like to acknowledge the devastating fires that engulfed the Los Angeles area, the place that most of the Paleteras team calls home. Our community has heartbreakingly lost their homes, belongings, pets, and even family members. Our hearts go out to all those affected by the fires. This episode explores the concept of home and what we’ve seen so far through these fires affirms that home is not just a place, but it’s in the people we cry, break bread, and rebuild with. We’re starting the year with a conversation that will hopefully warm your heart and spark introspection. We’re joined by the incredible art activist Johanna Toruño, founder of the Unapologetic Street Series. Together, we dive into the ever-evolving question: What is home? Johanna shares her journey as an artist, immigrant, and dreamer—revealing the transformative power of creating home in unexpected places. From first memories of home to navigating the complexities of being undocumented, we explore the joys and heartbreaks of belonging. This episode is packed with laughter, tears, and deep connections. Along the way, Johanna’s stories of returning to El Salvador, our hosts’ reflections on moving to Mexico, and the unique paths we’ve all taken to redefine “home” will leave you inspired. Grab your favorite paleta, settle in, and join us for this beautiful conversation on Home.
