    Teaching Puerto Rican History Through Bad Bunny’s Music with Vanessa Díaz & Petra Rivera-Rideau

    This week on Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with scholars Petra Rivera-Rideau and Vanessa Díaz to dive into all things Bad Bunny, Puerto Rico, and what it really means to be Latinas in academia. The episode is equal parts inspiring and real as they open up about the struggles (and joys!) of being underrepresented in their field, how teaching a college class about Bad Bunny grew into a book, and why teaming up was their secret to making it all happen. Plus, they spill on why Bad Bunny’s music is way more than just catchy—it’s a window into Puerto Rican resilience and pride.   Thank you to Savvy Ladies for supporting Cafe con Pam.

    Leadership Styles Rooted in Survival: Discovering Your Calladita Culture Archetype

    In this solo episode of Café con Pam, Pam explores the complex relationship between rest, productivity, and leadership for first-generation Latinas and women navigating Calladita Culture. Drawing from her own experiences, client stories, and years of coaching, Pam unpacks why our bodies can interpret rest as unsafe, how cultural and generational patterns inform our nervous systems, and what it truly takes to rewire these survival responses. She also shares practical tapping exercises designed to help listeners teach their bodies that rest is safe and necessary for sustainable, values-aligned leadership.  This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking transformation, self-care, and empowered leadership in Latinx and multicultural communities.

    What to Do When You Don’t Know What to Do: Finding Clarity in Uncertain Times

    In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about those tough moments when you just don’t know what to do next—especially when everything in the world feels heavy. Pam opens up about what it means to rest with intention and reminds us that taking care of ourselves isn’t selfish, it’s actually revolutionary. We weave in wisdom from Audre Lorde, Gloria Anzaldúa, Ana Castillo, and introduce Deepa Iyer’s Social Change Ecosystem to help us all find our place (and our peace) in movements for change.

    The Truth About Manifestation (When You're Navigating Calladita Culture®)

    In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam gets real about why typical manifestation advice just doesn’t cut it for first-gen Latinas and anyone navigating “Calladita culture.” She breaks down the actual science behind why just dreaming about your goals isn’t enough—plus, she shows how the brain’s reticular activating system (RAS) decides what opportunities you see (or don’t!). Pam shares her favorite methods for tapping into your potential, including writing vision scripts and using Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) to let go of that nagging guilt about wanting more. If you’re tired of spiritual bypassing and want some real talk about manifesting your dreams, this solo episode is for you!
