    Is It Just Me, or Is Everything Asking Too Much Right Now?

    This episode is a pause.  A moment to acknowledge the collective heaviness so many people are carrying—and the quiet exhaustion that comes from trying to keep up in a world that rarely slows down.  So many people are asking why everything feels overwhelming, even when nothing is “wrong.”  In this conversation, we name what it feels like to live under constant demand, why overwhelm doesn’t mean you’re weak, and how simply telling the truth about what we’re experiencing can be more healing than trying to push through it.  Feeling overwhelmed doesn’t mean something is wrong with you. Often, it means you’re responding honestly to a demanding world.  No fixing. No forcing. Just truth, compassion, and space to breathe.  Hey! Thanks for listening!

    Why Your Healing Tools Aren’t Working

    You’ve collected the crystals, journals, oracle decks, meditations, breathwork practices, and spiritual tools… so why do you still feel stuck?  In this episode of Cacao Conversations, Julietta and Graciela explore a pattern they see all the time in the healing and personal growth space: endlessly searching for the right tool to fix everything—then abandoning it when the results aren’t instant.  We talk about why most healing tools don’t fail… we simply don’t stay with them long enough. You’ll learn the difference between collecting tools and actually embodying them, why consistency matters more than finding the perfect practice, and how our culture’s addiction to instant gratification quietly sabotages real transformation.  This is an honest, compassionate conversation about self-trust, devotion, and what it truly takes to create lasting change—without shame, pressure, or spiritual perfectionism.  If you’ve ever felt frustrated, overwhelmed, or tempted to try “just one more thing,” this episode is an invitation to stop searching… and start listening.  Sip.

    Love What You Want to Hate: A Radical Shift in Consciousness

    There are messages that whisper… and then there are the ones that rearrange you.  This week on Cacao Conversations, Julietta shares a powerful teaching she recently received from the Blue Ones — a teaching that has been working on her from the inside out:  “Love what you want to hate.”  In a world overflowing with judgment, reactivity, and emotional exhaustion, this message comes through as both a wake-up call and an invitation to rise into a different kind of power.  Together, Julietta and Graciela explore what this transmission really means, how it challenges our instinct to armor up, and why choosing love in the exact spaces where resentment, frustration, or disappointment want to take over is one of the most advanced spiritual practices there is.  We talk about how this teaching applies to relationships, politics, family dynamics, personal triggers, and even the parts of ourselves we’d rather avoid. This is an episode for anyone who is ready to shift from reaction to mastery… and to remember that the frequency of love isn’t passive — it's transformative.  Sip your cacao, open your heart, and join us for a conversation that just might change how you walk through the world.  Hey!

    From Achievement to Alignment | When Success Isn’t Enough

Through grounded wisdom, spiritual insight, and real conversation, Julietta and Graciela offer practical ways to shift from striving to being, from doing to living in flow.  If you’ve built the life you thought you wanted but still feel something is missing, this episode will help you rediscover fulfillment that comes from within.  https://www.bodyandsoulevents.love/wildandfree Hey!
