    Are you constantly putting others before yourself, only to find your needs lost in the shuffle? Join Nachi and Damaris as we share a raw and illuminating discussion on the true cost of people-pleasing. We pull back the curtain on the psychological dynamics that compel us to seek approval, often at the expense of our own well-being. With personal anecdotes and a deep dive into cultural expectations, especially those placed on Latina women, we spotlight the urgency of advocating for oneself and the transformative power of saying 'no.'

In this heart-to-heart, we reveal the importance of setting boundaries and the art of balancing life's demands without tipping over into burnout. Through stories close to our hearts, we discuss the societal pressures that push us toward becoming 'yes' people and the impact this has on our mental and emotional health. We invite you to reflect on the generational cycles and societal impositions that may have shaped your journey, encouraging a shift towards a life where your spiritual, mental, and emotional health take center stage.

    Remember to tune in, subscribe, and join us on this path of self-discovery and empowerment, where we foster a vibrant community of listeners eager to live authentically and with purpose.

    The Art of Conscious Parenting

    The Art of Conscious Parenting

    Embrace the journey to self-awareness and learn the transformative power of conscious parenting with us, Nachi, and Damaris. This episode is a voyage through the emotional landscape of modern parenting, where we reveal strategies that enable parents to nurture their children's growth and model emotional control. Unveil the secrets to breaking generational patterns and re-parenting your inner child as we share relatable anecdotes and insights that could redefine your family dynamics.

    As we navigate the complex dynamics of parenting, the conversation shifts to the emotional intelligence required for setting boundaries and providing context for our decisions. Reflect with us on the evolution from authoritative 'do as I say' methods to a more understanding approach that values a child's autonomy and curiosity. We'll explore the balance between structure and natural consequences and how these choices shape parent and child relationships. Gain perspectives on how this modern parenting style can break generational curses and set the stage for well-rounded, expressive, and self-assured children.

    Journaling, breathing techniques, and setting realistic boundaries are just a few of the tools we dissect, offering a lifeline for those moments when patience wears thin. This episode isn't just about nurturing our children; it's a reminder to extend that same compassion to ourselves. So, if you're ready for a conversation that's as much about self-care as it is about child-rearing, you're in the right place. Let's walk this path together, learning to parent with grace, understanding, and a touch of humor—because, let's face it, sometimes you've got to laugh to keep from crying.

We peel back the layers of imposter syndrome, sharing our battles and breakthroughs with that persistent inner critic.

It's a candid discussion where we confront our internal critics and societal pressures, affirming that you're not alone in this battle for self-acceptance.

    Challenging Big Tech's (Choke)Hold on Our Lives

    Challenging Big Tech's (Choke)Hold on Our Lives

    Have you ever paused to consider how the very fabric of our lives is intertwined with the technologies we use every day? Unlock the potential to reshape your relationship with technology and bolster your digital agency as Mark Hurst, the founder of Creative Good, joins us for a riveting conversation that looks beyond the glossy surface of tech's impact on our lives. Together, we dissect the ripple effects that Big Tech giants are having on society—encompassing our democracy, privacy, and even our mental health. It's a deep dive into a world where technology operates not just as a utility but as a pervasive force, and we offer candid insights into how to navigate this landscape with intentionality and a critical eye.

    This episode is an eye-opener on the lesser-discussed aspects of our digital existence, from the relentless pull of consumerism to the ethical problems posed by constant connectivity. We tackle the intricacies of surveillance capitalism, discussing how companies like Meta, Amazon, and Google monetize our data and infringe upon our private lives. With personal anecdotes and strategies, we muse on striking a balance between engaging with modern conveniences and preserving our environmental and personal ethos. It's a call to action for listeners to reevaluate their tech consumption and make choices that reflect their values, not just market trends.

    Preventative Healthcare Through Holistic Healing

    Preventative Healthcare Through Holistic Healing

    Join us as we unravel the holistic tapestry of health with Dr. Courtney Witherspoon, who enriches our understanding of the relationship between emotional wellness and physical health through the lens of Eastern medicine. We engage in a thought-provoking dialogue about Eastern medicine's approach to identifying root causes of illness, the undeniable link between unresolved emotional issues and chronic conditions like cancer, and the pivotal role of nutrition in maintaining a robust immune system. Your health is multifaceted, and so should be your approach to maintaining it. From the food on your plate to the air you breathe, we scrutinize environmental factors that impact health and explore practical strategies to safeguard against them.

    We share personal healthcare stories illuminating the gaps in Western medicine, especially in preventative care. Our conversation emphasizes the necessity of tailored healthcare plans and encourages the integration of practices like Qi Gong to support the body's natural recovery processes.

    Join us as we equip you with a wealth of knowledge, inspire you to make enriching lifestyle changes, and encourage you to prioritize your well-being with the same dedication as any other aspect of your life.

Great podcast

This is a thought provoking, often times provocative podcast. Some might think this podcast is only for Dominicans, or people of color, or women, and it is, but I also feel like it’s for everyone else too. Both sisters have a unique and authentic take on topics that likely touch most people, which range from the American food industry to the best recent scary movies to watch. Give it a listen. You are guaranteed to laugh and you’ll likely learn something too.
