    Desired Isn't The Same As Being Chosen

    Desired Isn’t the Same as Being Chosen There was a time when I confused being wanted with being loved. In this essay, I reflect on what it means to stop waiting to be chosen and begin choosing yourself instead. It’s about leaving relationships that only offered potential, unlearning the habit of abandoning yourself for connection, and discovering that peace can become more familiar than uncertainty. Thank you for listening. Before you go, you’ll also hear a handwritten blessing from my upcoming collection, Letters to My Nervous System, releasing August 6, 2026. — If this episode met you where you are, consider subscribing to Cuídate for new essays, reflections, and gentle reminders for your healing journey.

    Your Peace Is Not a Donation Box

    May this be your reminder: You don’t have to earn rest.You don’t have to earn care.You don’t have to earn grace. You are allowed to pause before you criticize yourself.You are allowed to breathe before you break. You are allowed to need support.To welcome community.To stop performing strength. And you are allowed to love people… without losing yourself in the process. Thank you for taking the time to explore cuídate, my sacred online space where I share writings filled with hope, truth, and healing. My life’s work is to inspire others to live with intention, love others, and lay our burdens down. If my work resonates with you or offers help, I would be grateful if you could share it with a friend or loved one in need. Get full access to cuídate at cuidate.substack.com/subscribe

Here on the podcast, we create space where vulnerability meets strength through storytelling, community, creativity, and care. Make Yourself At Home, (or as my mom says) A La Orden. In this episode, I share the quiet moment, last Thanksgiving when I realized I was grieving something still standing, and losing myself trying to save someone else. This is for the ones sitting at a holiday table with a full plate but an empty heart. For the ones holding their breath. For the ones waking up slowly. Topics: • Silent breaking points & numbness • Mom guilt & self-blame • Choosing yourself without apology • Leaving with love, not anger • Healing in real time Quote to Hold: “Letting go didn’t break me, pretending did.” Song Mentioned: “Let Me Go” — Daniel Caesar Journal Prompts: • Where am I still holding my breath? • What truth is my body whispering?

    3 Gentle Reminders for Silent Seasons

    Welcome & Bienvenidos. This is Cuídate a community and podcast with Josefina H. Sanders, an artist, writer, and mindful art teacher. Here on the podcast, we create space where vulnerability meets strength through storytelling, community, creativity, and care. Make Yourself At Home, (or as my mom says) A La Orden. There is a time for everything,and a season for every activity under the heavens:a time to be born and a time to die,a time to plant and a time to uproot,a time to kill and a time to heal,a time to tear down and a time to build.Ecclesiastes 3:1-3 Have you ever found yourself in a silent season?The kind of season that you’ve got to be still and quiet yet can sometimes feel so lonely?One of the hardest lessons I’ve learned is that we’ve got to be very mindful of the people we invite into our silent seasons.Sometimes the people we invite into our refining seasons can cloud our judgement and disturb our peace.Sometimes the people we invite into our silent seasons can lead us towards having to restart and begin the process all over. Today’s episode stems from my most recent essay on the cuídate community. I’m sharing some lessons and reminders I’ve been holding on to as I navigate a silent season. What is one word of advice you’d give someone who’s currently navigating through a silent season? Be sure to join us in the Cuídate Community to keep the conversation going.
