    Be My Valentine; Me

    Recorded during Valentine’s weekend, Episode 6 is a love letter to life, joy, and choosing yourself. This episode is about flirting with life, finding the joyas hidden in the ordinary, and falling in love with your own presence. Cupid definitely shot me.. and somehow I ended up with the biggest crush on life and on myself. We talk about dating yourself, showing up for yourself even when no one else is watching, and saying yes to opportunities, connections, and collaborations. About speaking your desires out loud, switching your energy up, tuning it higher, and allowing yourself to spread your wings. This is an invitation to romanticize the everyday, choose yourself boldly, and remember that you are already worthy of love — especially your own. Show Notes: • Valentine’s weekend reflections • Dating yourself and not feeling single • Showing up for yourself consistently • Flirting with life and romanticizing the ordinary • Saying yes to aligned connections and collaborations • Energy shifts, self-trust, and choosing yourself Music by Cam Meyers Reflection Prompt: Where in your life are you ready to show up for yourself more fully and say yes?

    Honey Bee: Owning Your Magic

    Sometimes the universe whispers before it speaks, and lately those whispers have come in the form of bees. Episode 5 is an invitation to slow down and listen. Lately, bees have been finding their way to me again and again, becoming a living symbol and a gentle sign from the divine. In this episode, I explore the deeper meaning of bees as messengers of presence, purpose, and sacred work. We talk about owning your magic, trusting your divine intuition, and allowing yourself to be guided rather than rushed. I reflect on meeting new souls with powerful energy, the beauty of genuine connection when you’re fully present, and what happens when you move through life with intention instead of force. This is a reminder to soften, to tune inward, to trust what’s unfolding, and to honor the quiet guidance that leads you exactly where you’re meant to be. This episode is shared for reflection and inspiration only. I am sharing my personal experiences and interpretations, not offering medical, mental health, legal, or professional advice. Please take what resonates and leave the rest, and always trust your own inner guidance. Thank you for listening to Valley Muse and joining me for our velvet hour — a space for softness, truth, and becoming.

    Encontrando Mi Voz / Finding My Voice

    En este episodio hablo desde un lugar vulnerable. He guardado silencio por mucho tiempo, y hoy decido hablar. Hablo sobre la injusticia que están viviendo muchas familias latinas a causa de ICE, pero también reconozco que este dolor no es exclusivo de una sola comunidad. Este es un espacio para nombrar lo que duele: la separación de familias, los niños arrancados de sus hogares, el miedo cotidiano, y la violencia que nunca trae solución. Hablo en español lo mejor que puedo, porque aunque no sea perfecto, es parte de mi historia y de mi resistencia. Reflexiono sobre mi infancia, sobre mis recuerdos en México, y sobre cómo estas experiencias marcan el interior de los niños que hoy viven algo muy distinto. También comparto formas reales y no violentas de ayudar: hablar del tema, apoyarnos entre vecinos, ofrecer comida, acompañamiento, información legal y la importancia de tener un testamento para proteger a nuestras familias. Este episodio es una invitación a estar presentes, a no mirar hacia otro lado y a recordar que la dignidad no tiene fronteras. English Translation In this episode, I speak from a vulnerable place. I’ve been silent for too long, and today I choose to speak. I talk about the injustice many Latin families are facing due to ICE, while also acknowledging that this pain is not limited to one community. This is a space to name what hurts: family separation, children being taken from their homes, constant fear, and the truth that violence never brings healing. I speak in Spanish as much as I can, not perfectly, but honestly—because language itself is part of my story and my resistance. I reflect on my childhood memories of Mexico and how different those memories are from the reality many children are facing today. I also share non-violent, practical ways we can help: speaking up, checking in on each other, offering groceries, support, legal resources, and the importance of having a will in place to protect families if the worst happens. This episode is an invitation to stay present, to stand together, and to remember that dignity has no borders. Legal Notice Este episodio es solo para fines informativos y educativos.

    Life Imitates Art

    In Episode 3 of Valley Muse, we step out of the funk and into the flow. I talk about switching up your routine, entering new spaces with intention, and being fully present so the universe can meet you there. That’s when new connections form, small gifts appear, and life begins adding new colors to your world. In this episode, I start a brand-new painting inspired by the Mary Poppins scene where they jump into a painting. I create a garden I’d love to step into.. a world of beauty, softness, and wonder. Painting becomes my release, my meditation, and a reminder that when you create with intention, life truly imitates art.

    Sacred Slowness

    Episode 2 invites you to soften your pace and sink inward. In this winter-inspired reflection, I explore the art of slowing down how quiet seasons can become portals for clarity, creativity, and self-connection. I speak on muses and inspiration, share one of my personal poems, and close with the rituals that help me return to myself. This episode is an intimate pause, a breath, a reminder that you are your own muse.
