    Episode 5. Pero... Is This Love or Codependency?

    Are you being supportive… or are you accidentally running an emotional customer service line for everyone in your life? In this episode, I’m unpacking codependency, savior complexes, and the very relatable habit of trying to fix people who didn’t ask to be fixed. I’m sharing some personal stories, chaotic realizations, and what I’ve learned about boundaries, emotional responsibility, and why caring about people shouldn’t feel like a full-time job. I’ll also mention support spaces like Co-Dependents Anonymous for anyone who wants to explore healthier relationship patterns. This is a public episode.

    Episode 4. Pero... Por Why Is Dating So Messy?

    Ever caught yourself planning your whole future with someone you literally just met? Yeah… us too. In this episode, Juan and Alex dive into the chaotic world of dating... From ignoring red flags, overthinking first dates, heartbreak playlists, and those “why did I do that?” romantic decisions. From ghosting to crying in the shower over a situationship, nothing is off-limits. It’s messy, funny, a little dramatic, and painfully relatable... Porque sometimes love feels less like a fairytale and more like a telenovela. Bienvenidos al caos. 💔✨ This is a public episode.

    Episode 3. Pero... Why Do I Crush So Hard?

    Ready to hear how literally everyone is secretly obsessed with someone, pero nadie quiere admitirlo? Buckle up, because Juan and Ariana are exposing the messy, hilarious, and slightly heartbreaking truth about crushes! From innocent childhood favorites to chaotic adult situations that make you question everything. They spill their most iconic crush stories (yes, the delusional and dramatic ones), unpack cómo los crushes nos convierten en full-time FBI agents, and debate the real question: is it love… or just a really convincing fantasy? Along the way, they get real about aging, internalized homophobia, heartbreak, and how not to lose yourself while spiraling over someone cute. Whether you’re happily crushing, recién heartbroken, or just here por el chisme, press play. Porque tener feelings might make you a little unhinged, but honestly? That’s part of the magic!
