felicitreza™

Nina Rodriguez

Life is full of unexpected pivots. felicitreza™ explores what we do with them. felicitreza™ is the podcast for anyone who knows life rarely unfolds according to plan and believes the best chapters may still be ahead. Born from the Spanish words felicidad (happiness) and tristeza (sadness), felicitreza is about holding the whole messy, beautiful, often contradictory experience of being human in one hand. Because when life changes you, you don’t just go back to who you were. You adapt. Expand. Pivot. Hosted by Nina Rodriguez, creator and host of the award-winning podcast Grief and Light™, felicitreza™ celebrates reinvention in all its forms. Career pivots. Identity shifts. Unexpected chapters. Starting over. Starting again (and again). Embracing the unknown and trusting you’ll find your way. If Grief and Light™ is the lighthouse in the storm, felicitreza™ is the rainbow after the storm. It’s the rebuilding. The reinvention. The audacity to believe that life still has good surprises waiting for you. This is for the pivoters, entrepreneurs, rule benders, late bloomers, multipotentialites, people who took the scenic route, and humans who refuse to believe their best days are behind them. We don’t pretend the hard stuff didn’t happen. We just refuse to let it have the final word. We celebrate pivots at every age. We believe tomorrow is not guaranteed, which is exactly why we’re going after what matters today. Created as a bilingual podcast, felicitreza™ celebrates the beauty of living between worlds, because we were never meant to fit neatly into one box anyway. Most conversations will be in English, with room for Spanglish, Spanish, and the cultural nuances of navigating multiple identities, languages, and experiences. Through solo reflections and conversations, felicitreza™ explores reinvention, resilience, identity, creativity, and the unexpected gifts that appear when life asks us to begin again. Because sometimes the thing that breaks your old life open is the very thing that makes room for your next one. Welcome to felicitreza™. The celebration of becoming who you were always meant to be.

    Welcome to felicitreza™: A Bilingual Podcast About Life Beyond the Pivot

    Life is full of unexpected pivots. The version of your life you thought was permanent, until it wasn’t. The moments that remind you the future won’t look the way you imagined. felicitreza™ is a bilingual podcast about life beyond the pivot. It’s a show about reinvention, identity shifts, intentional living, and the choices we make after unexpected life changes. Born from the Spanish words felicidad (happiness) and tristeza (sadness), felicitreza™ is about holding the whole messy, beautiful, often contradictory experience of being human in one hand. This is a space for the people who stopped waiting for permission and started living on their own terms. The ones choosing a different path. The rule benders. The ones coloring outside the lines on purpose because they realized there were never really any rules. Because the pivot isn’t the story. It’s what you choose to create after it. Two Shows. One Shared Belief.Grief and Light™ asks: How do we survive, make meaning, and move through loss and life-altering change? Felicitreza™ asks: What do we choose to create when those experiences become part of our story? Because life doesn’t stop after the pivot. It asks us to decide what we carry forward, what we leave behind, and what we choose to create next. About the ShowIn both solo episodes and conversations with guests from different backgrounds and lived experiences, felicitreza™ explores unexpected paths, personal reinvention, career changes, identity shifts, resilience, creativity, and what it means to build a life that feels authentic. This bilingual podcast is primarily in English, with Spanish, Spanglish, and all the shades in between. If you’ve taken the scenic route, you’re in the right place. ¡Bienvenidos a felicitreza™!
