Must Listen!!

I’ve been listening to this podcast a few months ago and I love it. It’s made me aware of other paths I can take after finishing you’re undergrad. Estrella brings up themes that first-gen Latino(a) students face in college (I’m currently an undergrad myself). It makes me realize that I’m not the only one who’s facing these problems and there’s hope.

I actually listen this podcast when I feel anxious to calm myself or for comfort because it feels like having a big sister assuring you that you’ll be okay.

Can’t wait for the next season!

Favorite Podcast!

I love this podcast so so much! The way she makes her audience feel welcomed and validated is amazing. The podcast touches on some deep subjects but she handles them all with grace and keeps if light and comforting. Only warning though, if you listen to one…be careful…you’re gonna be hooked!!:))🤍🤍🤍

I just found this podcast today. I was immediately inspired and connected to the stories, the journey, and the pressures we put on ourselves as first generation LatinX learners finding our own paths. I wish I had this podcast in my undergrad and just recently finished my graduate studies 🎓 this podcast made me feel seen and validated my education journey. Thank you.
