    S2E16: Life Maxing, Parenting Our Parents & Trying to Have It Together

    Sasha and Glory are back in the studio catching up on what adulthood looks like when you’re trying to get your life together, look put together, maximize your time — and somehow manage your family at the same time. In this episode, Sasha and Glory get into “life maxing,” being high-maintenance so you can actually live low-maintenance, and the realization that getting older means putting a little more effort into looking like you have it all together. They talk about planning outfits ahead of time, finding ways to make everyday chores feel less miserable, and why a trip to the laundromat unexpectedly became a lesson in slowing down and taking care of the things that take care of you. They also look back at the versions of themselves who could stay out all night, throw on a white T-shirt and jeans, and somehow still make it work. From Sasha’s days navigating New York nightlife to Glory wondering whether she can ever recreate that “bad bitch going to the club” feeling, they reflect on how getting older changes the way you socialize, get dressed and decide where your energy is actually worth spending. And then there’s family. After bringing their families along to recent events, Sasha and Glory realize that managing your parents might actually be another full-time job. Sasha shares what happened when a family outing to a major event ended with her uncle getting kicked out, while Glory remembers trying to coordinate her family while she was working. One innocent “What’s your ETA?” somehow turns into a conversation about a terrorist group — in front of everyone. 😭 Underneath the chaos, Sasha and Glory reflect on why sharing these experiences with their families matters in the first place. They talk about wanting the people who raised them to see the lives they’ve built, the strange ways family members show pride and gratitude, and what it means to give them access to experiences they may never have imagined for themselves. If you’ve ever: Tried to “life max” your way into having it togetherRealized getting dressed somehow requires more effort than it used toTurned a random chore into an entire philosophical experienceBrought your family somewhere nice and immediately regretted itHad to explain an acronym to an older relativeRealized you might actually be parenting your parents …this episode is for you.

    S2E15: Did the VMAs Lose Their Magic? | Pop Stars, Boy Bands & Music Nostalgia

    Sasha and Glory are going back to a time when the VMAs felt like the biggest night in pop culture, music videos were events, and becoming an MTV VJ felt like an actual career path. From the performances everyone talked about the next morning to the artists who made an entire generation stop and watch, they’re asking the question: did the VMAs lose their magic — or did growing up change the way we experience pop culture?In this episode, Sasha and Glory get into what happened to the pop star, whether record labels started prioritizing algorithms over actual talent, and why today’s award-show performances rarely feel as risky or unforgettable. They revisit the glory days of TRL, MTV Tres, 106 & Park, True Life and Becoming, while remembering the shows, videos and performers that shaped their childhoods.They also settle some of the most important debates of our time: Backstreet Boys or *NSYNC? Who was the real star of the Spice Girls? And which Britney Spears album belongs in the pop-music hall of fame? Sasha explains how *NSYNC slowly won her over with hit after hit, even if her heart still belongs to the Backstreet Boys.But underneath all the nostalgia is a deeper conversation about the way music holds our memories. Sasha and Glory reflect on the songs that instantly transport them to childhood, the hopeful futures they imagined while listening to 2010s festival music, and why adulthood can make the world feel smaller than it once did. They talk about reconnecting with their inner child, finding freedom again and remembering that nobody ever said grown women couldn’t wear glitter pants.And, of course, one conversation about the overwhelming state of the world somehow becomes a debate over whether anyone is still allowed to eat lettuce and cherries. 🥬🍒😭If you’ve ever:Waited all year for the VMAs Argued over Backstreet Boys versus *NSYNC Had one song unlock a memory you forgot you had Missed the version of yourself who felt endlessly hopeful about the future Needed permission to wear the glitter pants anyway …this episode is for you.Watch or listen to the full episode of Morir Soñando now on every podcast platform. 🎧💛 Join the Morir Soñando Patreon for early access, bonus content, and more chaotic conversations.

    S2E9: “Esa Canción No Va…” ft. Hamilton

    Sasha and Glory are putting their Spanish to the ultimate test. In their first-ever all-Spanish episode, Colombian artist Hamilton joins them for a conversation about music, culture, heartbreak, and what it means to trust your instincts as an artist.In this episode, Hamilton takes Sasha and Glory through his journey from Cartagena to becoming one of the artists bringing Colombian Afrobeat to a global audience. He opens up about the music and culture that shaped him, the artists who inspired him, touring with Ryan Castro, and what it feels like to watch the career he once dreamed about become his real life.What starts as a conversation about his music quickly turns into something deeper: how you know when a song is actually good, why the people closest to you don’t always see the vision, and how some of the best music can come from the moments you least expect. Hamilton shares how friends made him doubt “For Life” before it became one of the songs listeners connected with most, why he turned heartbreak into gratitude on “Gracias Por Aparecer,” and how a voice note from his mom unexpectedly found its way onto Afro Rockstar. They also get into the African roots behind the sounds coming out of Cartagena, why Hamilton believes music and culture can’t be separated, the story behind his new song “Jamaica,” and, of course, a few Colombian words Sasha and Glory may or may not be ready to add to their vocabulary. If you’ve ever:Doubted something you created because of someone else’s opinionHad a song completely change your moodTurned heartbreak into something beautifulWondered where your favorite sounds and genres come fromHad to trust your vision before anyone else could see itDreamed about taking what you love further than you ever imagined…this episode is for you.💛 Join the Morir Soñando Patreon for early access, bonus content, and more chaotic conversations.
