    Inside A Unicorn's Mind

    STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING — this is the episode you didn’t know you needed today.  If you’ve ever struggled with mental health, grown up in a culture where “we don’t talk about that,” or used survival mode as your personality… this episode is going to hit you right in the heart.. In this raw, honest, and deeply human conversation, I’m taking you through the parts of my story I’ve never sugar‑coated — growing up around alcoholism, navigating my sexuality in a traditional Hispanic household, the first time I experienced a full mental breakdown, and the moment my little baby sister walked in and I realized something had to change. You’ll hear how I went from Xanax and beer as coping mechanisms (yes, that was a thing — “my mom would rather me drink a beer than take medication” ) to checking myself into a clinic, rebuilding my mind, and discovering the tools that actually saved my life — therapy, movement, personal development, and learning to reprogram the beliefs I grew up with. This episode is your reminder that:✨ You’re not broken.✨ You’re not alone.✨ Healing is messy, but it’s possible.✨ And you deserve a life that feels peaceful, grounded, and yours. If you’ve been carrying things you never had the space to process… press play.  Your healing era starts the moment you decide you’re done surviving and ready to start living. 👉 Listen now, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more Latinas can find this message@unicornsdoexist

  3. Can You Really Be Friends With Your Ex?

    Can You Really Be Friends With Your Ex?

    If you’ve ever wondered whether you can really stay friends with an ex — or why it feels easier with some people and impossible with others — this episode is about to drag you (lovingly) into the truth you’ve been avoiding. In this episode, Vanessa breaks down the messy, hilarious, and surprisingly tender world of staying friends with your exes — from long-term relationships to those short-lived “situationships” that barely lasted a season. We dive into why some breakups lead to genuine friendship, why others need a clean break, and how emotional attachment (or lack of it) plays a huge role. We also explore the BIG question:Is it more common in same-sex relationships to stay friends with your ex?  Vanessa shares her real-life experiences — from being friends with ex-girlfriends, to maintaining relationships with her ex-wife’s exes, to finally becoming friends with an ex-boyfriend who originally wanted nothing to do with her. We unpack community dynamics, emotional intimacy, and why queer relationships often create “chosen family” instead of clean exits. Plus, we bring in insights inspired by relationship therapist Esther Perel, who reminds us that post-breakup friendships can work — but only when the relationship is redefined with clarity, boundaries, and emotional honesty. If you’re navigating a breakup, redefining a relationship, or trying to understand your own patterns, this episode gives you the real talk, the psychology, and the humor you didn’t know you needed.
