Listen "Stop glorifying hustle culture and start redefining success"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode, I'm unpacking the weight of hustle culture—especially how it shows up for first-gen Latinas like me. That constant pressure to be productive, to prove we belong, to carry our families and represent our communities—it’s heavy. And let’s be honest, it can burn us out. I talk about what it feels like to be emotionally tied to expectations we never signed up for, and how I’m learning to redefine success in a way that actually feels good. Not performative, not just for show—but real, aligned, and rooted in self-care. Because a life that just looks successful isn’t enough. Welcome to the show!
