The Level Up Latina Podcast

Simple Summer Rituals for a Season of You, Episode 293

As we head into the hustle and heat of summer, we’re intentionally slowing things down on the Level Up Latina Podcast. In this feel-good episode, Coach Cecy leads the convo with her signature wisdom and calm, guiding us through the power of simple summer rituals that nurture self-care, self-love, and you-time.

We’re talking about those small-but-mighty habits that bring peace, joy, and balance—whether it’s a quiet morning coffee, a solo beach walk, or finally saying “no” to things that drain you like being overbooked.

If you’re craving an intentional summer filled with ease, presence, and just enough structure to feel your best, this episode is your gentle nudge to prioritize YOU.

Tune in, slow down with us, and let this episode be your permission slip to simplify and shine this summer.

And as always—share it with a friend who could use this reminder too. 💛

Random Real Talk & Ridiculous Trends, Episode 292

On today’s short but oh-so-satisfying episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we’re serving up a little bit of everything because life is rarely one-dimensional and neither are we.

From the unfortunate realities of periods (yes, we went there!) to reflections on a brand-new pope, and our hot takes on the trends that seriously need to disappear already... this episode is the definition of random realness.

Whether you're multitasking on your commute, hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace, or just craving some lighthearted chisme with your favorite comadres, we promise this episode will feel like a warm hug and a good belly laugh rolled into one.

So hit play, laugh with us, and don’t forget to share your own random thoughts; we love hearing from you! Comment, like, and pass this episode along to your amigas who could use a dose of feel-good chaos.

Gracias for always tuning in, growing with us, and finding joy in the little things!

Laid Off, But Not Left Behind, Episode 291

Being laid off can feel like the rug has been pulled out from under you. Whether you're facing a layoff yourself or supporting a loved one through it, this experience can be shocking, humbling, and downright brutal. In this episode, the Level Up Latina coaches get real about job loss — a reality they’ve each faced personally or are currently helping clients and friends navigate.

We dive into the emotional toll of being laid off, the practical steps to take immediately after, and how to find your footing again with clarity and confidence. From processing grief and rebuilding self-worth to exploring new opportunities and pivoting with purpose, this conversation is packed with compassionate insight and actionable advice.

This is a must-listen for anyone who’s ever been impacted by a layoff — or wants to be better equipped to support someone going through one. Tune in to hear how to bounce back stronger, rewrite your next chapter, and remember that your worth is never defined by your job.

The Sandwich Generation, Part 2, Episode 290

On this episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we dive into Part 2 of an important and deeply personal topic: The Sandwich Generation.

A thoughtful listener asked us to revisit what it means to be part of this generation—caught in the middle of raising children while also caring for aging parents. It’s a challenging season of life, especially for first-gen Latinas navigating the responsibilities of motherhood alongside supporting parents who may face language barriers, cultural differences, or limited access to healthcare and financial systems.

We open up about our own journeys, the pressures and rewards of this phase, and how we lean on one another to grow into better mothers and daughters. Tune in as we share insights, lessons learned, and practical advice for anyone living this delicate balancing act.
