Balancing work life with summer fun isn’t always a walk on the beach, but it can be! In this empowering episode, your coaches dive into real-world strategies for asking for flexibility, owning your priorities, assessing your current work culture, and showing why you deserve work perks that make sense for your lifestyle.

Tune in to Episode 295 of the Level Up Latina podcast for the confidence, framework, and tips to shape your work schedule so that summer can be productive and delightful. Listening to this show is ideal for professionals seeking summer freedom without slowing down their careers or moms looking for the confidence to ask for improved work-life balance.

The Mental Load & Letting Go, Episode 294

In this all-too-relatable episode, the Level Up Latina team dives deep into the invisible weight women carry every day — the mental load of running households, raising children, managing careers, and yes, often micromanaging partners who could be doing more. But this isn't just a venting session — it's a lesson in reclaiming your peace, your time, and your power.

As life coaches dedicated to helping women set boundaries and build healthier habits, we explore the roots of micromanagement, the emotional toll of doing "everything," and how to shift your mindset to foster partnership, not parenting, in your marriage. This episode offers real talk on stress management, intentional communication, and how to stop the burnout cycle before it starts.

Whether you're a wife, a mother, or a working woman juggling it all, this episode will speak to your soul — and give you tools to finally put down the weight you've been carrying alone. You don’t have to do it all. And you certainly don’t have to do it alone.

Tune in and start the work toward living lighter, leading smarter, and loving stronger.

Simple Summer Rituals for a Season of You, Episode 293

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.

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.
