The Level Up Latina Podcast

Travel Personas & Lifestyles, Episode 341

From expert travelers to seasoned summer explorers, we absolutely love travel at LUL, but not in the way people casually list it in their dating profiles. Here, travel is a lifestyle. Our co-hosts share about their travel personas, style, habits, and likes in this free-spirit episode. This is a great one to listen to as we gear up for a summer full of adventures! No matter how big or small... vacations and adventures are an important part of life. Stream this one to get inspired to travel even further than before!

The Evolution of Friendship, Episode 340

Episode 340 has us reflecting on something we all experience: how life changes and what that means for friendship over time.

As the decades pass, friendships evolve, too. In this honest conversation, we explore what it means to hold onto friendships today, how to nurture them, when it may be time to let some go, and the guilt that can sometimes come with change.

Join us for a heartfelt reflection on the passage of time, changing seasons of life, and the friendships that shape us along the way.

Type A Versus Type B Working Styles, Episode 339

In episode 339 of the LUL podcast, we unpack the different working styles people bring into the workplace and why neither approach is wrong.

We cover why Type A and Type B coworkers often misunderstand each other, how to borrow strengths from one another instead of judging differences, and how to create fair boundaries and expectations that actually work for everyone!

This episode is honest, practical, and probably a little too relatable if you’ve ever thought: “Why do they work like that?” 

The truth? Different doesn’t mean difficult. Sometimes people just have different operating procedures and it's always good to understand theirs + ours in order to thrive.

Random Show on Politics, Music and More, Episode 338

As always, on the last Wed. of the month, today we bring you our monthly random show. In this episode, we get into a little bit of everything from this crazy political climate and the memes it produces to music and travel adventures. Two of the three hosts had fun & surprising spring break trips this month and one got a promotion through hard work and manifestation. Lots to catch up on with our LUL comadres. Don't miss it!

Earth Day Chat: Sustainable Habits, Episode 337

In honor of Earth Day, we are talking about what sustainability means to us. In this episode, we chat about how we care for the earth and look to inspire each other in the process. 

We also recognize that some of our actions today are informed by how we grew up as Latinas and by our travels, which give us a broad perspective on just how precious Earth is.

Have you ever thought about your fingerprint on this plant and how it's impacted your daily life?

 

 

The Gray Area of Loyalty, Episode 336

We've got a juicy episode today!

Another listener-requested topic got us talking about what we are calling the "gray area of loyalty," if there can be such a thing!

Not everything is cheating... or is it? Are secrets ever okay in relationships? Do "happy people" cheat?

Stream this one to join the debate, and feel free to chime in on this hot topic in the comments or DMs, because we know this one may provoke a heated debate! What one unit considers cheating is definitely different from couple to couple, and no judgment here (or maybe just a little).... you'll need to listen to find out how we see it. Don't miss this one!

Career Conversations and How To Stay on Top, Episode 335

We are talking about all things that will help you glow up in your career moves. Maybe that means leveling up your skills (think AI), changing careers to a new industry, not giving up during a long, exhausting job search, or pivoting to a side hustle.

Latinas are doing it all, and your three co-hosts have been there, too.

Please join this conversation to stay focused on evolving your career through new skills, mindset shifts, and creativity. And if you are tired of thinking about your career and what comes next then turn to 1:1 career coaching with us.

Expert Advice on Perimenopause and Menopause, with Special Guest Dr. Jennifer Roelands, Episode 334

As “cuarentonas y buenonas,” we are absolutely interested in all things related to midlife health and wellness.

The Random Show on Memories, Trauma and the In Between, Episode 333

Episode 333 of the LUL podcast is super heartfelt. We talk about memories, some filled with joy and others with melancholy and sadness. The core ones that stay with us, the sad ones that make us laugh today, and the ones that make us cry. We share candidly on how we look back on our childhoods and what they mean to us now.

This is a short and sweet show intended to bring listeners to a moment of pause and reflection. Trigger warning: while we may laugh about memories that might seem traumatic, we know memories are different for all. So in this episode we are simply holding space, sharing through tears and laughter without judgment. So, as with every show where we are authenticly ourselves, please listen with care. 

The Balancing Act of Parenthood (+Travel), Episode 332

Balancing motherhood, partnership, and careers that require travel is not always pretty, but it is real. In this LUL episode, Vero opens up about navigating young kids while working and holding it down when her husband travels. Cecy shares how she has learned to plan ahead and create rhythm in her home so things don’t fall apart when schedules shift. And Irene reflects on how this season has evolved over time with older kids, more independence, and more space to step outside of the home for work and for herself.

What has helped us most is not perfection but intention. Systems that keep the household running, humor when things inevitably go sideways, taking breaks without guilt, and being honest with our partners, our kids, and ourselves about what we need. Balance is not about doing everything equally it is about doing what matters most with clarity and support.

If you are in a season where you are juggling it all, this episode is your reminder that you are not alone. It gets lighter, it gets clearer, and you are allowed to grow into new versions of yourself along the way. This is what the level up really looks like.
