The Level Up Latina Podcast

Healing Your Inner Niña for the Holidays, Episode 319

The holidays bring out a lot... the joy, the chaos, the chisme… and sometimes the wounds we thought we outgrew. In this week’s episode, we’re talking about healing our inner niña during one of the most emotionally charged seasons of the year.

We unpack how childhood patterns show up around family gatherings, money, traditions, expectations, and those “¿y tu novio?” questions. We get honest about what triggers us, what comforts us, and how we can create new rituals that honor who we are now — not just who we had to be growing up.

Join us for a heartfelt and real conversation on giving ourselves permission to re-set, feel, set boundaries, and to show up with compassion for ourselves.

If you’ve ever needed a reminder that healing is possible (even with tías asking for the 10th time about your life choices), this episode is for you.

Tune in, reflect, and maybe hug your inner niña a little tighter this season.

A Random Show with “Chata”, Episode 318

In this random episode of the Level Up Latina Podcast, we flipped the script and let our very own “Chata” (aka ChatGPT) take the lead and answered her questions about life, family, & growth.

Expect laughter, unexpected honesty, and some deep reflection as we talk about the things that make us proud, surprising things happening, generational patterns we’re breaking, and the version of ourselves we’re choosing to leave behind in 2025. 

It’s a little unfiltered, a little therapeutic, and a whole lot of real. Grab your cafecito and join the conversation... you might find yourself answering these same questions, too.

What are YOU ready to release in this season of your life?

Embracing Your 'Soft Era', Episode 317

Everyone’s talking about being in their “this era” or “that era,” but what about stepping into a soft era? In this week’s LUL podcast, we explore what it really means to embrace softness—guilt-free, without apologizing, and without confusing rest for laziness. Or as our mommas would say… being flojas. This is a cannot-miss-topic!

Navigating Perimenopause, Episode 316

We are not doctors, of course, but we are women entering our mid-40s, and it's been a wild ride as our bodies and moods have evolved with age. We suspect perimenopause is here, so in this episode, with a bit of TMI, we share what's showing up for us these days. We cover it all from night sweats to laking libido and so much more. This is a show for everyone at any stage of life! 

Parenting Our Kids and Reparenting our Parents as Millennials, Episode 315

Today’s episode title is a mouthful and for good reason. As first-gen Latinas, we’re parenting and reparenting every single day. We live in that in-between space: raised one way by our parents, yet raising our own kids in a completely different world.

There’s healing here. There’s unlearning. There’s love, and yes, sometimes tears. We open our hearts in this conversation, asking questions like: What does it mean to say “I’m sorry” while still waiting to hear it from our parents?

This one’s raw, real, and deeply relatable. We hope you’ll tune in to feel seen, maybe shed a tear (we sure did), and share in the beautiful mess of growing, healing, and breaking cycles... together.

Am I The Bully? (The Random Show), Episode 314

In this episode, we bring you our monthly fan-favorite: the random show where we talk about whatever comes to mind. In this show, we always let the conversation flow and it flowed right into bullying. How to handle it at home, at work, or even as part of our upbringing/history!

We also talk parenting and the chaos of morning routines, raising teens, keeping up with slang, and more!

Don't miss it!

Resiliency, Legacy, and Personal Growth, Episode 313

On this episode we discuss the rollercoaster of life that requires us to grow, heal, and evolve. Resiliency feels like a mandatory part of the human experience especially as first-gen. Latinas. Today, we talk about how healing, and not hustling, is the new definition of strength. We share our journeys of personal growth and how we created our heartfelt legacies along the way. All women need to hear this gem of an episode. You will so glad you did!

Parenting In The Age of Social Media, Episode 312

For the women of LUL growing up in the 80's was magical, simple, and oh so PRIVATE! Later, when in college, social media, cell phones with apps, and live streaming didn't exist and that was a good thing!

Now, as we raise our children (ages 3-19), life is completely different and while technology helps it may also deeply hurt when unchecked! Listen to this episode if you're in need of parenthood advice as it relates to raising kids in this wild and crazy digital age! 

Would You Rather Game, Episode 311

Looking for 40 minutes of fun? Look no further than today's LUL podcast. Episode 311 is a silly one where we play a little game of 'Would You Rather?'. This is one that will make you think about where you've been and where you are headed. Stream it and join the conversation online by commenting your answers for each of our questions! On social media, like and share and tell us your answers via DM! We love hearing from YOU!

Gloomy Fall Motivation, Episode 310

Sometimes we all need a pick-me-up... especially when the winter blues kick in. In this episode, the women of LUL get real about the simple, sustainable ways they stay motivated and protect their peace. We share how we keep our sanity this time of year, how we remember to do it "mostly-all" guilt-free, and why giving ourselves grace (and embracing the pivot) matters more than ever. Expect practical tips, quick mindset resets, and a few laughs to warm things up.

If you’re craving support to get back to your leveled-up goals, this one’s your cozy push to start again... with intention, ease, and zero guilt.

Don’t miss it.
