Dear Babygurl: Notes on Life, Leadership, & Liberation is what happens when your therapist tia, your coach bestie, and your higher self start a group chat. This is a love letter—for my niece, and for every mujer, daughter of immigrant, queer, BIPOC, first-gen soul learning to live and lead on their own terms. Hosted by Carmen Aceves Iñiguez—licensed therapist, leadership coach, queer Xicana. This bi-weekly podcast serves up stories, side-eyes, and soul work. If you're tired of the “shoulds,” burnt out by hustle culture, and ready to laugh-cry your way to liberation, you’re in the right place.Carmen Aceves-Iñiguez Personal Development Personal Success

  • 026 - Accepting What Is
    Jun 25 2026

    What if peace begins the moment we stop arguing with reality?

    In this episode, I explore the quiet but transformative practice of accepting what is. Not because we approve of every circumstance or stop working for change, but because resisting reality often keeps us stuck. We talk about the difference between acceptance and resignation, how our nervous system responds when we stop fighting what already is, and why acceptance can become the very place from which wise action begins.

    If this episode resonated with you, I'd be so grateful if you'd follow the show, leave a rating or review, and share it with someone who might need this conversation today. ❤️

    Jun 10 2026

    This week, I'm reflecting on the bittersweet beauty of endings and the uncertainty of new beginnings. From my youngest son's elementary school graduation, to relationships that have reached their natural conclusion, to the ways life continually asks us to let go and begin again.

    This episode is an invitation to honor the chapters that are complete and trust what comes next.

  • 024 - From Seed to Voice
    May 27 2026

    On growth, consistency, courage, and becoming

    This month marks several anniversaries for me:

    • the first birthday of Dear Babygurl!!!!
    • the anniversary of my private practice
    • graduating from my counseling psychology program

    Most meaningful things begin as seeds. Quiet things. Tender things.
    Things that don’t yet look impressive on the outside. This episode is for anyone:

    • building something slowly
    • learning to trust their voice
    • resisting hustle culture
    • tending to a dream without immediate proof
    • or wondering whether their quiet consistency matters

    Babygurl…sometimes the life you’re building is growing roots long before you can see the bloom.

    If this episode resonated with you, please consider:

    • rating the podcast
    • leaving a review
    • sharing an episode
