  • DAY 6: SHADOW WORK SERIES
    Jan 31 2026

    Today’s question cuts deep:
    What truth am I terrified to speak out loud?

    This one?
    Not for the faint of heart.

    This is for the brave soul who is exhausted from shrinking.
    Tired of hiding.
    Tired of betraying their own spirit just to keep everyone else comfortable.

    Because the truth you’re afraid to say?
    That’s not the problem.

    That’s the doorway.
    That’s the key.
    That’s the medicine.

    In this episode, I don’t just speak my truth—I claim it.
    I cast it.
    I breathe life back into the parts of myself that were silenced for survival.

    And I invite you to do the same.

    Because when you finally name what you’ve been avoiding…
    When you dare to say the unspeakable…
    When you stop swallowing your truth to keep the peace…

    That’s when real healing begins.

    So don’t rush this one.
    Sit with it.
    Say it out loud—even if your voice shakes.
    Let it move through your body. Let it rewrite your reality.

    Your truth isn’t here to destroy you.
    It’s here to set you free.

  • DAY 5: SHADOW WORK SERIES!
    Jan 30 2026

    Today’s question is simple… and dangerous in the best way:
    What story do I tell about myself that keeps me small?

    Bebé… we need to talk.
    And I’m saying this with love—and a little tough tía energy.

    That whole “I’m just not that type of person” narrative?
    Yeah… that’s probably not your personality.

    That’s your trauma costume, mami.
    And you’ve been wearing it so long, you think it’s your skin.

    You’re not “too shy.”
    You were trained to be quiet.

    You’re not “not a leader.”
    You were taught it wasn’t safe to be powerful.

    You’re not “low maintenance.”
    You just got used to not being prioritized.

    Let’s be real for a second.
    Half the internet is out here selling self-love in cute Canva quotes while still living in “I’m not the type” trauma loops.

    And you?
    You’re over here convincing yourself you’re not made for more—when the truth is, you ARE the more.
    You just don’t recognize yourself without the shrinkage.

    So today, we rip up the script.

    Ask yourself:
    👉🏽 What story am I telling myself that’s keeping me small?
    👉🏽 Who gave me that story?
    👉🏽 And what would change if I stopped believing it?

    You do not owe loyalty to the version of you that was built on survival.
    It’s safe to outgrow the coping mechanisms that got you here.
    It’s safe to be loud, seen, soft, powerful, and tender—all at the same time.

    Because let’s be honest…

    The “small” you?
    That was never the real you anyway.

    Drop the story that’s gotta GO.
    We’re burning that sh*t together. 🔥

  • 🧠 DAY 4 — SHADOW WORK SERIES
    Jan 29 2026

    Today’s question is a real one:
    Where do I intellectually know I’m worthy… but still don’t feel it in my bones?

    Whew. This one grabbed me by the edge of my hoop earrings and sat me all the way down.

    Because let’s be honest—a lot of us know we’re worthy.
    We say the affirmations.
    We’ve read the books.
    We’re doing the therapy, the healing, the spiritual work.

    But if you still feel like you have to hustle for love…
    Overachieve for validation…
    Or stay perfect just to be accepted…

    Baby, that’s not a motivation problem.
    That’s a wound.

    That’s the gap between what you know in your mind and what your body still believes.

    Shadow work isn’t always crying into a candle or pulling cards—it’s realizing that perfectionism can be a trauma response. That your inner niña, that little girl inside of you, learned early that love had to be earned. That peace came from productivity. That rest meant laziness or danger.

    But that’s not truth.
    That’s conditioning.

    So today, I’m inviting you to get radically honest with yourself.
    Ask: Where do I know I’m worthy—but still don’t feel it?
    What part of me is still trying to earn space, affection, or success?

    And when you find her, be gentle.

    That version of you wasn’t created to be shamed.
    She was built for protection.
    And now? She’s ready to be freed.

    If you feel called to work with me, I’d love to have you—but as always, follow your intuition when choosing any spiritual advisor, even if that means you don’t work with me.

    And if this series is helping you, please support it in whatever way you can—like, comment, share, or even send it to yourself. These platforms don’t pay me or monetize this work, but your engagement keeps this medicine moving.

    Thank you for being here.
    I love you.
    And we keep going. 💛🔥
