Trauma, Tacos & True Crime is a true crime podcast hosted by La Dama del Desmadre—a half-Mexican, half-Nicaraguan, Cali born-mom of five with a dark sense of humor and a lot to say. Each episode explores true crimes, and the psychological aftermath left behind, alongside motherhood chaos, cultural commentary, and humor that cuts through the heaviness. This is not a therapy podcast. There are no glow-ups, no fixing women, and no pretending healing has to look pretty. Just real stories, honest conversations, and laughing when life makes no sense.

  • The Bathroom...The One Who Felt Everything Later
    May 20 2026

    Why did so many of us end up crying in the bathroom growing up? This episode talks about the role of the one who learned to hold everything together for now and fall apart later, alone. The one who became “fine” during the chaos… and emotional only after the day was over.

    We talk about delayed emotions, crying quietly, emotional survival, and why some people don’t even realize how overwhelmed they are until they’re finally alone.

    And yes… we’re also talking about why the bathroom floor heard absolutely everything..

  • The Living Room Performer- Smiling Through It.
    May 6 2026

    Was your house the one that looked fine… even when it wasn’t?

    This episode breaks down the role of the one who learned how to perform—how to smile, act normal, and keep things looking okay, even though something didn't feel right.. We talk about what happens when appearances matter more than the truth, and how that turns into people pleasing and emotional hiding as an adult, and why being “easy” isn’t always what it seems.

    Not judging. Just keeping it real.
