Breaking Cycles As A Latina Mama

In this episode of The Chisme Coroner, Vee catches you up on spring break life, from museum-hopping in Washington D.C. and soaking in art and history, to outlet shopping, Disney Crocs, and experimenting with new styles as she navigates her mid-30s and tries to “elevate” her look. Then she gets vulnerable about intentional parenting as a Puerto Rican mom—what it means to parent on purpose instead of autopilot, to choose connection over control, and to raise an emotionally healthy child while still healing her own childhood wounds. Vee opens up about breaking generational cycles around fear, yelling, and emotional suppression, learning to set boundaries without screaming, apologizing to her daughter when she’s wrong, and re-parenting the little girl inside her who didn’t always feel heard. At the heart of it all, she shares her desire to raise a strong, confident, emotionally safe Latina daughter who doesn’t have to recover from her childhood, and speaks directly to all the parents who are healing and breaking cycles while still showing up every day, even when they’re not okay.
