Welcome to my sixth episode of Charlemos Juntas. In this episode, I am joined by my sister-in-law, Morena, who talks about her life as an immigrant. Morena was born in El Salvador and lived there until she was 16. She talks about her mother making the difficult decision to leave El Salvador to try and create a better life for her family. Morena opens up about how difficult it was for her to grow up without her mother around, missing important milestones in her life. She talks about how her grandmother and aunts helped raise her and give her a good childhood. Morena describes her decision to come to the United States as something she always considered and jumped at the opportunity when one of her uncles decided to migrate, in search of better opportunities. She opens up about how hard it was at first because her mother had more children after she came to the US. She didn't know what it was like to be an older sister and it was something she had to adjust to. Morena also talks about how difficult it was to learn English at 16 and attend school in a new country. She talks about how she came to Texas where she met her husband and now has a beautiful family. She talks about the great support that her husband gives her and how hard he works every day to provide for his family. She also mentions the great support system she has with her in-laws and how loved her children are by their grandparents. In conclusion, Morena provides some advice to Latinas going through similar situations.

Don't give up. No te rindas.

Welcome to my FIFTH episode (I accidentally said sixth) of Charlemos Juntas. In this episode, my special guest Isabel, joins me and talks about her struggles through her school years and how she decided to stop speaking Spanish to try and fit in. Isabel also talks about her mom and how she navigated through single motherhood while also being an immigrant from Panama. We discuss how racism is not one-sided and we are judged by the color of our skin, even by our own people. Isabel talks a little bit about her biological father and how he is a total mystery, leaving her wondering who he is. We randomly dive into the topic of relationships and what our relationships mean to us. Isabel talks about navigating through tough relationships and healing from them. We discuss how it is okay to be career-driven and to be a SAH wife/mom. Isabel opens up about her experience with abortion and how it was not an easy decision. I open up about my experiences with miscarriages and how they each affected me differently. We also talk about how becoming a mother is not a decision that comes lightly. The world is scary and dangerous and because of that, we are hesitant to bring children into it. We talk about how shootings that have happened in the past affect the way we live our lives today. I talk about my experience with a man who followed me home and how my life has not been the same since. Isabel gives some good advice and talks about how life does get better as long as you are willing to keep fighting.

Welcome to my fourth episode and my first solo episode! In this episode, I talk about supporters in your life. Sometimes all we want is for our family, friends, and acquaintances to support us in our goals but they criticize instead. When talking to someone about your goals and dreams, do they look at you weird and tell you that it'll be impossible? With my new endeavor, this podcast, many people that I have supported in the past haven't shown their support to me. I talk about how that has made me feel and what I am working on to move past it. In this episode, I also discuss wanting to defend my name, especially if I know I haven't done anything wrong. Not everyone has good intentions and there is nothing you can do about what they think about you. I talk about how I am still learning to let go, no matter who the person is.

People will try to knock you down, especially if you are reaching goals they never could. All you need is to believe in yourself and support yourself. Don't give up on those dreams and keep moving
