Around the holidays , we can get worked up, literally. We can be working, being around family, and worried about having a great holiday. I mean who doesn't want a good holiday or even a good day in general. It's important to recognize a lot of our stress comes from societal expectations and how hard we can be on ourselves. In this segment, I encourage you to give back to yourself. I always say "when you are giving something, you are also letting go". It all starts with how we think, and then how we feel about what we are thinking. Around this time of the year, let's be mindful that we are only one person and no one should hold it against us, let's stop the people pleasing and start speaking up for ourselves so we can be happier and more healed. Let me know what are your thoughts.

Blessings, Angel Rios

Taking an hiatus was a smart move but at first it didn't feel like it. I started my Master's Program in Social Work and I have learned a lot about how I should be taking it on. Although I have done plenty of reading and writing research papers, in hindsight I have built some skills and habits along the way. Most of all I know I shouldn't be dreading it, because I take away from the experience. The time I had gave me clarity of myself as a professional but also as an individual. I'm feeling refreshed to speak more of what I've been learning in order to navigate through challenges, break down stigma, and build an experience we can appreciate! Glad to be back family 🤞🏽

Life isn’t about chasing every quick fix or tip to succeed—it’s about learning to pause, trust the process, and see the bigger picture. Challenges aren’t roadblocks; they’re proof that you’re growing and stepping into new levels of your life. When things feel forced, it may be life’s way of guiding you toward something greater. Stepping back, reflecting on your progress, and embracing each hurdle with patience can turn struggles into stepping stones toward your true purpose.
