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.

In this episode, Vee invites you into a cozy life catch-up before diving deep into the heart work of your 30s. She shares spring break plans, outlet trips, Easter prep, and quality-time traditions with her daughter from roller skating dates to Gilmore Girls nights . She opens up about the realities of mom life when your kids’ schedules leave you missing them all day. She also talks about the bittersweet side of long-distance friendship, and how much it means when your best friend feels more like family.

Then Vee gets real about her non-negotiables in her 30s—the standards she now refuses to bend on. She breaks down why her peace comes before proving a point, how she’s learned to set boundaries without guilt, and why she’s done with one-sided relationships that leave her feeling like an afterthought. Vee talks about meeting people where they meet you and letting go of invisible expectations. She also shares how being selective with access, trusting her intuition, and treating privacy as a luxury have completely changed her life.

If you’re in your 30s (or any age) trying to protect your energy, love your people better, and choose yourself without guilt, this episode will feel like a soul check-in with your Latina Amiga who gets it.

Vee is back with life updates, mama real talk, and plenty of Chisme. She shares how changing agencies and building a new home office has changed her content creator workflow, plus the small daily habits she’s using to be more intentional in her 30s. She then opens up about Vivi’s experience in Delaware public school—constant substitutes, too much Chromebook time, and kids falling behind—and why she’s seriously considering homeschooling.

To close, Vee dives into the latest drama from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Taylor Frankie Paul, the pulled Bachelorette season, toxic patterns, and how reality TV mixes real-life pain with entertainment. She shows love for women like Miranda, Whitney, and Jesse while still calling out messy behavior and the lack of accountability. Next week, Vee will be breaking down her non-negotiables in her 30s and what intentional parenting looks like for her.
