When the life you built breaks, what breaks open? Jessica—Bronx-born educator and mom—lets us inside her pending divorce: the shock, the anger, and the grind through the five stages of grief. From suddenly plowing through separation documents to quiet nights, she confronts identity, safety, and the courage to endure without losing herself.

This isn’t gossip; it’s a roadmap to rebuilding—setting boundaries, co-parenting with grace, and choosing self-love first. If you’re standing at the edge of an ending, press play for practical tools, hard-won hope, and a reminder that you’re stronger than the story that hurt you.

I sit down with a powerhouse from the Bronx Chapter of 100 Hispanic Women — President Miguelina Camilo and surprise guest Vice President Virna Crespo.

We talked about their mission to uplift Latinas through education, mentorship, and real opportunity.

From immigrant roots to law, politics, and public service, she's cultivated a community-driven network that’s breaking stereotypes and opening doors.

Whether you're chasing your dreams, searching for mentors, or just wanting to be reminded that we rise by lifting each other — this conversation is for you.

In this episode of FYI-IAD, we dive deep into the emotional terrain that most men are taught to avoid. I sit down with Franco, one of the creators of We Forgive to Live, for a real, unfiltered conversation about what it actually means for a man to open his heart.

And why it's one of the riskiest and most powerful things we can do. We talk about the weight of generational patterns, the pressure to protect while hiding our own pain, and how emotional safety isn’t just for women — men crave it too.

Whether you're a man, a partner, or a parent trying to show up differently, this episode hits deep.

One of the rare times that I speak to someone so modest about their strength to overcome something so heavy; Iliana is a rare breed. Listen as she details her journey with breast cancer and how her mindset is all the way forward, for herself, her health, and her family.

Time to get back to it, thank you for taking the ride again with me for season three.

Starting it at an uneven time in my life to say the least, but discipline teaches you to always get back up and with a steady motion, put one foot in front of the other, no matter what.
