Grab your snacks & get cozy because this Galentine's Day we're keeping it in the family! I'm joined by Vivi and my niece, Aly, for a fun kid-friendly chat made just for the littles (and the aunties and mamas who love them)!

We talk about growing up, school, friendships, what makes a good friend, our dream days, and what they want to do when they’re older. The girls share their hot takes on parents, social media trends, college, cheer, and even what makes someone “cool” these days. There’s plenty of laughs, story time from our Jersey days, and sweet advice for other kids their age about staying true to themselves and focusing on their future.

Whether you’re listening with your kiddos or just want something light, sweet, and girlie for Galentine’s, this episode feels like a cozy sleepover with family. We are family here at The Chisme Corner—there’s always more room for chisme… and for our girlies. 💗

In this episode of The Chisme Corner, I'm joined by my girl Mari (@in.mari.fashion), fashion influencer, entrepreneur, and creative mind, for some real girl talk, laughs, and very honest conversations. We get into how her love for fashion was shaped by 80s fashion, and how personal style isn't fixed, it evolves with the seasons of our lives. Mari also opens up about stepping back into corporate life and the challenges of navigating a male-dominated space as a Latina woman, while simultaneously wrestling with the pressure of being "just an influencer". Of course, we sprinkle in some nostalgia from iconic novelas we grew up watching (and why we low-key miss the dramatic smacking LOL), to joking about how women are expected to always be "on" and productive... especially if that's what you grew up on. No Sick Days, Mija!

This episode is funny, reflective, empowering, and very us. If you've ever questioned your identity, your career path, your creativity, or why you're exhausted all the time, PULL UP CHISMOSA! This one's for you!

Vee is back after an unexpected sick week and a wild snowstorm that left the streets covered in ice and everyone stuck at home. She shifts into something much heavier: the recent federal immigration raids in the Minneapolis area. She walks you through what’s been happening, including the heartbreaking story of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, who was detained with his father, and the tragic shootings of two U.S. citizens by immigration agents. Vee talks openly about the fear, anger, and grief so many are feeling. She also explains why watching violence and family separations play out on our feeds is not normal, and encourages listeners to hold on to empathy and humanity. Then she changes gears into the Desmond and Kristy Scott divorce that’s been all over social media. She unpacks how quickly public opinion flipped from "relationship goals" to "I knew it was fake" and the blurred line between sharing your relationship online and protecting it. She then lightens the mood with some pop culture and recs: a spoiler-light gush about "His And Hers" on Netflix (based on Alice Feeney's book), Hilary Duff's comeback to music after a decade, the rumored Karol G & Feid breakup, y muchooo massss!
