What if consistency didn’t mean doing something every day, or every week? What if it meant honoring your own rhythm, your own flow, and knowing when to pause? In this final episode before summer break, I’m sharing a loving reminder that rest is part of the process, especially when you’re building something for the long run.

I’m getting real about what consistency actually means, not hustle culture’s definition, but one rooted in alignment, energy, and long-term vision. I discuss the importance of taking intentional breaks, redefining productivity, and trusting your own pace as you build your life, career, or business.

I also share how I will be taking a break from the podcast for the rest of July and August, and then I will be back in September with new, exciting guests and powerful tools to help you live a more intentional life and reach your big money time and impact goals.

I talked about:

• Why I’m taking a podcast break for the rest of July and August
• The difference between short-term hustle and long-term purpose
• How to define consistency for yourself (hint: it’s not doing something every day)
• Letting go of comparison when it comes to other people’s pace
• My summer plans, family time, and upcoming interviews with powerful Latinas
• A special one-day retreat: The Release and Reclaim Retreat happening in August, and how you can join us!

I open up about my husband Joey’s recent health scare that left me calling 911 and sent me on a mission to learn everything I could about vagus nerve health. I break down what the vagus nerve is, why it matters for your digestion, breathing, sleep, and emotional regulation, and three simple tools you can use starting today to strengthen it.

• 3 quick, science-backed tools to support and strengthen your vagus nerve
  1. Humming
  2. Gargling
  3. Cold exposure

This episode is a special one.. I’m sharing a powerful conversation I had on Rafa’s podcast, In My Baddie Era. Whether you’re building your business or breaking generational cycles, this is for you.

Rafa and I talked about:

• How I went from nonprofit burnout to becoming a successful life and business coach
• The concept of "being" work—why who you're being matters more than what you're doing
• The connection between discipline, authenticity, and self-love
• What it really looked like to take the leap, disappoint my parents, and fully bet on myself
• Mental health, intuitive decision-making, and the courage to be vulnerable
• The power of action, mindset, and simply not giving up
• My go-to routines, the piggybacking habit hack, and how I structure my days with three kids
• What it means to truly get paid to be yourself

If you’ve ever struggled with imposter syndrome, pressure from family, or finding the courage to live authentically, this conversation will speak to you. I hope it inspires you to trust your intuition and take that next step.

The fear is real, but so is OUR power. In this powerful and heartfelt episode, I sit down with the bold and brilliant Natalie Garcia to talk about what’s happening in our communities, what we’re feeling, and what we can actually do in the face of ICE raids, fear, and division.

You’ll hear two daughters of immigrants holding space for each other, navigating grief, rage, hope, and resilience. We discuss our responsibility as Latinas, especially those who have gained some privilege or power, and how we can stand in solidarity with our community without burning out. Whether you’re protesting in the streets or raising awareness at home, your role matters.

We talked about:

• How ICE raids are impacting families in Los Angeles
• What resistance looks like when you’re a mom or can't always be on the frontlines
• Why community care, joy, and cultural pride are forms of protest
• The upcoming July 1 nationwide boycott—and how you can participate
• Healing through storytelling, dancing, writing, and remembering where you came from
• What we need from privileged Latinas right now
• Why the antidote to fear is collective courage and connection

This episode is a reminder that you don’t need to do everything, but you do need to do something. Our joy, our stories, and our unity are la medicina. ✊🏽💛

I share the raw truth of what it's like to live through the fear, trauma, and resilience brought on by ICE raids in our communities and how we rise together in response.

This week, I come to you with a heavy heart and a strong voice. With ICE raids terrorizing cities like Los Angeles and communities being paralyzed by fear, this moment demands that we wake up, feel, act, and take care of each other. I reflect on what I’m seeing and feeling, and share tools for processing these intense emotions while offering a path forward rooted in action, healing, and community.

I talked about:

• The emotional and spiritual impact of ICE raids across Los Angeles and beyond
• What I’m witnessing firsthand from self-deportation to marches and community uprising
• Why now is the time for deep transformational work and radical self-awareness
• The four tools to navigate these times:
  • Acknowledge your feelings even if you’re feeling numb
  • Process your emotions - talk it out, write, art, or dance it out
  • Decide how to use your emotions take aligned action, big or small
  • Rest and recharge because healing and activism both require energy
    
    

I invite you to join us for two upcoming community events that are rooted in healing, empowerment, and action:

Future Self Experience (virtual, June 22): https://www.wendyamara.com/workwithme/p/future-self-experience
Latinas in Wellness (in-person, Los Angeles): bit.ly/latina-in-wellness

This is a time to come together, not to be an isolation, but to feel and rise with intention. Community is the MEDICINA, and I’m here walking this path with you.

You are not your productivity. You are not your to-do list. And you’re definitely not more valuable just because you do more.

In this episode, we’re closing out the 3-part Healing Your Inner Niña series with a truth many of us need to sit with: Your worth is not in what you do—it’s in who you are.

I guide you through a beautiful reflection and a gentle process to reconnect with the joyful, free little girl you once were—and begin letting go of the deeply ingrained belief that your value is tied to how much you do or accomplish. Whether you're an entrepreneur, a mama, a career woman, or somewhere in between, this message is for you.

In this episode, I discuss

• How being raised in a “do more to be enough” culture wires us for burnout
• Why your Inner Niña linked her value to responsibility and performance
• The cost of constant striving, especially for daughters of immigrants
• A new definition of worthiness—one that isn’t based on output
• Why learning to say “enough” is revolutionary
• A powerful visualization to release the belief that you always have to prove yourself
• What it feels like to just be—and know that’s more than enough

This episode isn’t just a lesson—it’s a moment of healing. If you’ve ever struggled to slow down, to rest, or to believe you're worthy without producing anything, this one’s for you. ❤️❤️❤️

If you’ve ever carried guilt for things that weren’t really your fault—or weren’t even your responsibility—this episode will speak straight to your heart.

In this episode, I continue our 3-part Healing Your Inner Niña series by talking about something I know so many of us carry quietly: Guilt. Especially for those of us who were the responsible ones growing up in first-gen immigrant households, guilt became a way of life. Guilt for not doing enough, being enough, or pleasing everyone around us.

I open up about how my Inner Niña learned guilt early on, from family dynamics, cultural expectations, and Catholic upbringing, and how that shaped my adult life… until I realized guilt is actually a choice.

I talked about:

• The roots of guilt for eldest daughters and first-gen Latinas
• Why guilt became our default and how it quietly drains our energy
• Real stories from my childhood that shaped this belief
• The moment I realized guilt wasn’t helping me anymore
• What it means to choose a new emotional response as an adult
• A simple but powerful visualization you can use to start releasing guilt
• How letting go creates space for freedom, joy, and real healing

Let this be the permission you didn’t know you needed to stop carrying what was never yours to hold. 🩷

We’re kicking off a powerful new series to help you reconnect with your inner niña and rewrite the beliefs that no longer serve you, starting with the belief that you have to please everyone to be loved.

In this episode, I open up about something I’ve seen time and again with my clients: PEOPLE PLEASING. I share how this survival mechanism from childhood, especially for those of us who grew up in immigrant households, can quietly control our adult lives.

This is the first part of my Healing Your Inner Niña series, where we’ll dive deep into the limiting beliefs that shaped us and how to let go of them.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why does people pleasing begin as a survival response
• How these old beliefs can lead to burnout and anxiety
• A powerful story from a friend that brought this to life
• The key questions to start healing your inner niña
• How to start building a new belief system rooted in self-worth, not performance
• What it means to feel loved, safe, and important without needing to do everything for everyone

This episode is an invitation to pause and reflect. I guide you through practical questions and powerful insights to help you begin the journey of unlearning and reclaiming your worth.

Take a breath. Sit with it. You don’t need to please everyone to be loved. 🩷
