Life is full of unexpected pivots. The version of your life you thought was permanent, until it wasn’t. The moments that remind you the future won’t look the way you imagined.

felicitreza™ is a bilingual podcast about life beyond the pivot. It’s a show about reinvention, identity shifts, intentional living, and the choices we make after unexpected life changes.

Born from the Spanish words felicidad (happiness) and tristeza (sadness), felicitreza™ is about holding the whole messy, beautiful, often contradictory experience of being human in one hand.

This is a space for the people who stopped waiting for permission and started living on their own terms. The ones choosing a different path.

The rule benders. The ones coloring outside the lines on purpose because they realized there were never really any rules.

Because the pivot isn’t the story. It’s what you choose to create after it.

Grief and Light™ asks: How do we survive, make meaning, and move through loss and life-altering change?

Felicitreza™ asks: What do we choose to create when those experiences become part of our story?

Because life doesn’t stop after the pivot. It asks us to decide what we carry forward, what we leave behind, and what we choose to create next.

In both solo episodes and conversations with guests from different backgrounds and lived experiences, felicitreza™ explores unexpected paths, personal reinvention, career changes, identity shifts, resilience, creativity, and what it means to build a life that feels authentic.

This bilingual podcast is primarily in English, with Spanish, Spanglish, and all the shades in between.

If you’ve taken the scenic route, you’re in the right place.
