In this episode, we speak with Aries about her personal journey of navigating through multiple changes in a short amount of time.

Aries opens up about how she used to hate change and found it to be the most unhelpful thing in her life.

However, through her experiences, she recognized that it was not the changes themselves, but her resistance to them that was causing her problems.

Aries shares how she came to the realization that she needed to become a person who was okay with change in order to thrive.

She discusses the shift in her mindset, while Kai summarizes the point into a reference of battles and wars.

It's important to seek out resources to help develop a growth mindset and seeking guidance from others who had gone through similar experiences.

In this episode, I talk with Paulette Erato, creator, producer, and host of La Vida Más Chévere and The Maker Muse Podcast, on how people-pleasing and not having boundaries is damaging to one's growth. 

We talk about ways to develop healthy boundaries for yourself before you implement boundaries for others. 

How it is important to self-reflect on how you feel when "people-pleasing", if it makes you feel uncomfortable or drained, stop doing it but if it brings you joy then it's okay.

We also talk about the importance of "baby steps" to manage stress and anxiety while making progress with adulting.

Paulette Erato is the creator, producer, and host of La Vida Más Chévere and The Maker Muse Podcast. These are inspirational conversations for all childfree, Spanglish-speaking Latines to find their confidence by overcoming the toxicity of "calladita culture" and imposter syndrome. It questions the societal norms we hold about everything we've been taught (like being child-free!) without disrespecting the ancestors who laid the path for us to rise. Because if we as Latines can learn to collectively get past the BS of staying quiet, people-pleasing, and actually creating healthy boundaries, wouldn’t that be rad?
