This career-focused episode will get you thinking about all the ways your excuses might be holding you back.

Episode 340 has us reflecting on something we all experience: how life changes and what that means for friendship over time. As the decades pass, friendships evolve, too. In this honest conversation, we explore what it means to hold onto friendships today, how to nurture them, when it may be time to let some go, and the guilt that can sometimes come with change. Join us for a heartfelt reflection on the passage of time, changing seasons of life, and the friendships that shape us along the way.

As always, on the last Wed. of the month, today we bring you our monthly random show. In this episode, we get into a little bit of everything from this crazy political climate and the memes it produces to music and travel adventures. Two of the three hosts had fun & surprising spring break trips this month and one got a promotion through hard work and manifestation. Lots to catch up on with our LUL comadres. Don't miss it!

We've got a juicy episode today! Another listener-requested topic got us talking about what we are calling the "gray area of loyalty," if there can be such a thing! Not everything is cheating... or is it? Are secrets ever okay in relationships? Do "happy people" cheat? Stream this one to join the debate, and feel free to chime in on this hot topic in the comments or DMs, because we know this one may provoke a heated debate! What one unit considers cheating is definitely different from couple to couple, and no judgment here (or maybe just a little).... you'll need to listen to find out how we see it. Don't miss this one!

As “cuarentonas y buenonas,” we are absolutely interested in all things related to midlife health and wellness. In today’s episode, we have special guest Dr. Jennifer Roelands on the podcast sharing her expertise on Perimenopause and Menopause! Dr. Roelands is a board-certified OB/GYN and integrative medicine physician, and the founder of Precision Health MD in Orange County, California. With over 15 years of experience, she specializes in hormones, perimenopause, metabolic health, and longevity medicine. Known for her direct, no-nonsense approach, Dr. Jen helps women—especially in midlife—understand their bodies, optimize their hormones, and take control of how they age. She combines conventional medical training with functional and precision medicine to uncover root causes, not just treat symptoms. Do not miss this incredibly important topic impacting all women.

Balancing motherhood, partnership, and careers that require travel is not always pretty, but it is real. In this LUL episode, Vero opens up about navigating young kids while working and holding it down when her husband travels. Cecy shares how she has learned to plan ahead and create rhythm in her home so things don’t fall apart when schedules shift. And Irene reflects on how this season has evolved over time with older kids, more independence, and more space to step outside of the home for work and for herself. What has helped us most is not perfection but intention. Systems that keep the household running, humor when things inevitably go sideways, taking breaks without guilt, and being honest with our partners, our kids, and ourselves about what we need. Balance is not about doing everything equally it is about doing what matters most with clarity and support. If you are in a season where you are juggling it all, this episode is your reminder that you are not alone. It gets lighter, it gets clearer, and you are allowed to grow into new versions of yourself along the way. This is what the level up really looks like.

From the naughty to the practical, in this episode, the women of Level Up Latina get real about the many ways we’ve invested in our relationships. Today’s conversation dives into the lessons learned, the mindset shifts, the moments of grace, and yes… the fun and laughter that come with figuring it all out together. In this show, we reflect on the many ways we’ve poured into ourselves for the greater good of partnership, marriage, and family—and why embracing growth (even when it requires a little courage or investment) can transform not only our relationships, but our lives. Because at the end of the day, becoming better partners often starts with becoming better to ourselves, doing something uncomfortable, or asking for help from a trusted professional. Don’t miss this honest, funny, and surprisingly relatable conversation.

On the show today, we're talking careers and putting ourselves out there! How is it that we are building influence, not just income? We talk about how we see influence, our talents, and how we share them with the world. This convo. slips between the personal and the professional, and per usual, we are keeping it real, real! We know you'll press play and be glad you did!

In this timely and heartfelt episode, we unpack what is happening with ICE across the country and the very real fear, grief, and uncertainty many of our communities are experiencing. As Latinas, leaders, and humans, we reflect on how we are choosing to show up during this moment. We are refusing to look away in trying times by standing up for dignity, staying informed, protecting our peace, and caring for one another with intention. This episode is not about panic or politics. It is about humanity. We share what solidarity looks like in real life, how we are having conversations with our families and children, and ways to remain informed while advocating for compassion and justice. If you have been feeling heavy, angry, scared, or unsure of how to hold it all, this conversation is for you. At the Level Up Latina Podcast, we believe in growth that does not abandon our people. In moments like these, community care is leadership. You are not alone. We are in this together.

Every month, the women of Level Up Latina gather for a live workshop inside our group coaching community, the Guilt-Free Squad. This month’s session was especially powerful. Coach Irene invited her husband to facilitate an honest, hour-long conversation about relationships and how to navigate our differences. The response was so strong that we knew we had to bring the conversation to our podcast listeners. In this episode, we recap the biggest gems from a wide-ranging discussion that touched on everything from the emotional world of men to conflict, communication, and how couples really show up for one another. You don’t have to be married—or even in a relationship—to appreciate the insights shared in this conversation. Fair warning: there is a brief TMI moment involving periods and birth control, so maybe save this one for your commute or headphones. Our hope is that this episode resonates deeply and also gives those curious about our monthly Guilt-Free Squad workshops a real taste of the depth, honesty, and value these sessions offer.

Welcome to Episode 322 of the Level Up Latina Podcast, the very first episode of 2026. In true LUL fashion, we’re starting the year grounded, intentional, and in community. For our new listeners, bienvenidas; and to our OGs, thank you for continuing to grow with us. In this episode, the women of LUL reintroduce ourselves, not just with what we do, but with who we are becoming. This conversation was recorded on Three Kings Day, and while Coach Cecy was in the kitchen baking not one, but two roscas, inspiration struck. It felt like the perfect moment to pause and talk about new year intentions, not resolutions rooted in pressure, but intentions anchored in alignment, purpose, and grace. As always, there is so much wisdom in shared experiences. Each of us brings our unique talents, gifts, and perspectives to the table, with the hope of reminding you that your growth matters, your voice matters, and your dreams are valid. This episode is an invitation to reflect, realign, and Level Up together as we step into a new year with clarity, confidence, and corazón.
