Valentine’s Day has people lowering their standards like it’s a clearance sale.

Let me tell you about the time a man got jealous because a waiter refilled my water.

Sir… you still had water.

If someone feels threatened by basic hydration, imagine what they’ll do when you actually shine.

Red flags don’t turn pink just because it’s February.

In this episode, I sit down with Laura, director of The Latin Village Colorado Springs. Laura is a social worker, an advocate for immigrant families, and a mom raising a child with autism.

We talk about the work she does supporting the immigrant community, how immigration reform is impacting Latino families in real, everyday ways, and what community care looks like when systems fall short.

Laura also shares about her Spanish-language content platform where she creates space for immigrant voices and conversations that matter.

This is a conversation about motherhood, advocacy, and showing up for our communities.

In this episode, Andreea shares her journey of growing up with an abusive parent, leaving to build a life of her own, and later returning to heal, not just for herself, but for her child.

We talk about what it’s like to break cycles without swinging to extremes, how therapy helped her understand patterns instead of repeating them, and what it means to parent with intention when your own upbringing lacked emotional safety.

This is a conversation about survival, boundaries, healing, and choosing a different path, even when it’s hard.
