Luz also gives us an update on where she stands on having kids(because you know, opinions change), and, of course, we sprinkle in some good old-fashioned chisme about navigating adulthood. Tune in as two besties, catch-up, spill their thoughts, and keep it real – per usual.

Your Saturn return isn’t just a transit—it’s a reality check. In this episode, I’m opening up about what my Saturn return has been teaching me, especially when it comes to setting boundaries with family and standing firm in who I am, even when it feels heavy.

And finally, I’m sharing what breaking my four-year celibacy journey has taught me about growth, energy exchange, and why our bodies always keep the score. If you’ve been feeling the pressure of transformation, this one’s for you.
