You have to move on and you have to rise up with confidence. And that is what 2026 is here to do. Welcome to the Chisme corner. I'm your host, V. Rivera, your Latina amica. And go to Chismosa for all the chisme that actually matters. Latina motherhood, beauty. Navigating life in our 30s and keeping our mental health in check. We're keeping it raw, relatable, and a bit spicy. We'll also be sprinkling in some pop culture topics and getting into all the reality show tea. I love me some tea. So get comfy because the chisme starts now. Oh, my God. Chismosas. It is 2026. Can you believe it? It is a brand new year. I'm so excited to be here. I'm so excited that you guys are here. As you can see, I am in my bedroom right now. I feel like I wanted to bring in the new year with, like, comfy, cute, cozy vibes. Everyone loved the episode I did where I was like, in my bathroom just talking about all of my favorite products, like the smell, good products and stuff. So I was like, you know what? I'm like, this new year, I'm feeling. I'm bringing it in. Very, very comfortable, like, very relaxed, very. I don't know, I'm just feeling very chill and very at ease. So I was like, this calls for like a bedroom scene. So this is so. This is very much my bedroom. I don't know, I was just like, this would be a cute little way to change it up and a little vibe to. To the cheese my corner over here. But I am so excited to be starting 2026 with you guys with my cheese mosas with my cheese. My corner family. I love this little corner that we built. I'm so grateful for you guys and I hope you guys had a phenomenal Christmas, a great new year. We spent it over here, like, pretty chill. You guys know I always usually host both families on Christmas, so. So we had some of Joe's fam here and then we had my family here, and it was so nice. We played games, we had fun. We ate good ass food. It was perfect. And then for the new year, we watched the last episode of Stranger Things and we all cried. Like, when I tell y' sobbing. I was sobbing. I could. I could not get a hold of myself. My sister was next to me and she was looking at me like, what is wrong? Like, why are you crying so much? And I was like, I was like hyperventilating. Like, I couldn't stop crying for some reason. I think it's just the emotion behind it. Like, I've been watching the show for so long. I put the kids onto the show. Like, this is like a huge deal. Like, this is such like a. A cultural moment, like in time. Like, Stranger Things is forever going to be iconic. But, yeah, it was so sad. So we watched the last episode and I was just like, I couldn't believe it. I'm not going to get too much into that because that could be a whole nother episode, but it was phenomenal. I think it was amazingly done. And then we took the kids actually to Broadway in New York. Vivi was right. I don't know if you guys remember the episode that I did with her here. She was right about the gift. I remember she was like, oh, my God, are you taking us to Broadway to see Stranger Things? And I was just like, I'm not going to tell you. Like, but she was right. She guessed it correct. So we took them to see the show and it was. Oh, my gosh, I have no words. Like, the. The play, the actors, the. The stage, like, the graph, like, the effects, everything was out of this world. Like, I'm still questioning till this day, how the hell did they do that? Like, I don't know. It was one of the most amazing Broadway plays I think I've ever seen. The actor who played Henry was. Oh, my gosh. Like, I just couldn't believe how good he was. He reminded me exactly of him from Stranger Things. Like, it was. It gave me goosebumps. That's how good it was. So, yeah, that was amazing. So we had a really. We had a really good break. We were in New York, so, like, we visited Times Square. Since we were right there. We went to. We went out to eat. We did a whole day in American Dream Mall, because y' all know I love American Dream Mall. And we stayed in Jersey City because we didn't want to stay in New York. That is always my tip to people. If you're going to New York, just stay in, like, Jersey City and just, like, drive in or take the train in or something. Because hotels in New York are astronomical for no reason, honestly. So we stayed at a really good. Cute. Like, a really good hotel, actually, in Jersey City. And they had good food and everything. Like, it was amazing. And then we just drove in to New York in the morning because I don't have a problem with driving in New York, and neither does Joe. Like, we drive in and we just pay for parking in a parking garage, and we call it a day. Like, we're pretty much. We're not new to this. We true to this. Like, we've been to New York so many times. But, yeah, other people, like, if you don't want to drive in, definitely just. It's so much easier to just catch a train from Jersey City or whatever into the city. Normally we stay at my mom's, but she had the flu, so we were just like. I was like, I'm not trying to go there. Like, I did not want BB to catch the flu. Like, right before school, I didn't want to catch the flu. I know nobody wanted to catch the flu. But normally, yeah, we stay at my mom's, and then we'll just, like, go into the city. But we had a really good day. We made a whole day in American Dream Mall. And if you guys have ever been to American Dream Mall, there's so much to do there. Like, you could literally make a day of it. Like, I always tell everyone, like, you should at least go one. One time. There's so many things for the kids there. There's, like, two different types of. There's, like, two different museums. We went to the eye Museum. I'm actually posting a vlog on my YouTube and it's really. Is actually really cute. Like, every room had a different emotion, and then they had this cute little code that you could scan, and it'll tell you, like, every emotion that it was to see if you got it correct or not. But we loved it. Like, it was so cool. And ironically, our favorite room, like, all of our favorite rooms, was sadness, because it just felt like a vibe. It was dark, and it was, like, rainy, and it was such a vibe. I was like, oh, I could read in here. All of us. Like, we were all just like, oh, I like this room. And I was like, this is calmness. Like, this is nice. And then it was like, it was sadness. So I was like, oh, we all just. We just some depressed ass up in here. Like, so that was really fun. And then we had hibachi there. I did not like the Hibachi place, I'm not going to lie. But there's like a million restaurants in there. They even have like the be the Mr. Beast burger restaurant there. I actually have to take BB there cuz she loves Mr. Beast. But they have unlimited. They have like a hot pot. They have like unlimited places to eat. Honestly, so many stores like it is, it's great. You're always going to find something to do there. So we just made a day. There's a huge arcade in there. Like we were just playing in the arcade. We tried to do the Escape Room but they were booked until like 10 o' clock at night. So we were like, we're not going to stay here that long. But we went to the little aquarium, we went to the Lego store. Like we did a lot. Like we did everything that we could while we were there. But yeah, overall, cannot complain. We had a really good winter break. Oh my God. Me and baby went skating. Roller skating. And I just wanted to talk about this a little bit because I used to go roller skating when I was young. Like it was like one of those things that my dad, whenever I would go to his house on the weekends, he would take me and like my step siblings and we would go. We were like one of those households that went skating so much that we were like known there. And we all became like really good skaters. Like really good. We had our own skates and everything. That was just something that bonded all of us. Like honestly, we had our. But whenever we would all go roller skating, it was the best time. Literally. One of my favorite memories was like, of all of us going skating those weekends, Bibi's teacher gave them this like a coupon. It was like a free pass for the students. She was like, ma, I really want to go. Like, I'm dying to go. So nobody else wanted to come with us. So it was just me and her. At first, I swear I was just like. Like, this is the last thing I want to be doing. Like, I really didn't want to roller skate. Like, I was just like, I don't know, I was. I had so many. I had so much in my mind. I'm like, I have to clean the house. Like, it was just. It felt like a lot because it was like right before New Year. Yeah, I just didn't really want to do it, but I was like, you know what? I'll take you for like, an hour or two. Whatever. We'll just get it over with. So we went and. Tell me why we had the best time. Like, I had so much fun. We just had so much fun together. And the plate, the skating place down here, like, it was a little packed, but it wasn't anything, like, too overwhelming. Like, I felt like everyone was just having a good time doing their own thing, you know, so it didn't really matter. And Vivi kept getting complimented. Like, the whole time we were there, like, everyone was like, oh, my God, you're so pretty. I love your. Your hoodie. Like, she kept. She had her little hats, cat's eye hoodie on. So a bunch of, like, teenage girls were like, oh, my God, yes, sis. Like, we love your hoodie. You. You're so cute. Like, you're so pretty. So she was immediately, like, in a good mood because she was getting complimented on her hair and her. Her looks and her hoodie. So I freaking love that for her. But, yeah, we were just skating, and at first I was a little. We were just very, very rusty. And then before you know it, we were out there just skating in the middle, doing everything. Like, they were playing, like, red light, green light. And then we started having, like, a snowball fight. They have, like, these little cotton ball things, like, like snowballs, and you just throw them around at people. So it was so much fun. Like, the music was popping. Like, I. We ended up staying there the whole time till they closed. Like, we got there. Like, I think I like, two or like 1:30. And then we stayed till 5:00 clock because they closed at, like, at 5:00 clock on that day. She was like, ma, I want to come back. Like, I want to keep roller skating. Like, I love this. It's so fun. And it's a good way to just keep them active and, like, doing things, you know, like, it tired us the out. We were sore as hell the next day. But it was well worth it. Like, it's a good workout too. My legs was, like, burning. But we ended up. I ordered her some skates, and I ordered me some skates, and I was like, we're gonna be roller skating now. Like, I want to make it, like, at least once a week. We go maybe on like, a Sunday or Saturday if we're not doing anything, like, let's just. If we're in doing nothing, let's just go and roller skate. So that's one thing that I'm actually. That caught me off guard, and I. It ended up being Something that I was like, wow, I'm really glad that we did this together. I'm, I'm excited to like keep doing it with her. And soon, I'm telling you, we going to be, we going to be skating around, we going to be, we going to be running that roller skating rink. I promise you. That was really like one of my favorite moments, I think, over, over the break. Like, it was just, it was awesome. And I felt like I was like reliving my, my childhood a little bit. Like, it felt very nostalgic to me because I was like, wow, I really love this and I'm glad that this is something she loves to do. So now, like, we get to do it together. So. Yeah, we stepped into 20, 26. Very good. Very, like we had fun. And then we organized her whole closet. We got rid of, I'm telling you, I had like six big ass black trash bags full of toys and stuff. Had to give those away. But she feels so much better. Like it was just, it was just so good to just organize that closet and get rid of she, that she had in there. Since she was like one like just overflowing toys and stuff that she hasn't touched or picked up in years. And I was just like, girl, like, if you haven't looked at this thing in a couple months or like the past few months, just get rid of it. Like, let's make way for new stuff, new things. Like, we put all of her new stuff that she got in there. She got like a DVD player and stuff for Christmas, so we made way for that. And like her DVDs and her CD player and her, you know, her things that she listens to, her Kindle, like everything has a space now. And that makes me feel good. It makes her feel good. Like I'm just trying to teach her, like, not everything is always going to be clean. But it's important to keep things organized because when you're, when you're not organized, that's when everything starts becoming chaotic. And that's when you start feeling like you can't keep up, you know, and that's when the laziness kicks in because you don't want to do this, you don't want to organize and stuff. So I try and organize her room and teach her, like, everything has a place. If you put it, you know, if, if you give it a place, it'll have a place, you know, so that makes cleaning up a little bit easier. And you're organized and you're not feeling chaotic because she is like Me, like, where she. If her room is too chaotic and too over stimulating, like, she gets. She's like, oh, my God. Like, I don't like how my room looks right now. So we did that, and I'm very glad that we did that and made way for a lot of new things. I got rid of some stuff too. Like, just clearing everything, clearing our mind, clearing our home, starting fresh. Some of my goals for this year, I want to hear y' all goes through. So let me know in the comments below if you're watching on YouTube. Yeah, just let me know in general, like, you can DM me also on the Cheese My Corner podcast, Instagram. But my goals for this year is I want to be. I want to focus more on, like, my physical health, like, how I'm eating, how I'm feeling, how I'm exercising. I really want to make it my priority to, I guess, prioritize healthy eating and, like, healthy habits. Because I'm not the best eater. Like, everyone's always asking me, like, oh, how do you keep your figure and how do you keep shape? And I feel like the Selena movie because I'm like, I eat like a whole. I could scarf down a whole bunch of Doritos. I could eat a whole cheese pizza. Like, that's. That's my diet. That's my diet and exercise. Like, I don't have a diet and exercise. I just eat. And I. I do have good genes. That's all I'm gonna say. Like, I just have good genes and I'm lucky right now because things could change. And I know that I just be feeling like. Like I eat shitty. And especially I think it's mostly over the break because usually me and Joe cook like every day. The only time we don't cook is probably like on a Saturday or something. Like, on the weekends, maybe we'll eat out or we'll, you know, doordash, whatever. But we make it a priority to cook. Like, and we alternate the cooking every day. He cooks a little more than me because I get a little lazy. Or if I have more things going on that I'm doing, he'll pick on. He'll kind of catch on, and he'll be like, don't worry, like, I got it. I'll cook today.

So I guess it just depends on what my schedule looks like for the week, but I feel like for the past couple weeks, we've just been slacking. Like, everything's been door dash, everything's been eating out. And, like, I know it's that end. It was that end of the year craziness, but it got really bad, and I just felt like. And I was like, you know what? This year I want to focus on, like, if I can start meal prepping and just having stuff that I can grab and go throughout the day, because that's the thing. I don't have time to, like, sit there and cook, like, a whole meal for lunch and, like, for breakfast and stuff. So I need little things that I can grab. So if you guys can help me with that, like, what do you meal prep for lunch? Like, things that are fast, easy, but also healthy. Like, I want to incorporate more vegetables and stuff. But I'm also a person. Like, I hate heating up foods. Like, I just. I don't like reheating chicken and rice and stuff like that. Like, I feel like it just tastes so bad to me and I won't eat it. So what do you guys do in those situations? Because I, I. Your girl needs help. I really want to focus on just feeling better and exercising more this year. And Joe is doing the same. He does, like, fasting, and then he also has been working out. I got him, like, a TV to go in the basement so he can watch stuff, like, while he works out. Like, so that way he's not bored because that's his main thing. He's like, I hate working out by myself because I get bored. So I got him a TV for Christmas, and we put it in the basement so he's not bored anymore. He can, like, watch TV or watch his shows while he works out and listen or listen to music or watch, you know, a workout that he can do. I bought one of these little Pilates reformer things. Like, one of those. Not, like, the ones that they have in the studios. Like, one of those little small, like, cheap ones. I bought it, like, I'm telling you, like, a year ago on Facebook. I saw it on, like, this random ass ad or something, and I bought it, and I have not touched it since I bought it. Like, it's still in the box. I don't even know why. I don't know. So I'm like, I'm gonna use this. Like, I want to. There's a lot of good exercises that you can. That I've seen at least that you can do on that machine and stuff. So I was like, I need to at least use it, see how I like it. But I have a whole gym downstairs. I have a whole basement of stuff. Like, I got weights, I got booty bands. I got, like, I got. We got that whole thing to, like, lift weights and stuff. Like, I've got balls. I got so many things. Jump ropes. I mean, I got the whole thing, the whole shebang in my basement. So I really want to start working out and focusing on myself. But I also wanted to start walking, maybe start walking around the neighborhood, like, taking it lightly, start doing. Start getting, like, my steps in. And then eventually, if I wanted to, like, take on running, maybe I could do that. But that's like a whole process, you know? Like, I'm gonna take baby steps. I'm gonna start with the walking and, like, a little bit doing, like, the. The exercising at home. And then we'll see if I'm into running. But I think walking will be more than enough for me. I just. I also just like to be outside. I like to be in fresh air. I like to ground myself. Like, I like that stuff. So I noticed that my moon, my mood changes a lot when I'm outside and when I'm just getting some sun and getting out of the house. So that's something that I said I really wanted to focus on this year. I just need to strengthen my body. I feel like it's so embarrassing how I can go up a flight of stairs and I'm already. I'm burnt out. Like, I'm. I'm like, huffing and puffing, and it's like, girl, like, relax. What is wrong with you? So I don't know. That's embarrassing to me. Like, I don't want to be the person that can't keep up. Like, Bibi is very active. Like, she's a cheerleader. She does so many things. Like, she plays the drums. Like, this girl is out and about all the time. She plays outside. Like she is. She's just a very active kind of girl. And I need to keep up. Like, I want to keep up. Especially now we're gonna be roller skating and stuff. Like, whoo. Girl, I cannot have my ass on the floor huffing and puffing and just begging for my life. So I need to get my together. I really do. We need to get our together. We need to hold each other accountable. Hold me accountable, please. Like, I need y' all to, like, DM me and be like, v, what's up? Like, did you work out today? How was your workout today? We need proof. Post the video. That's what I need. Because I don't want to be one of those people that's like, okay, it's January, and I'm gonna. I'm gonna start this. I'm gonna start this, and then I don't go through with it. Like, I hate that. I hate being that person, especially when it comes to exercising. But I don't know, this is something that I really wanna. I wanna put the time and effort into. But also, I had something else that I really wanted to touch on. And I didn't even know how to go about talking about this because I feel like I. I know how I feel, and in my brain sometimes I. I feel like sometimes my brain runs faster than I can get the words out, and that's just how I work. But I'm gonna try and put it in a way where you guys understand where I'm coming from. I've been feeling really, I guess I would say uninspired lately. You guys know, like, content creation is my job. Like, this is my job. I have to come up with content every day and film it, record it, post it on social media. Like, I have YouTube. I have tick Tock. I have Facebook, I have Instagram, I have the podcast. So there's a lot of things that I constantly have to keep up with. And I've been doing this for a really long time. Like, it's been, I think, like, eight, nine years now. I want to be very clear also when I say, like, I'm very grateful. I'm so grateful for this platform. I'm so grateful for everyone that has kept up with me for these past couple years and has been my ride or dies, has been on my journey with me, who, if. If you follow my Instagram, when you were at one of your lowest points or you're just trying to learn makeup or whatever it is, I'm so grateful, and I'm so glad, and I'm so happy to have, like, this little community of us and women and men, too. You're here. So I don't want it to make it seem like I'm not grateful. Like, I know how blessed I am and I'm forever grateful. But I think two things can be true at once. Like, you can be grateful, and then you can still feel like there's more inside you that just wants to come out Content creation has changed so much over the past few couple years, and. And social media has changed so much. It can be very overwhelming for me sometimes. Like, there's so many different things to keep up with. Like, there's so many new influencers. There's so many new trends, there's numbers. You have to do an engagement. Like, you got to think about growth. You got to think about what's working, like, what's not working. And yeah, it's a job. It really is. And I guess sometimes I just start to feel like that's not the problem. Like, I can keep up with that stuff, but I think the problem for me is it starts to feel less creative, and it starts to just feel like I'm in survival mode. Like I'm constantly chasing instead of creating, and I don't like that. And I wanted to talk about this because I feel like. I feel like anyone can relate. No matter what job you're in or what you're doing. Like, it's not too far off from how I probably feel. Like a lot of y' all have probably felt the same way in your job or your career. Like, you just want something more. Like, I don't know if it's just the time period I've been doing this and how long, or, you know, it could be just a season and maybe it'll pass. I don't know. But this is where I'm at right now. And honestly, something I've realized about myself is that I work best when I'm creating with intention. Like, I have to be doing things with intention behind it. I love putting things together. I love working on projects. Like, I love me a good project. Like, I love that and I love ideas. I love visuals. Like, I love taking something from nothing and watching it come to life like this podcast. Like, I creating this was one of the most fun times of my life. Cuz like, creating dream, like vision boards of it and watching all that come together was really. It was amazing for me and I loved doing it. Like, one of my favorite things is seeing something in my head and then bringing it to life. I reach flow state. When I am just building something from scratch and watching it grow, that's when I feel most like myself. So this year I decided I'm gonna start a little passion project. I'm gonna do something to fulfill that creativity and maybe something that will help me feel a little more inspired and push me to do things out of my element. Because I've never done this before. But I am a very. I'm A creative person. I don't. I won't say I'm an artistic person. I'm just a creative person and there's a difference. But I wanted to create my personal brand and a website from scratch. Like, I wanted to do. I want to just do this myself and I want to show you guys the process of how I go about it. Because I'm not. I'm not a web designer. I'm not someone that builds brands. I don't. I have never done that. Like, I guess the Cheese My Corner. Yeah, I've kind of done. I've done that myself, but I've still never created a website for it. I've never done things like that. And I just feel like I want to do that for myself because I know me more than anybody. So working on a new personal brand this year, that. That fully represents me and my platform and creating a website behind it for the Cheese My Corner. And I don't know, I just feel like when I thought about it, I was like, wow, this is going to be so much fun. And I know it's going to be a lot of work because I have to do. I've been doing a lot of research. I've been trying to. I've been figuring out the steps to get started and everything because it is a lot. Like, it's hard. It's going to be a lot to like, build a website and all that stuff. But I do want to show you guys the process and like, bring you along so that maybe this can inspire you to, like, do maybe that one thing that maybe you're pulling yourself back from or you think you can't do. Like, if I can do this, if I can really do this, who knows what other doors it can open for me, you know, like, this could end up being dope as. And who knows? Like, I'll probably be like, I want to keep doing this. Like, I want to. I'll build a portfolio and I can help other people build their personal brands and their websites and stuff. Like, this is something that I think will grow more for me and it's going to give me another creative outlet. Some like, another place aside from just posting things on social media, like, where I can really fulfill that creativity and. And make projects and. And ideas come true. So I'm going to take you guys along with me. I will be vlogging everything you guys will be able to see. I'm gonna post on my personal page on Beautify Me. So that's exciting. Like, just showing you guys what works, what doesn't work. Like, maybe making some mistakes and then coming back from it and doing research and figuring things out. Like, I think it's going to be fun, and I think it's going to be interesting, and I think this could be connect with a lot of people. Maybe you guys can help me out. Like, if any. There's any web designers out there, you guys know where to start or what. Give me any tips on what to do. If you ever built a personal brand before for creators or whoever, maybe, like, let me know, let me in on the secrets. Like, how do you. What do you do? It's going to be how I take something from a vision in my head and bring it to life. I just feel like. I don't know, that's what's been missing for me lately. Just feeling connected to, like, the creative process again and being excited about something, not just, like, the performance of it, you know? Y' all know I'm a Virgo through and through. I don't get fulfilled by just doing well. Like, I need. I need to feel mentally stimulated and, like, work actually makes sense. Like, I need to feel intentional, like I said. And the kind of burnout that I experience isn't always exhaustion. Like, it shows in different ways for me. Like, it's. It shows in, like, boredom or, like, restlessness or feeling over, feeling under, stimulated. So, yeah, maybe this is my Virgo showing and I really don't care, but I. I need to feel like I'm building something with intention, and I think this is a way for me to do that. Like, I do the podcast is definitely something that I've been doing with intention and everything, but I feel like this is going to intertwine with that because, like, I'm gonna be working on the website that choose my corner website. Like, all of this is going to go into this project. So this is a way where I can take she's my corner and make it bigger and better and have a platform for us also. So everything intertwines, you know? Like, I just want this to be bigger and better. I want. I want to be bigger and better because, like, success to me is, like, not has anything to do with money. Like, I make good money. I have no problem with money, but I need to feel like what I'm doing is something that I. I don't want to feel uninspired, and I don't want to feel like I'm just. Like I said before, like, just doing. Just doing well. Like, I want to go above and beyond. Like, I want to Test myself. I want to test my limits and take risks and do different things and see where my creativity leads me, you know? Like, I just. I, like, I don't like to just do the same thing all the time. I like to switch it up and try something new. And don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. I promise. I swear. I've. I've gotten this far. I am not quitting content creation. I love it here. I love podcasting with you guys. It doesn't. And I don't want anyone to think that I'm, like, ungrateful or anything. Like, I think it just means that I'm evolving and that's okay. So. Yeah, and I want to share this with you, because I know I'm probably not the only one that feels this way, whether it's their job, their career, just their life, whatever it may be. And I started to dig deeper. I was like, I think this is why a lot of things did not work out for me in the past, too. Like, I just. I need structure. I need creativity. My brain will start to wander, if not, you know, and, yeah, it just all really started to make sense to me. So with that, you guys know I always have a word of the year. My word of the year is going to be creativity. I just want to do all the things that light up that fire inside me. I want to be more creative and more intentional with my content. I. This year for me. This year for me is about curiosity. It's about creativity and giving myself permission to, like, explore what lights me up again. And I'm so excited to bring you guys along on that journey. I'm so freaking excited. So make sure you guys follow my passion project. I'm gonna be vlogging all about it. Yeah. Thank you guys again for being here. I know. I. 2025. I know. Was. I think it was a hard year for everyone, I don't think. There's not one person that I spoke to that was like, oh, this was the best year. It was so amazing. Like, it really was not like that. For a lot of people, I think 2025 was about shedding your skin and shedding things that no longer fit your path and where you're going in life, Shedding things that are just no longer for you. It was the year of the snake, and that is exactly. That is the best way I could put 2025. Like, it was just shedding everything that no longer serves you. And 2026 is the year of the horse. So the snake cleared your path, and the Year of the Horrors, 2026. That moves you forward, that propels you. It's fresh energy, it's freedom, it's movement. Literally new beginnings. It's a year that pushes you forward, but you have to be ready for it. You have to be able to release what you have outgrown. Don't stay in places where you know you have grown out of. Don't stay in relationships you know you've grown out of. Don't stay in friendships that you've known are grown out, that you've grown out of. You have to move on and you have to rise up with confidence. And that is what 2026 is here to do. And I actually saw something and it said that more specifically, 2026 is the year of the fire horse, which fire, obviously brings heat, it brings passion. So that will have you stepping forward into this boldly, bravely, unapologetically, you. And don't let anybody stop you this year from doing what the you want to do. We're not chasing anymore. We are arriving at the destination. That's what we're doing in 2025. There was a lot of endings. There was a lot of clarity. There was a lot of, I would say, like, emotional release. And that is good. It's good that we all went through that. It's good because it's preparing us for what we are ready to step into this year. And I truly believe that for everybody. I hope you guys have an amazing new year. I'm here for you. Your Latina bestie, your amiga, your cheese Mosa. Please stay tuned. We have so much to look forward to this year. And if at any point in your life you felt like you did not want to be here, I'm so proud and happy that you are sitting here in this moment with me right now. Don't ever forget how loved you are. Don't ever forget how needed you are in this world. And I need you guys all to know that right now. Right the now. And that is a wrap on today's Cheeseman, my loves. But do not let the conversation stop here. Like I said, comment on the YouTube if you're watching on YouTube, DM us and comment on the Cheese My Corner podcast, Instagram.
