Entender que tu valor no es tu cintura, o tu color o tu no, no, pero entenderte a que ver, a que ver, aceptar, aceptar, aceptar de una manera que te quieres comer rico y comer bien y hacer ejercicio y ponerte tus aceites y tus Johnny's, timba, lo que te quieras hacer para ti sin estar con tanta rigidez.
Ever wondered how much of your daily struggle comes from inherited cultural patterns? In this episode of 'The Gris Alves's Podcast Tales of Recovery', Gris Alves welcomes back her friend, Lunita Velásquez, for an eye-opening chat on breaking free from these inherited burdens.

Lunita shares her personal journey, balancing the roles of mother, partner, and friend while navigating the complexities of her cultural identity.

But it’s not all heavy stuff.
Gris and Lunita emphasize the importance of self-acceptance and self-love as the bedrock of any recovery journey. They chat about practical ways to incorporate spirituality, meditation, and self-care into daily life. Mental health awareness and community support also take center stage, highlighting the importance of breaking stigmas and finding strength in numbers.
One memorable moment is when Lunita says, 'Entender que tu valor no es tu cintura, o tu color o tu no, no, pero entenderte a que ver, a que ver, aceptar, aceptar, aceptar de una manera que te quieres comer rico y comer bien y hacer ejercicio y ponerte tus aceites y tus Johnny's, timba, lo que te quieras hacer para ti sin estar con tanta rigidez'. Her words capture the essence of embracing oneself fully without the harsh self-criticism.
If you're ready to explore how cultural beliefs shape your life and find ways to break free for a healthier, more loving existence, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in for an honest, compassionate conversation that offers both insight and practical tools for your recovery journey.
