  EP 34 More Than Translation: Language, Identity, and What Gets Lost Without a Human Voice

  May 20, 202632 minS0

  <p>Language has always been more than words. It carries emotion, culture, context, and sometimes the difference between being truly heard and being left behind. In this episode, Arlene and Valerie sit down with Laura Valdez, founder of Valdez Language Services and a Latina entrepreneur with 16 years of experience in translation and interpretation services. What unfolds is a conversation about so much more than business — it's about what it means to grow up as the bridge between two worlds, what gets missed when AI steps in, and why language access is a human rights issue.</p> <p>Laura grew up in...

  Apr 21, 202642 minS0

  <p > Have you ever felt inexplicably lit up around a certain person, like you just plug in and everything brightens? Or maybe you've been in a relationship that felt like constantly climbing a mountain with no clear summit in sight?

  EP 32 Rest Is Not Lazy: Healing Your Relationship With Rest

  Apr 15, 202611 minS0

  <p>Most of us say we want rest. But when it finally arrives, the guilt shows up with it. The to-do list surfaces. The body sits still while the mind keeps running. In this episode, Arlene and Valerie get honest about something that does not get talked about enough: the issue is often not that we do not have rest. It is that we do not know how to receive it.</p> <p>They trace this back to where it started — generational modeling, families in constant motion, the conditioning that productivity is worth and stillness is laziness. They talk about wh...

  Apr 8, 202652 minS0

  <p > There are fears you've carried for so long that they've started to feel like personality traits. The fear of failing before you even begin. The fear of the future you can't control. The fear of endings and all the grief that comes with letting something go. In this episode, Arlene and Valerie pull back the curtain on one of the most misunderstood centers in Human Design — the Splenic Center — and reveal something that might just reframe the way you understand every fear you've ever had.</p> <p > What This Episode Explores</p> <p > The Splenic Center is one of the...

  EP 30 Being a Latina Entrepreneur in 2026: Navigating Fear, DEI Rollbacks, and Building Business During Political Uncertainty

  Mar 25, 202636 minS0

  <p > Some conversations don't have a tidy ending, and this is one of them. Arlene and Valerie sit down for one of their most honest episodes yet, naming what it actually feels like to be a Latina entrepreneur in the US right now, when political pressure is heavy, DEI funding is disappearing, and most of us are trying to build something meaningful while carrying all of it in the background.</p> <p > They move from the emotional to the practical. Grief, ancestral fear, the tightness in the chest that comes from watching the news. And then: how to protect your...
