"Sorry" is a little five letter word but that doesn't mean it's always easy to say, as we all know from last week's episode. This week we dive into forgiveness - what did forgiveness look like in the women's families as little niñas, who is most likely to forgive and forget, and does anyone think they should always be forgiven no matter what?

The season may have ended, but y'all know we never truly do so we are very excited to bring y'all our latest minisode. Last week we interviewed Missy Toribio, the owner and founder of Brie on the Chisme - a charcuterie board service!

Missy started her business with intentionality (and because she loves cheese), in an effort to create luxuriously delicious spreads for everyone, but specifically the diaspora, she decided to take the plunge and turn her hobby of many many years into a business.

Listen in as Missy explains what charcuterie is, gives us insight into her creative process and describes the highs and lows of being a new entrepreneur. 

Then if you love the episode and are dying to see what Missy created for us, run to our YouTube and watch the review we did on the charcuterie board (hint: the review starts at minute 31)!

Would more money really make us happier? Or is it like Biggie said, "the more money we come across, the more problems we see." In this week's episode, inspired by NerdWallet's Smart Money podcast, Glowing Up Latina explores what part money plays in their happiness, how it has effected the choices they have made in their careers, and wonder where all their money has gone when they have been working for so damn long. LOL! 

Don't forget the Q&A is just around the corner, get your questions in by Friday, April 14, 2023 at 12pm EST! You can submit your questions for the Q&A episode on the pinned post on our Instagram, via DM or emailed, and anonymously at https://forms.gle/kpmxFVLBNWpESSEw7.

This week the women of Glowing Up try to tackle the big M word, machismo. There's so much to say and so much we could have said but we limited ourselves to only an hour. We try to define machismo, talk about what we saw growing up, give our ideas on why we think machismo persists in Latinx culture, and share how we will try to prevent the cycle from persisting in our future families.

Ahhhh, those pesky red flags...Sometimes they get in the way of a "perfect" partner and you gotta act like SZA and say "I can't see, I'm blind." LOL. But for reals, mija, please don't do this and we'll tell you why. This week the girls dive into red flags they've seen and ignored in their relationships and friendships. Thankfully there's a happy ending here.
