Págame – Details, episodes & analysis

In today’s solo episode, Evie dives deep into a wild headline from a recent New York Times article: “Did Women Ruin the Workplace?” Yes, someone actually asked that in 2025. But instead of just rolling her eyes (which she does too, let’s be real), Evie flips the script and delivers a fire truth bomb: women didn’t ruin the workplace — we revealed what was already broken.

From uncovering the outdated systems built by and for men to calling out the power of Latina voices in reshaping corporate culture, this episode is both a mic drop and a call to action. Evie gets honest about how asking for your worth isn’t “ruining” anything — it’s rebuilding everything in a way that honors equity, humanity, and self-worth.

Plus, Evie kicks things off by sharing fire listener reviews and how The Págame Podcast is becoming a hub of inspiration for first-gen Latinas navigating career growth, money trauma, and mindset breakthroughs.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• A powerful response to that viral NYT headline
• Why asking for equal pay, family leave, and boundaries isn’t ruining — it’s revolutionizing
• A breakdown of the systems women were never meant to thrive in
• A reminder that your discomfort in these spaces isn’t your weakness — it’s your wisdom
• The power of being a disruptor (and why that’s a good thing)
• Why “being grateful” and “asking for more” can and should coexist
• Listener love! Evie shares two amazing reviews from the Págame community

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Cande from Siempre Evolving, a Latina life coach and blogger dedicated to self-development, spirituality, and conscious growth. Together, we unpack the deeply rooted narratives that push Latinas into hyper-masculine energy, often leading to burnout, unbalanced relationships, and emotional exhaustion.

Cande shares her transformative journey—from growing up with the belief that she should never rely on anyone, to navigating a long-term relationship where she carried the weight of hyper-independence. We dive into how childhood experiences shaped our ideas of self-worth, relationships, and financial security, and how stepping into our feminine energy isn’t about weakness—it’s about reclaiming balance, trust, and authenticity.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

• How generational beliefs around money and self-reliance impact Latina women
• The difference between wounded masculine energy and healthy masculine dynamics
• Recognizing trauma bonds and breaking free from cycles of over-functioning in relationships
• The importance of rest, reflection, and self-awareness in healing
• Why feeling “safe” is the foundation for true partnership and personal growth

Key Takeaways:

• You can be grateful and still ask for more—in relationships, in your career, and in life.
• Hyper-independence isn’t strength when it isolates you from genuine support.
• Healing requires pausing, reflecting, and allowing yourself to feel safe enough to receive.

On Episode 6 of Págame Podcast, I share the lesson I got from meeting Astronaut Kayla Barron. In 2023, I got to shake hands with with Astronaut Kayla Barron. It was a huge  honor to work on a program that supports NASA’s Artemis missions, which will be taking the first woman and person of color to the moon!! As she was sharing her journey to become an astronaut, there was one story in particular that stood out to me. You and Astronaut Kayla Barron have a lot more in common than you think. Even Astronauts have their doubts. Her story is a friendly reminder about navigating career pivots.
