In this heartfelt episode, Vanessa opens up about the power of real, soul‑nourishing friendships — the kind that help rebuild you, celebrate you, and walk with you through every season of life. Inspired by Galentine’s Day, sisterhood, and her own healing journey, she shares how meaningful female friendships transformed her life after years of feeling alone, overly dependent on relationships, and disconnected from community.

Vanessa reflects on:

• How she went from isolating herself in relationships to nurturing a thriving circle of women
• Why healthy friendships are essential for emotional well‑being, healing, and growth
• The difference between draining friendships and empowering ones
• How to attract aligned women by choosing yourself first
• Practical ways to build friendships as an adult — even if it feels scary
• The importance of vulnerability, reciprocity, and showing up
• Letting go of friendships rooted in unhealthy habits or obligation

• How affirmations, self‑love, and community helped her rebuild her life

This episode is a warm reminder that you are Never too broken, too late, or too far gone to create the friendships you deserve. Your village is out there — and it starts with becoming the friend you wish you had.

New year, new energy, and a very real life update. In this episode, I’m sharing what 2026 is already teaching me — from manifesting a third bedroom and upgrading to a BMW, to understanding that patience and gratitude will take you further than panic ever could.

We’re also getting into the Benito halftime takeover, media distractions, and the slightly unhinged story of how a new pre-workout had me questioning my entire existence (don’t worry, I survived… obviously).

It’s mindset, manifestation, growth, humor, and honest reflections about what it really looks like to step into your next level — even when it doesn’t look perfect.

And remember…
Unicorns do exist.

Alcoholism in the Hispanic community is often ignored, joked about, or swept under the rug — and we’re done staying quiet.

In this episode of Unicorns Do Exist, I’m joined by Gaby, host of the No Pus Guao podcast, for a fun, honest, very Latina conversation about alcohol, weed, ecstasy, and why alcohol is the most normalized — and most dangerous — drug of all.

We talk culture, family patterns, machismo, silence, and how alcohol is treated as “normal” while other substances are villainized. Plus, with the Super Bowl and Bad Bunny headlining the halftime show — aka the Benito Bowl — we dive into that cultural moment too. 🏈🎤🍻

This is real talk, simple words, lots of flavor — and zero judgment.
If you grew up around alcohol, questioned it, or felt like nobody ever wanted to talk about it… this episode is for you.

This episode is an honest one.

We’re talking about what’s happening in the United States right now, why it feels so heavy, and why this moment isn’t new — it’s just finally being seen. And instead of spiraling into fear or numbness, we’re having an honest conversation about choice: the meaning we give things, the perspective we live from, and the strength we’re being called into right now.

I share why pain is a catalyst, not a dead end — and why more than ever, we can’t afford to ignore what’s happening, or let it destroy us. Awareness matters. Standing up for one another matters. Becoming mentally, emotionally, and physically stronger matters.

We also talk about how precious life actually is — and how you can only see what you’re willing to open yourself to. Your brain is trained to prove itself right, which is why women who believe “all the good ones are gone” somehow keep ending up with the same version of That Bad Man over and over again. Not because it’s true — but because perception shapes reality.

This episode is about:

• Choosing meaning instead of fear
• Growth instead of despair
• Awareness without losing your humanity
• Strength without becoming hardened
• And why hate always comes from self-hate

If the world feels overwhelming right now, this conversation will ground you — not by pretending things are fine, but by reminding you that you still have power, choice, and responsibility in how you move forward.

🎧 Listen now and choose to see differently — because what you focus on is what you create.

Why do so many people want passion, attraction, and a soft feminine partner… without doing the work to lead, grow, or evolve?

In this episode of Unicorns Do Exist, Vanessa gets real (and a little spicy) about lazy energy in relationships—and why attraction dies when there’s no drive, no purpose, and no personal growth. We’re talking masculine and feminine energy, emotional leadership, physical vitality, and why simply having a job is not the same as being a high-value partner.

Using insights from Esther Perel and Hold Me Tight by Sue Johnson, this episode breaks down what actually creates desire, polarity, and safety in modern relationships—whether you identify with masculine or feminine energy.

This is not a man-bashing episode.
This is a wake-up call.

If you’ve ever felt turned off by lack of ambition, uninspired by emotional laziness, or frustrated trying to soften when there’s nothing to lean into—this conversation will hit home.

✨ Expect topics like:

• Masculine vs feminine energy in relationships
• Why attraction requires movement, growth, and leadership
• Emotional safety, polarity, and desire
• Why driven people don’t stay “broke” (in any sense of the word)

• How laziness kills intimacy—physically, mentally, and emotionally

🦄 Unicorns do exist… but they don’t settle for stagnant energy.

In this episode of Unicorns Do Exist, Vanessa gets radically honest about why she’s dating without intention—and why it’s been the healthiest decision she’s ever made.

This is a deep, unfiltered conversation about love, motherhood, freedom, cultural conditioning, divorce glow-ups, and why rushing into relationships out of fear creates more suffering than solitude ever could. Vanessa unpacks how women—especially in the Hispanic community—are taught to endure, sacrifice, and follow timelines that were never questioned.

Drawing from The Mastery of Love by Don Miguel Ruiz and her own lived experience as a mother navigating dating, co-parenting, and self-discovery, this episode challenges everything we’ve been told about marriage, kids, and “doing life right.”

⚠️ Fair warning: once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

🎧 Listen to the end for a perspective on heartbreak, loneliness, and why choosing yourself first isn’t selfish—it’s necessary.
