In this episode of Latinaly, we talk about what it really means to know your own mind—and trust it, even when the world tells you not to. Inspired by a viral advice column that missed the mark, I unpack the importance of self-trust, especially for women of color who are often told to second-guess their desires.We explore why projecting personal fears onto someone else’s dreams is harmful, how to sit confidently in your own decisions (even if they lead to mistakes), and the difference between gui...

After two and a half years away from the mic, I’m back. And I’m not gonna lie — coming back felt heavy. In this episode of Latinaly, I open up about the messy, uncomfortable, very real battle with imposter syndrome and what it took for me to relaunch this show when the podcast space looks nothing like it did before. Diving into the meaning of what our tagline represents and who its representing - the women that have been labeled as "too much" - and yeah, we definitely are. I get into the pressur...

Hosted by Kiah Burgos — mother, wife, creative, and woman constantly becoming — this podcast is about navigating life on your own terms - untamed, uncensored, and unapologetically.

We're at the end of season 3 and the only thing appropriate I felt to discuss was the commonality of people settling for less than what they WANT. Thank you for listening this season, I can't wait to come back for season 4!

Today's episode is blunt, unapologetic, and completely necessary. I am looked at as a lot of things because of my personality and what I say. My vibe is "I said what I said" and that makes me the bad guy because I set numerous boundaries, don't hold my tongue, now tolerate anyone disrupting the peace that I've created. Will I ever change? No. Am I okay being the bad guy? Always.

We are taught to cater to our husbands, tidy our home, and care for our children all before we even take a first look at ourselves. Self care comes in many forms, large, small, expensive, and priceless. What does self care look like? Is it getting a facial or is it starting a business? We take a deep dive into the importance of self care and how we need to choose ourselves everyday.

One of the things I always get when people meet me is how confident I am. This version of me now is one that I've worked on for years and she's no where near complete. And there are plenty of women out there who are not confident in the slightest, this episode is for those who wish to change that, or for women who want to continue to build their confidence as I am.

I have often been called cold because I do not attach myself to the issues of others, and many times...my delivery is curt and not so warm. Today's world is full of issues and it seems like someone is always going through something. And whole relatable and understandable, it's also exhausting to be the shoulders in which a lot of people find comfort in resting their problems on. And for a long time I allowed it to take over me. I absorbed their issues and made them my own because of how empathet...

It is so easy to compare yourself and your life to the ones you see on social media, we all fall victim to it. But why? It does nothing but cause negative thinking and honestly sets us back. Your journey is yours, life is a long marathon, not a speed race. Sometimes the end goal seems so far away, but everything you're working towards will happen, and you will find yourself only in competition with you - to better yourself mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially.

To all my mamas, I know the days are long, and our babies are growing at the speed of light and somehow the days also seem too short. Everything you do does not go unnoticed. All the late nights and early mornings, how we try SO hard to keep the house clean and have everything in order, how you barely have time to brush your teeth in the morning because someone needs you. It never ends, but it’s worth it. I put in 8 - 14 hours a day sometimes while I take care of my son, and as difficult as it i...

We work so hard to raise our babies the way we see fit as mothers. I know it takes a village - but that does not mean that other people have a right to your child, nor can they tell you how to raise your baby. But what happens if they try? How can you stop it - how can you prevent it? That's what we talk about on today's episode.

I had my first kiss at a very young age, so when someone sent me a topic of never being kissed at the age of 25, it intrigued me in a million ways. Not a bad thing or a good thing, but would you be upset? There are people who choose that life - this episode isn't for you. Are you someone who's never been kissed? This is how I'd feel if that was me.

Listen, I LOVE to brag about my success, we all do. Not to boast, but because we are proud. Success is a result of countless hours of hard work that no one sees. And I'm the type of person that will always keep my moves quiet - call it superstition OR call it what it is. People don't care about the journey, truthfully people will only look to tear you down while you climb. Let's dish on today' episode on why we need to succeed in silence.

Often the cliche "New Year, New Me" is frowned upon, but why? I feel that with each new year, we should always strive to be better than we were the year before.
