Growing with Alondra: A Reflective, Leisure Podcast

Hiiii, I am BACK! It has been a WHILE. I've been learning so much in this time that I've been away, and I can't wait to share it with you ♥.

There are times in our lives when we are uncertain of where we are going, or HOW we will get there, and I am not exempt from that. It's especially tough when you are on this path and people see you as someone who has it all together. You may panic and think you are in crisis, or start even questioning whether you are even as worthy or capable as others may or may not think. If this is you, come an...

Reflecting on the times that I could have done better in being ahead by believing in myself, putting myself first, and/or taking initiative in my talents/goals/dreams sooner. Whether it be due to procrastination, self-doubt, others planting seeds of self-doubt in me in the past, or waiting on others.

This episode centers on how we get easily swayed by what we see out there without taking the time to appreciate what is cool about what is already within us. About the importance of having more autonomy in our youth in terms of being more free-thinkers instead of thinking we're cool because we're following others. and how uncool that is anyway and ironically so because we associate being IN (keepi...

Sometimes we feel behind in life and while it is a very human thing to feel at any age, when that happens it's always important to come back to ourselves and realize these things (mentioned in this weeks episode). These are some of the thoughts that I navigate through when those feelings want to creep up on me, and if you're listening, I hope this perspective can be a balm for you as well, as it i...

Hi lovely people! In this episode, I touch on what it has felt like for me being the older sibling. The feelings have changed over the years, but it's been amazing how much life can surprise you on what someone ends up meaning and being to your life. A few years ago although my sister and I's relationship was ok, it was always on the surface, but now...WOW!  Please, don't forget to subscribe...

In this episode, I talk about my experience as an introvert and the prenotions that others might have on why people are introverts. The loneliness that comes with being an introvert but also the fact that it's a pleasure to some of us. Basically, we are not all introverted for the same reasons but maybe if you're an introvert you might feel like some of this resonates with you, and if you're an ex...

We were watching the JLo "Halftime" documentary on Netflix when my sister asks "Aren't you proud of being Latina?". All of a sudden all these questions as to what makes a Latina, arose as I questioned the stereotypes that come with being one vs. what I am. This is for anyone, regardless of race, age, or gender, and I hope that if in any way or in others, you relate, that you know you are not alone...

Hello Beautiful People! We are back with another episode of Let's Talk and Grow! This week I discuss cancel-culture and the parts that I am "iffy" about, to an extent. This episode attempts to analyze certain aspects where I feel there can be more of a balance in society when it comes to this movement of our time.

Hi beautiful people! This episode titled Wasn't I the One Who... is an episode that came about when I was having self-doubt. I don't know where I heard "Wasn't I the one..." whether it was on television, or in my head but as someone who is inspired by nearly everything, those word seem to come to me just at the right time. My mind (like it does every time an episode comes about), started creating...

Hello beautiful people! This episode is about all the things I wish I had told that little Me, Alondra; full of uncertainty, who felt deep loneliness but then found the greatest friend in herself. The girl who felt like she had to raise herself at times which also made her introverted, quiet and reserved. None of which are bad, but adult me has the comfort to her pains and doubts that wouldn't all...

In this episode of Let's Talk and Grow I celebrate individuality; staying true to the beauty of what makes you, you. Be and look the way you feel beautiful, bold and inspired, but make sure you are doing it because that is what speaks to you and not because being or looking a certain way is the trend of the year. This episode serves both young and old, people who have been ridiculed as well the pe...

Listen, I am not one to usually set New Year resolutions, but I just happen to be at particular momentum in life where the feelings of making huge changes are very prominent in my life, not because it's the start of a new year, but rather the moment just happens to be aligning to the times coincidentally so. For one, I just started this podcast towards the end of the year, and I've been wanting to...

Gratitude, a practice that is so underrated in this world; a true life-changer. In this episode, Alondra Jiménez talks about how she unknowingly was practicing gratitude when she was just a middle-schooler walking on her way to school in the mornings, and how she eventually learned what it was when she had a spiritual awakening in 2017. She goes on to explain a practice that she learned by Psychol...

In this episode of Let's Talk and Grow, Alondra talks about an experience that where she was paralyzed from head to toe, until the point where she almost completely stopped breathing. In what Alondra felt to be a near-death experience, she talks to us about how this experience was completely life-changing for her and shares with us the lessons that she tries to live by each day. Please don't forge...

We have so many dreams in our lives that we don't pursue because we think we're not worthy of putting ourselves out there because we don't have the expertise, the public opinions credibility, because we're too shy, or because we're not as good as the "best", or because everyone will think we're making a fool out of ourselves. Stop letting others and yourself getting in the way of your soul reachin...
