Mientras tanto in English

If I decide to do something, I immediately want to be good at it. Apparently enjoying it is not enough. In this episode , I'm talking about baking without opening a business, walking without training for a marathon, trying reformer Pilates without knowing whether I’ll become a Pilates person, and learning how to be a beginner without turning everything into a project. Sometimes the things we e...

I like posting, I like pictures, I like sharing parts of my life. I just don't want to accidentally convince myself that the parts nobody sees matter less. In this episode , I'm talking about the pressure to document ordinary moments, wondering whether I'm preserving an experience or interrupting it, the difference between taking a picture to remember something and taking it because it...

I started a podcast. Then I made an Instagram for the podcast, and another Instagram for the other podcast. And somewhere along the way, I started looking at completely normal moments and asking: “Could this be a Reel?” In this episode, I’m talking about learning content creation in public, trying every hook and format, caring about numbers without wanting them to change who I am, dealing with aud...

Ambition usually sounds like more. The next title, more money, more responsibility., another degree, another accomplishment people can see and congratulate you for. For almost fourteen years, ambition looked like constant movement to me. And I’m still ambitious. I still want to grow, learn, accomplish things, and build a life I’m proud of. But my definition of success has changed. In this episode...

Making friends as an adult is weird. You meet someone. You exchange numbers. You wonder who should text first, whether they actually want to hang out, and at what point you can officially say you're friends. Sometimes you meet people through apps. Sometimes you really like someone and your schedules still never line up. Sometimes a friendship starts beautifully and then quietly disappears without...

By 37, I thought certain things would already be figured out: ​Career. ​Marriage. ​Kids. ​A home. ​Money. ​The timeline. Except life didn't exactly follow the schedule I had in my head. And the weird part is that a lot of that schedule wasn't even really mine. In this episode , I'm talking about the milestones we're told should happen by a certain age, what it feels like when your life doesn't lin...

I used to have a pretty clear plan for my life. My career was a huge part of it. I loved the pressure, the responsibility, the next opportunity, and always having another goal to work toward. Then, my life changed, and suddenly work wasn't filling almost every part of my day anymore. Now, I'm ready to go back!... The weird part? I'm not sure I want to go back to exactly the same life. In the first...

How do other people remember us - and what happens when the version they hold no longer matches who we are today? In the Season 1 finale of Mientras tanto In English , I reflect on identify, personal growth, memory, change, and the past versions of ourselves that continue to exist in other people's stories. A quiet reflection on forgiving who we used to be, learning from it, and recognizing th...

Why do we explain ourselves so much, even after we have already been clear? In this episode of Mientras tanto In English, I reflect on over explaining, feeling misunderstood, needing permission, and the difference between being understood and being agreed with - and whether I am explaining myself to someone else of trying to convince myself.

Some conversations end, but we keep replaying them - what we said, what we missed, and what we wish we had said differently. In this episode of Mientras tanto In English, I reflect on replaying conversations, overthinking, what-ifs, and the feelings that kee bringing us back long after the conversation is over.

Some relationships don't end with a conversation. They end with silence, distance, and unanswered questions. In this episode, I explore what happens when closure never comes, why silence is information too, and how we can keep moving forward without every answer we hoped for.

Why do some reactions feel so automatic? Some reactions don't start in the present. They come from ways of moving through life that once felt necessary, and later started to feel normal. In this episode, I talk about the things I used to call personality (being careful, learned behavior, old patterns, reading too much into tone, over-explaining, not trusting calm) and what shifted when I start...

Sometimes advice is not what you need first. Sometimes what you need are words, for something that feels real before you fully understand it. In this first episode of Mientras Tanto in English, I'm introducing the space, why it exists, and why this podcast begins here. IG: @mientrastanto.inenglish This is not therapy, advice or a guide and does not substitute professional support when that is...
