No More Yes Girls

Send us Fan Mail Growing up in a first-gen household, many of us became the “fixers.” The emotional mediators. The peace-keepers. The ones who tried to guide, teach, translate, protect — and sometimes… control. Not because we wanted power, but because survival taught us: ✨ “If I don’t fix it, it falls apart.” ✨ “If I don’t hold it together, no one will.” ✨ “If they change, then maybe we’ll fina...

Send us Fan Mail In Mexican families, we grow up hearing “pobrecita, le ha ido tan mal” — but rarely “qué valiente por cambiar su vida.” We’ve learned to glorify pain, to measure worth by how much we’ve suffered, and to feel seen only when we’re struggling.

That’s where we’ve been sitting. In this episode, we get real about what it means to be in an emotional funk — those seasons where your energy dips, your motivation disappears, and even the things you love feel...

Send us Fan Mail Divorce is one of those life events that can break you—or shape you. In this episode, we open up about what it was like growing up as first-gen daughters of divorced parents, and how that experience changed the way we see love, family, and ourselves. From learning independence too early, to carrying unspoken responsibilities, to navigating two households that felt like different w...

Send us Fan Mail We’re Viviann and Vieney, two first-gen Mexican-American sisters who used to say yes to everything... until we realized it was costing us our peace, our softness, and our voice. In this first episode of No More Yes Girls, we’re getting raw, real, and reflective about: -Why we were conditioned to always say yes -The emotional cost of people-pleasing and overgiving-The generational...
