Day 13: Signs that your ancestors are trying to get your attention! 15.12.2025 2:54
“If You’ve Been Waking Up at 3AM… This One’s for You.” If you’ve been popping awake at 3 AM , hearing songs out of nowhere, smelling scents that aren’t in your house, or watching your tech glitch like it’s possessed — listen closely. Your ancestors are trying to get your attention… and baby, they’re not being subtle about it. ✨ These aren’t coincidences. These are spiritual notifications . And in...
Day 12: How to clean your ancestral altars. 13.12.2025 3:20
Listen up, hallowed ones: energetic hygiene isn’t optional. It’s spiritual respect. Period. If your ancestor altar is looking like a dusty bodega shelf in July — crusty offerings, swampy water, and zero love — you’re not honoring . You’re hoarding. 🙃 In this episode, I’m walking you through a no-nonsense limpia to: Refresh your altar Renew your connection with your ancestors Show proper respect t...
Day 11: Ancestors are not demons they are your bloodlines! 12.12.2025 6:45
Let’s get something straight: ancestral veneration is not a trend. It’s not a religion. It’s not a Pinterest altar flex. It’s sacred. It’s ancient. And yes — it’s your birthright . In today’s episode, I’m breaking down 11 ancestral myths that need to die , especially the ones wrapped in colonizer fear, TikTok confusion, and plain misinformation. And just to be clear: in some lineages, we honor ani...
Day 10: What to offer and what not to offer! 11.12.2025 6:32
“Coffee? Fruit? Florida Water? Let’s Talk Offerings.” Alright y’all… some of you are out here giving your ancestors everything but the chancleta — so let’s break this down before your altar turns into a buffet line or a fruit-fly nightclub. Today, we’re talking offerings : What to give, when to give it, and how to give it with intention instead of chaos. In this episode, I get into: 🧭 Directional...
Day 9: Create your altar with what you have at home! 10.12.2025 5:45
Let me tell you something real quick: You don’t need money. You don’t need crystal chalices. You don’t need a luxury botanica haul to honor your lineage. You just need intention . Your ancestors are not checking for marble statues, curated aesthetics, or $80 candles. They’re checking for you . Your presence. Your honesty. Your heart. In today’s episode, I’m breaking it down like we’re on FaceTime...
Day 8: What altars are & what they aren't! 09.12.2025 6:49
Let me clear something up right from the jump: Altars are not spooky. They’re not creepy. They’re not some haunted movie moment. Altars are sacred spaces of connection . Period. In this week’s episode—part of WEEK 2 in the Altars, Offerings & Honoring series—I’m breaking down what an ancestor altar actually is… and what it absolutely is not. From the bóveda espiritual , to a Día de los Muertos...
Day 7: No altar, no candle, no tools, no problem! 08.12.2025 4:17
Let me free somebody’s mind real quick: You do not need an altar to start ancestral work. You don’t need candles. You don’t need crystals. You don’t need a perfectly curated ritual setup. What you do need is intention, consistency, and a little honesty with yourself. That’s it. In today’s episode, I’m breaking down exactly how to begin connecting with your ancestors — even if you don’t have tools,...
Day 6: Not all ancestors need to be venerated! 06.12.2025 2:45
Let’s get real for a moment. You do not owe veneration to every person in your lineage. Some of your ancestors were the ones who broke you… or broke the very line you’re now trying to heal. And you are not here to blindly honor harm just because it existed before you. Spiritual boundaries matter — even in the ancestral realm. Ancestral work isn’t about pretending everyone was wise, holy, or deserv...
Day 5:”What if my ancestors were toxic? 05.12.2025 3:00
Alright, let’s go there. Because here’s the truth: not every ancestor is meant to be venerated. Some caused deep harm. Some are the reason you had to survive in the first place. Ancestral work doesn’t mean pretending every person who came before you was worthy of honor. It means holding space for the truth — the pain, the patterns, the ones who hurt you, and the ones who tried to protect you. You...
Day 4: You are their dream & their disruption! 04.12.2025 2:47
Listen, hallowed one — here’s the truth: you are their dream and their shadow. That’s why it feels so damn heavy sometimes. You’re not crazy. You’re the one chosen to break cycles, heal wounds, speak truth, and make the kind of decisions your ancestors never even got to imagine. You’re not just the altar. You ARE the answer. This episode? Think of it as your ancestral gut check . Some of y’all are...
💀DAY 3: Your Ancestors Are Not Gods. Read That Again. 03.12.2025 2:53
“Your Ancestors Are Not Gods” Let’s get real for a second. Some of y’all are out here worshipping your ancestors like they’re divine deities… when half of them couldn’t even hold down a job or keep a relationship together. And that’s not shade, boo — that’s the truth. Stop romanticizing your lineage and start building a real relationship . Your ancestors are not gods . They’re not here to be worsh...
Day 2: “Who TF Are Your Ancestors?” 02.12.2025 2:59
Alright y’all, let’s get into it, because I know some of you are still out here acting like you just appeared on this earth with no spiritual WiFi connection. Listen closely: YES, you have ancestors. Even if you don’t know their names… even if the family history is messy, missing, or sounds like a whole telenovela on Univision. You are not ancestor‑less. You’re just disconnected — and that? We can...
Season 2: Episode 1 Ancestral Healing Is NOT Just Lighting a White Candle 01.12.2025 2:25

Let me say that again so it lands in your spirit:...
Day 24: Reclaiming Yourself! 27.11.2025 2:22
Say your real name with your full chest. Not the nickname they chopped up to make it “easier.” Not the version they could pronounce without effort. I’m talking about the name your ancestors dreamed of… the name that carries your legacy, your lineage, your light. When you shrink your name, you shrink your power. But when you reclaim it? You activate every soul who carried it before you. That name i...

Day 26: Boundaries saved my mental health! 18.11.2025 3:30
🌞✨ Let Me Tell You a Little Story… There was a time when folks thought my life was an all-access pass. Family popping up unannounced. Friends calling at 1AM like I was their emotional 911. And for a long time… I let it happen. I thought being available equaled being loved. Whew, chile. I was tired, used, and invisible in my own damn life. Until I said NO. No more pop-ups. No more late-night cris...

💅🏽 Day 20 of #30DaysOfBoundaries and it’s time for a FaceTime-style PSA: 🗣️ “Boundaries, boo. Look it up.” Yeah… somebody actually said, “But that’s your family—you can’t cut them off.” Mija, just because someone’s related doesn’t mean they get VIP access to your peace. ✋🏽 If their energy is chaotic, toxic, or draining your spirit like a tía with no filter at a baby shower—they gotta go.
