She opens up about self-love, accountability, spirituality, forgiveness, and the practices that helped her reconnect with her inner strength. The conversation also dives into the story behind Hilda La Tamalera — how a desire to honor her roots and create something meaningful led her back to tamales, a tradition passed down from her mother.
