Revisiting 2016 and Recharging for 2026

We start this episode with an acknowledgement of the recent unjust killings by ICE of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Two people standing up for their community and neighbors, like so many of our listeners do every day and who were murdered for doing so. We know that this and the cruelty of ICE’s actions across the country is weighing heavily on all of us. To help us, we’ll start this episode with a new segment: Mindful Moments with Delsy, where she’ll give us some recommendations on how to take care of ourselves during these challenging times.After that, you’ll hear us reflect on who we were in 2016 and what we’re leaving behind from a decade ago. Lastly, we have a chat with actress Belissa Escobedo who stars in Happy Place, opposite Reba McEntire, and learn about her career journey.JOIN US FOR ENCUENTRO (April 30 - May 4)Encuentro is a restorative retreat for women and non binary folx, designed to inspire connection, empowerment, and self-care.
