The Resilience Within S3E5 w/ Violeta Garza - Los 13 Aires Cósmicos

Season 3 is about self-care, because self-care is community care. Violeta Garza sat with me in the studio and shared some of her journey from external validation to internal knowing. After a series of TBI’s (traumatic brain injuries), she realized she had no choice but to ✨slow down✨ and pay attention to her body’s needs and capacities. This stance of radical self-care has led her into a beautiful life doing what she loves with people she loves: creating art and using her voice. She also shared the medicine of “Los 13 Aires Cósmicos,” a way to work with the “icky” feelings that sometimes run through us. Violeta, thanks for the medicine!  —- Violeta Garza is an award-winning  Latinx poet. Her debut poetry chapbook Brava will be released in September 2025 by First Matter Press.
