We’re Baaaack: Summer Catch up & Season 2 Kickoff

We’re baaaack! In this mid-summer catch-up (recorded July 31) the Braga sisters get real about rest, community, and doing the work without burning out. We talk about summer memories, why we run the show in seasons, and how the nonstop immigration news cycle has felt heavy — especially for first-gens living it. We also share what’s in store for Season 2, unveil our new merch, and invite you to join our email newsletter so you never miss an episode.Resources & Terms MentionedUnlearning Shame: How We Can Reject Self-Blame Culture and Reclaim Our Power by Devon PriceThe Target Takeback (n.) When a brand loudly embraces diversity and inclusion, then backpedals the moment there’s political (or financial) pressure. Then roll it all back out again when it’s profitable.
