In this special Heart to Heart minisode, I sit down with Ana Cristina Cash in Avilés, Asturias, where a conversation about our Cuban families & Spanish roots uncovers an unexpected connection between our stories. 🇨🇺🇪🇸 A conversation about family, identity & the ties that somehow always bring us home. 🤍 #HeartToHeartPodcast #AnaCristinaCash #HeartfullLiving #CubanAmerican #Asturias #Aviles #FamilyHistory #Genealogy #CubanHistory #SpanishRoots

In this episode of Heart to Heart, I sit down with educator, creator & proud Miami Cuban Betty Williams for a conversation filled with heart, laughter & a whole lot of cafecito energy 🤍 We talk about growing up in Miami with an Argentinian father & Cuban mother, life in Westchester, marrying into a Dominican family & how culture shapes identity, family & the way we move through the world. Betty also shares her journey from dreaming of being on children’s television to becoming an early childhood special education teacher creating bilingual educational workbooks & content that support both children & parents. We dive into how her brother with Down syndrome deeply influenced her path as an educator & the full circle moments that brought her back into the classroom. And of course… we had to test her Cuban credentials with a hilarious round of “Like, Literally Cuban,” where Betty decoded iconic Cuban sayings complete with hand gestures, drama & all 😂🇨🇺 A conversation about purpose, identity, teaching the littles, embracing your roots & building a life that feels aligned with who you truly are.

Cristy Diaz didn't set out to become a voice for Miami women — but a spinal surgery, a social media moment, and a lot of courage later, here she is. In this episode she walks us through her journey from surgery recovery to podcast host, why she's committed to bringing the most uncomfortable women's topics into the open, and the stories that have moved her most along the way. She covers miscarriages, cosmetic surgery gone wrong, Botox, facelifts, hair extensions, what men really think about women's appearance, and her son's emergency medical situation. She also shares what she'd love to see more women talking about and where she wants the Heart to Heart Podcast to go next. Honest, funny, emotional, and completely real — this one is for every woman in Miami.

What does it really mean to be a working mom today… and how different is it from the generation that raised us? In this episode, I sit down with Melissa Berthier & Magda Rodriguez Brenner to talk about how motherhood reshapes identity & purpose, what has changed (and what hasn’t) for working moms, and the pressure of balance versus the reality behind it. We also dive into the village it takes to support a working mother… and what we’re choosing to carry forward versus do differently. An honest conversation about ambition, guilt, balance & redefining success in this season of life 🤍
