Livin' La Vida Salsa Podcast

This Mother’s Day-inspired episode is a little different. Less polished presentation… more heartfelt coffee conversation. In this short reflective episode, I share how stepping outside my comfort zone through a lifting certification became a deeper lesson on rhythm, purpose, motherhood, strength, and God’s grace. Because sometimes the goal isn’t just to carry the load… It’s to keep rising through it with joy. To remember that we are not just doing life — we are dancing through it. 🎧 Tune in for a gentle encouragement to keep growing, keep trusting God’s rhythm, and keep dancing even in the middle of responsibility.

Trying something new with this episode — a shorter, more reflective conversation meant to bless you with both a pause and a prayer. In a season of noise and busyness, we explore what it means to move in alignment — knowing when to slow down, when to step forward, and how to listen for the music shaping your current season. A quiet companion for your drive, your walk, or your morning reset. Tune out the noise. Tune in to your calling. And as always… keep dancing!

This episode is a heartfelt celebration of family, love, and new beginnings. Through the rhythm of salsa, we reflect on how life unfolds like a dance—asking us to trust, listen, and move with grace as new chapters begin. Joined by my stepson Chris and his fiancée, we honor a beautiful and unexpected season of togetherness and use the metaphor of dance to gently usher them into the next milestone of their lives. Releasing this episode on the one-year anniversary of Livin’ La Vida Salsa makes it an especially meaningful moment of gratitude and reflection.

🎧 Episode 10: Feed the Flock, Fuel the Dance This week, I’m joined by registered dietitian and mom of two, Meg Whitbeck, MS RDN, as we talk about feeding the body, nurturing the family, and fueling the joyful rhythm of everyday life.

In this soul-stirring episode, I’m joined once again by my favorite co-host — my husband, Louis Paulino — as we explore the divine rhythm of life’s pushes and pulls. Together, we reflect on how life nudges us forward, pulls us inward, and teaches us to move with grace, even when the choreography feels unclear. Using the metaphor of dance, we unpack the difference between real growth and its counterfeit versions, how to discern God's voice in the tension, and why rest is just as holy as momentum. Whether you’re feeling stretched, called, or simply tired — this episode will encourage you to keep dancing, keep listening, and keep trusting the One who leads with love. ✨ Tune in and be reminded: Every push has a purpose. Every pull carries grace
