Here are some recent episodes I've been featured on

Check out some of my guest appearances on some of these podcasts!

Since returning to podcasting last August, I was eager to start promoting my podcast and to share the many things that I’ve experienced since stepping away back in 2023. I’ve been invited to be on a number of podcasts recently, and I’ve had a blast being a guest on these shows, talking about a variety of topics from ICE raids, my mental health battles, my recent grief journey, reclaiming cultural and language identity, the podcasting landscape, among many others. There were laughs, tears, reflection, eye-rolling, and seriousness in these episodes. I’m grateful to have the opportunity to be in conversation with these hosts, and it’s a joy to share my experiences with them and their audiences. Hope you get to check out these guest appearances and follow their show.
