Welcome to Unbreakable Latina.

Hi guys, welcome back to Unbreakable Latina. This is your host Melina. I hope you're having an amazing day, whatever day you're listening to this on. It is Sunday, 9 p.m. and I'm recording the podcast last minute because Friday I had a babysit my niece and Saturday I had plans and then Sunday I had a Galentine's Day with the Meei Social Club, and honestly, I am exhausted.

I don't know how I'm still awake right now.

I'm running on fumes, but I do want to point out that I feel what a lot of us are feeling

right now, and it's just a lot of devastation with all the

deportation, with ice everywhere, with planes falling, with the economy. Everything is so

heavy right now that I don't want this episode to focus on that, even though I am talking

about it right now, but I want you guys to know that I do acknowledge that everything is crappy

right now. It really is, but I want my podcast to be a distraction, a little moment of peace and just self-reflection. And I want to say that if you're

having a hard time, we're all having a hard time, just try to do your best and be there for

yourself, because right now it's important to just take care of you, your mental health, your family, and just be grateful for the little things because so much is shitty that if we keep on dwelling on how crappy it is, we're just going to get in a worst mental space that we already are.

And I speak for myself when I say this, but I also have been having a lot of conversations with

friends. And we're all just trying to cope day by day, take it one day at a time,

and just pray for the best and continue to be the good person that you are.

Because all that matters right now

is being a kind person and just standing up for what is right and that's all I'm going to say

for that. Let's get back to regular programming. I like to listen to podcasts that keep it real

and also podcasts that make me just get a little distracted

for a moment of all the chaotic things that are happening like in the world and then you see

it on social media and it's just very overwhelming and our lives are already hard as it is and

this just adds like another layer. Anyways, let's get back to a regular programming.

I've been so busy the last two weeks where I had a vision board event with my girl
