Kate Del Castillo has built and rebuilt her life over and over as a successful actress making the crossover from Mexico to the United States, as a woman who chose to leave an abusive marriage, and then again, most recently, following the very public fallout of her meeting with former cartel leader Javier Kuzman El Chapo.

Part of that rebuilding includes Kate's return to Telemundoz La Rina del Sour, where she plays her favorite anti-hero, Teresa Mendoza.

More than 10 years have passed since the show's original release,

and we talk about the lessons Kate has learned in that time,

her other projects, including her production company, Chola Wood,

and her new peacock dark comedy, Armas de Mujer,

about four women who banned together after the police arrest their husbands

for being tied to the same criminal organization.

And of course, her raw insights on messing up, living with the consequences, and how she learned

to trust her gut.

Kate, thank you so much for being here.

Of course. Thank you, Alicia, for having me.

I was thinking and preparing for this interview with you of the interview I did for Latina to Latina with Eva Longoria.

And Eva talks a lot about the fact, I know your friends.

Yes.

She talks a lot about the fact that she became famous at 30 years old.

And that meant she was a fully formed adult when she became famous.

And that really gave her a ton of perspective.

So to think of you at 19 becoming this huge celebrity, were you ready for it?

I don't think anybody can be ready for fame.

I knew about it because of my dad.

So it was nothing new for me.
