It all comes down to choices… how are you choosing to show up in the world? Kick inertia in the teeth with these three check-in questions.
Una Palabra Sola Episode 15, bastante
This episode talks about the lost art of “enough”. How much is enough? What’s “good enough” look and feel like for you — and who determines that? Grab a pen, a journal, or a pillow to scream into and vamos!

Una Palabra Sola Episode 7, al principio
What better way to start the new year than at *the beginning* - or, al principio? It’s fitting that I’m currently writing this in the Spring, a few months past the actual launch date, because for me: todo lo bueno empieza cada primavera. As nature thaws, so do my motivation and goals!
Una Palabra Sola Episode 6, el polvo
El polvo - or dust- can be a powerful thing. It sets the stage in movies and literature like nobody’s business, and for all those chefs out there - very útil en la cocina. Listen to the full episode and think of how you might be collecting dust in your memories, around your experiences— and what you’d like to do about it.
Una Palabra Sola Episode 5, ya
