Micro Honesty™

🌱 Micro Honesty™ How One Percent of Truth Can Change Everything As an esthetics instructor , I care deeply about who’s working on your cara and cuerpo (face and body). Aesthetic work is intimate. So if an aesthetician can’t speak up and say, “From a professional standpoint, esto (this) is what’s best for you,” then things can go terribly wrong — not just with the skin, but with self-trust. 🧖🏽‍♀️💬🪷 Example? When a client walks in with inflamed breakouts and visible pus activity, I gently ask: “Have you been allergy tested?” Many times, they return weeks later shocked — allergic to cats, strawberries, dairy, stress… or all of the above. 🌿🤧🧃 That’s what Micro Honesty™ gets us. It gets to the raíz — the root cause. It listens to the message your body is desperately trying to send. 💌👂🏽✨ And in Spiritual Estheticss™ , it’s the same. My spirit had been whispering for years: “You’re allergic to that person. You’re allergic to that energy. You’re all...

Permission Slips Part 2

✨ Emotional Permission Slips: Part Two ✨ For those of us raised in households without boundaries, emotional language, or examples of nonviolent love. 🇵🇷 Part 1 recap: I said goodbye to the “Gettcha God,” hello to Dhamma, and started rewriting my scripts— con cariño (with love), for me and for the next gen. Some of my first real permission slips were silent. 🧘🏽‍♀️ No big announcements. Just soft, inner decisions. Like: “I can say I don’t know without shame.” “I don’t have to explain my tears, mi dolor (my pain), or why I left early.” “I can exit a conversation when my nervous system is saying: Run, girl.” “I can pause instead of people-pleasing.” “I don’t have to shrink for nobody. Nadie (nobody).” That’s a big one. Because shrinking was a survival strategy. 🙃 Especially when you were told, directly or indirectly: “Don’t be too loud. Don’t be too proud. Don’t make people uncomfortable.” And baby, I listened. Until I didn’t. Until I asked myse...

I Left The Table Because The Meal Was Lies.™ 🍽️

💥 The Buck Stops With Me™ I went to the silent retreat to disappear. Three months. That was the plan. A holy hideout. I’ve done it before—sit, serve, vanish. A “good girl” disappearance. Respectable avoidance. Maybe even spiritual-sounding. Pero this time? Life had other plans. 🧃 I lasted one month. Not because I failed— but because I finally stopped betraying myself. 🫱🏽💔 I went to tend to the girl who got pregnant at 16 , became a mami at 17 , and was told by the church: “That baby is a bastard. God is mad. Your body is broken.” Her name is: I’ll Show You™. 🔥💄 She’s the one who overachieved while bleeding. Smiled with swollen eyes. Handed out forgiveness like pan sobao. Held back tears in the diaper aisle. 🛒🍼 This month was for her . And when the kitchen drama exploded—yo, I was out . The manager came in like a tormenta. Loud. Controlling. Disrespectful. 🚫 I tried. I got up at 4am. Washed the pots. Ate outside to stay grounded. 🧽🥴🌿 But my body said...

Feelings? I Thought We Were Being Efficient.™

Transactional Relationships™ Interpersonal Relationships™ Based on exchanges or benefits Based on emotional connection and mutual care Short-term or situational Long-term and evolving Motivated by “what can I get?” Motivated by “how can we grow together?” Conditional — tied to performance or outcome Unconditional — not dependent on benefits Often impersonal and formal Personal, warm, and authentic Ends when the transaction ends Continues regardless of immediate utility Roles and titles define interaction Individuals matter more than roles Efficiency and output are prioritized Empathy and understanding are prioritized Feedback may be limited or one-sided Open, two-way communication Power dynamics are often present Built on ...

Breaking Spells, Not Spirits™.

What If We’re Not Broken—Just Hiding the Truth? What If We’re Not Broken—Just Hiding the Truth? Sometimes we cry soul tears on waxed floors. 🕯️ You know, the kind of ache that doesn’t come from a stubbed toe or a bad breakup—but the kind that hits the solar plexus when the mirror whispers something raw: “This part of you is still hiding.” I don’t have all the answers. I’m not here to fix, preach, or perform. What I do know is this: we all carry a few “dark truths” that don’t want to stay in the basement anymore. And no— “Dark Doesn’t Mean Broken™.” It might just mean buried. Avoided. Or denied to protect something younger in us that didn’t feel ready. 💬 Sometimes that truth sounds like: – “I pretend I’m fine because I don’t know how to ask for help.” – “I shame myself before anyone else can.” – “I say I don’t care, but I do. Deeply.” Been there. Still go there. And when I do, the shame is loud— pero la sabiduría is louder. That’s what happens when...

From Victim to Visionary™

From Victim to Visionary™ 🧠 From Victim to Visionary™ The Mindset Shift That Changed Everything (con sazón) Let me say this real clear: You can’t glow up spiritually if you’re still giving your power away emotionally. Somewhere between generational trauma and beauty school, I realized something wild: 👉🏽 I was repeating mindsets that didn’t even belong to me. It wasn’t until I sat with my own reflection — like, really sat at a ten day silent retreat — that I realized I’d been trying to heal skin without healing self . That’s why at Spiritual Estheticss™ , we don’t just treat the surface — we break cycles, we reclaim the mirror, and we remember who TF we are. 🪞🔥 Here’s one of the most powerful tools I use with my clients, students, and myself — a side-by-side mindset reframe. From victim to visionary. From passive to powerful. From “Ay bendito” to “No más, gracias.” 🌀 Flip the Script: Mindset Makeover™ 🚫 VICTIM: “It’s not fair!” ✨ VISIONARY: “...

Permission Slips “Soul-Up™

✨ Emotional Permission Slips™ for Families Who Grew Up Without Them 💔🧠🛠️ Because many of us never got the handbook on boundaries, love, or how to feel... and we’re still here, learning. Juntas (together).💫 We grew up with a script: “You have no rights. Just survive, obey, and keep the family looking good.” That was the law in the house. The church. The school. A tripleta (three-hit combo) from hell. 🥵 We performed. We stayed silent. We cleaned up chaos and called it culture. 😔 Church? *Uff.* Taught us to fear stepping out of line. Supposedly, even our cat would go to hell. ⛪️ 🙀💦  Ay bendito (bless our hearts), some of us are still waiting for a bearded man in the clouds to say, “Mi’ja, now you're worthy.” 🧎‍♀️‍➡️ We searched. Hopped religions like buses in Chi-town 🚌 — chasing a God that didn’t punish or shame. Instead we met the Gettcha God™ — a mix of Santa 🎅 and a tyrant dictator 👹. Checks a list. Finds us guilty. Drops lightning and vergüenza ...
