We love Meena Harris (best-selling author, founder of Phenomenal Woman's Action Campaign and Kamala Harris' niece!) for her candor, activism, and dope content she puts out into the world. There were too many questions and too little time, but during our convo we did get to hear about what it was like being raised by badass women (and how that's impacting her parenting) and the life lessons she's learned in business and motherhood. This one is not to be missed!

When journalist, Bianca Graulau started researching the situation around private, protected land being sold to big investors, she never imagined the story would become personal, so quickly. But that's exactly what happened when she found out the land behind her house had been sold for the development of luxury convos. She took the story to TikTok and it went VIRAL. In this convo, we talk to Bianca about the situation in PR - why so many investors are flocking to the island, what's going on with the convo around statehood, and we get a little history lesson on how PR got here in the first place.

She shares tips for managing your loans and insight into the steps the government is taking to forgive loans. Let's claim it: this is the year we all take control of our finances.

Safe to say, cannabis is having *quite* a moment in the spotlight. Advocates continue pushing for legalization in more states while dispensaries and growers make their way through existing regulatory red tape. Now, even Mexico has joined the movement. Just this week, the country passed a landmark bill to legalize marijuana. With all that's going on, we thought it was a good time to get the 411 on all things cannabis from an expert in the field: Jazmin Aguiar. Jazmin has years of experience working as a consultant and advocate in the cannabis industry with a specific emphasis on regulation, advocacy, licensing, strategy, and social equity. Tune in as we dissect how our cultural attitudes toward weed and cannabis have changed and why there's a lot to be excited about.

Lilliana Vazquez is an Emmy-award winning host and TV personality. She's got impeccable style and knows the ins and outs of the fashion industry. But it always wasn't that way. Growing up in Texas, Lilliana was a far cry from the glitz and glam of celebrity culture, but through grit, determination, and her fierce spirit - she created a career that she loves. As you're about to hear, there were a lot of No's along the way and her fair share of imposter syndrome, but fortunately, none of that derailed her.
