Today, I sit down with my good friend Daniela Legarda, a Colombian social media personality who’s been in the spotlight since she was a child. Despite her constant joyful, bubbly energy, Daniela opens up about her experience with navigating grief after the loss of her brother and dealing with anxiety for the first time. Together, we dive deep into the complexity of grief, learning how to balance both pain and happiness and understanding that it’s okay to feel two feelings at once. During the healing process, Daniela felt a pull from God to write a book to help others through grief and how to find strength through gratitude. We also discuss how to find happiness in the present, the power of believing in yourself, and the importance of taking time to heal so you can truly flourish.

In this solo Q&A episode, I dive into your Similarly Curious submissions and share my insights on how to handle the situations at hand. We discuss how to handle growing apart from friends and how to know when it’s time to take a step back. In terms of learning to be more mindful, we talk about the importance of learning to say no to things that don’t serve you. We also explore the nuances of healthy compromise in relationships, how to confront insecurities together, and the importance of creating healthy boundaries. Tune in for my candid and hopefully helpful advice, and don’t forget to send in your voice notes on my Instagram broadcast channel for next week’s episode!

This season, we’re channeling growth—processing the past, taking a moment to breathe, and celebrating how far you’ve come. It’s time to be bold, surround yourself with people who fuel your success, and elevate into the best version of yourself. I’m also excited to introduce Similarly Curious, a segment where I answer your burning questions with advice and fresh perspectives. Get ready to thrive in Season 2!
