Señorahood: Redefining Adulthood and Embracing Identity

In this conversation, Adri and Lupe dive into their podcast journey and the concept of 'señorahood,' reclaiming and redefining what it means to embrace adulthood with confidence and authenticity. They share reflections on self-acceptance, self-awareness, and how they’ve learned to set boundaries while embracing creativity and play.

Adri and Lupe discuss the challenges of friendships in adulthood, including the need for intentionality and boundaries to maintain healthy, reciprocal relationships. They also explore the role of social media in connecting with others and finding joy in shared interests.

Together, they reflect on the pressures of internalized capitalism and how to navigate self-worth beyond money or recognition. Lupe opens up about her journey of balancing self-care with nurturing a home environment and the importance of embracing change and aging as part of building community and connection.
