You’re Not Lost. You’re Becoming Someone You Haven’t Met Yet.

Written By Adri Rodriguez

This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, we’re talking about what happens when the life you built no longer fits.

In this powerful conversation, Adri is joined by alignment and visibility coach Gina Moreno, founder of Empowermente, to talk about choosing yourself, over and over again. From walking away from engineering to navigating family estrangement and healing from PCOS, Gina shares the non-linear, grief-soaked, intuitive path that brought her back to her voice.

This episode is for the cycle breakers who are in the in-between. The ones doing everything “right” but still feeling disconnected. The ones who are afraid to choose joy because it might disappoint others. The ones who are becoming someone they haven’t met yet.

Together, we talk about:

  • First-gen disillusionment and realizing success didn’t mean fulfillment

  • Burnout, grief, and how the body always tells the truth

  • The spiritual and emotional weight of walking away from a toxic caretaker

  • Rebuilding health and identity after PCOS and burnout

  • How storytelling becomes a tool for healing, rest, and reconnection

  • Working in seasons, embracing rest, and redefining legacy on your own terms

Gina reminds us that healing isn’t always pretty, but it’s always powerful. And that sometimes, the scariest choice — choosing yourself — is the most sacred one.

This is tía wisdom in real time. Tune in when you’re ready to remember who you’re becoming.
