I’ll be honest—I didn’t expect a book to become my nightly ritual. But this one? It’s like a warm cafecito for my soul. I keep it on my nightstand, and flipping through a page or two before bed (or when I wake up groggy) feels like a gentle nudge saying, "Hey, you matter."
The mix of practical tips (think: quick breathwork exercises) and real-talk about systemic struggles hits different. It’s not just bubble baths and affirmations—though those are in there too!—but a raw, empowering toolkit. That chapter on boundary-setting? Game-changer for my people-pleasing tendencies.
That said, I get why some might find the stats-heavy sections intense. I paused at one point thinking, "Wait, is this self-care or a warning label?" But pushing through, I appreciated the balance—like an abuela’s tough love wrapped in a hug. If you crave sunshine-only vibes, maybe skip the heavier bits. But for Latinas craving depth with their self-care? *chef’s kiss*
