Hope you girls realize that it’s ok to cry. I hate how much you guys cringe or apologize for crying. It’s natural and it’s ok. You have gone through a huge loss no need to explain yourself to anybody. The real ones get you ❤
I lost my fiancé (boyfriend of 7 years) tragically a little over a year ago. We went out to dinner that night and I will forever cherish that last meal we shared together. We lived around the corner to a liquor store and he was supposed to take a quick walk up there cause he wanted a beer and he never made it back home to me. I told him not to leave too and he wanted to go anyway. He was struck by a car and the car left him there. The doctors told me that if that car would have immediately stopped and called an ambulance, he might have made it. But because they ran away from the scene and left my baby laying there alone, he lost too much oxygen to his brain. I now live my life so differently, you really can lose someone in seconds and you never think these things can happen to you… until they do. Cherish all the time you have with your loved ones, you never know what is going to happen 💔
Thank you Mayra for opening up about your trauma and intrusive thoughts, it’s refreshing to know we’re not alone and we’re all fighting battles silently. ❤️
As a sister I can totally understand Karina. I would hurt and break if my sister thought about her dying soon. And just the thought of not having her breaks my heart.
Mayra if only you knew how much many of us can relate to you at this moment. I wish you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show your feelings! I’m so glad therapy is working for you! I agree with Karina don’t put on a face for anyone! You’ve been through some mad trauma. WE ALL LOVE YOU!! ❤
I’m 30 and I have the exact same anxiety that Mayra is experiencing… I just don’t talk about it because I’m afraid it might come true. Thank you for opening up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Talk about it, it’s so difficult too but let me tell you… it helps so much! I’m 26 and started experiencing that at 24-25, I felt trapped but figured out it was my past traumas… so I spoke about it to my mom, my husband. And speaking to them and letting my emotions out helped so much. I pray for every single one of you, that you may experience true peace and calmness. That y’all have the strength to know you’re stronger and you can speak with your loved ones ❤
This could just be your purpose Mayra. Opening up to the world about the things you’ve been through and being a perfect example of how resilient we can be. You’ve gone through hell and still have it in you to want to help others. You’re using this platform for great things.
Mayra bringing up her trauma about being scared something bad happens, I could relate. Mayra, you sharing your story makes me feel heard. Losing a love one hard and the trauma is difficult. It’s hard to speak it out because ppl assume your weak, but all you need it to be heard. This podcast has help me coping losing my mom. Her birthday is next week and it will be my 4th year without her. No one understands the grief and assume i should be OK. Mayra and Karina thank you!
Love you twins 💗 Can you girls please bring in the Murillo Twins soon? I feel like you guys have lots in common..being twins, Latina’s, influencers! 😊 I would love to see that episode happen!!
Mayra, consider exploring an official mental health diagnosis with your therapist. All of the symptoms and triggers that you are talking about have an official diagnosis and when you are able to put a name to your current emotional and physical state, you will feel like a million bricks of weight came off your shoulders! Thank you so much for being so vulnerable in your journey! I am pretty selective of the people I like to follow and you and your sister embody every single value of what I like to feed my own mind and spirit! Props to Karina for giving you the space and encouragement to share about your journey. I think something interesting to explore for Karina on the podcast is the weight and guilt that comes with having a twin who is struggling with a lot of events that as much as you attempt to understand her point of view, you have never gone through them. Love your podcast, your both doing amazing!
Yes to getting an official diagnosis. I know also that ADHD in women come with a lot of anxiety and depression but their could be so many diagnosis. I can totally relate to Myra with all she is saying. After my dad died unexpectedly everything is an overwhelming worry about any little bad thing happening. Wish I be your friend and vent and cry together , Myra. ! You’re so brave.
Mayra please don’t hold back, let it out girl don’t hold it in. I have so many triggers on and off. I avoid taking my kids to the store because of how many things happen and when I do I always think about where all the exits are. Sometimes I can’t watch movies where there is death because it triggers me. I try to keep as busy as I can because my mind will go wild if I just sit and “relax”
Can I just say that i will always ride for this podcast wether the episodes are sad all the time or happy once in a while. I have never thought to myself that you are miserable, I have always seen Mayra as such a strong person for sharing on the podcast cause she really doesnt have to but that just goes to show how strong/real she is.
I hope you guys know that the vulnerability and realness of this podcast is what makes it my favorite. Mayra talking about her grief and Bryancito gives a lot of us some type of comfort because we know exactly what she is feeling and it makes us not feel alone❤ a baby loss mama over here unfortunately and we love hearing about Bryancito just as much as I love to talk about my baby Ezra in heaven❤❤
I’ve never had anyone describe exactly what goes on in my head. After losing my first daughter while 5 months pregnant, my entire being has changed. I thought this was normal. But seeing Karina react to Mayra’s thoughts makes me realize not everyone’s mind is constantly running like this. Always preparing for something to go wrong. Seeing this now, I think I need to look into therapy as well. Thank you for being vulnerable with us !
The podcast I needed. ⚠️ Was SA'd over a year ago by a friends family member & have lost so many "friends" after I told them, crying telling them what happened. As someone that NEVER cries or tells my business this was extra uncomfortable for me to tell them. Saw so many true ugly colors from these people who I had known for 15 plus years. Hearing Karina angry about the people that don't really care, I can relate girl! Good for Karina for acknowledging, going to someone dealing with trauma about petty shit is weird. Funny how people feel comfortable bringing their petty bs to me but didn't have time to listen when I cried to them. 100% relate to Mayra in the sense that the happy moments feel very temporary & always waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Happy Mayra is talking to a therapist. Proud of you!
I am 110% grateful for you opening up like this. I’ve been struggling with these issues and I literally felt like I was was about to have a complete mental meltdown from trying to convince myself that things are ok. Thank you for this. Words can never describe how much you have helped so many of us with these few words.
Mw da gusto saber que Mayra cuenta con una familia tan bonita que pueda ayudarla a pasar todo esto tan dificil, el podcast de cierta manera siento que la a ayudado a salir adelante a poder llevar todo lo que esta pasando y no quedarse encerrada! se que esto poco a poco le esta ayudando! Dios la recompensara por todo lo que a sufrido
My mom passed in 2021 and even till now I get guilty when I go out and have fun. Everything I do I say “my mom would’ve liked that”. I make myself feel guilty moving on whiteout her. I’ve felt so many emotions listening to this episode that I think I’ve been tugging away. And I just want to say thank you because I just had a good crying session that I did not know I needed.
I know you guys are are sisters and probably talk often because you’re sisters, but I feel like these podcasts actually bring you two even closer! We have a busy daily life and can maybe forget to mention certain things, or wanna stay positive like you mentioned, but girl! These conversations just open up so so much more and we’re here for it and support all of it. You’re definitely not crazy! Just wanna hug you both so so much and you guys make my work day so much better ❤
Awww 29:57, poor Karina. As your sibling she’s going to care, and just the thought of you passing makes all of us sooo sad! I’m glad you spoke about this, because I was feeling the same not too long ago. May god cover us in his glory, and give us perseverance to continue this life loving it out the best we can! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had a high risk pregnancy in 2018, delivery at 25 weeks and the whole hospital stay was a lot but i genuinely don't think i truly processed all that until now, almost 5 years later and my daughter is doing so much better so i think my mind is calming down from having to be in high protection mode and i can feel my mind and behavior finally letting my emotions take over and let me cry over that experience. Mayra encouraged me into seeking therapy thank you girls !
Mayra CRY!! Cry it all out baby girl! We are crying with you! And even tho our struggles are not the same just know I really needed that cry and deep convo with someone today!! We really appreciate your vulnerability on the podcast! It truly has helped me so much! You have helped millions of people by being open! Please don’t be scared to talk about your struggles this is why we love you guys because your so open and so REAL! I totally respect that there are things you want to keep private but just know that the things you do want to share with us we are here for you always! Tears, giggles, chins and allll!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
Same thing happened to me as Mayra. I was so scared of dying or someone close to me dying, I was so anxious for months, it caused me to go into depression for a couple months. It’s such a scary thing, I had scenarios play out in my head of anything that had to do with death. Once you educate yourself about it, it becomes less scary because it’s true, your brain is protecting you. That way of thinking has made me value the time with my family a lot more and has made me love myself so much more because life is such a beautiful experience. So glad Mayra is getting the help she needs from her therapist❤
Yes! Karina. Towards the end what you said. My mom has lost her baby sister who was a stillborn. Then she lost her dad, then lost her sister to cancer, then lost her mom to heart & kidney failure and now her husband (my dad to suicide). She has been through HELL & she is still here trying to keep her head above water. My heart aches for her losses.
My mom passed when I was 3. As a 6/7 year old I used to feel that exact way when my grandma would leave anywhere. I could remember staring outside the window waiting for her to pull up. My young mind would play these scenarios of her dying and me having to go live with an aunt. Like I was preparing myself. I never knew this was trauma, thanks for sharing ❤
Mayra I must admit that you’re story has had a big impact in my life, I’m currently pregnant but I never put your expierence past me . I’ve been super private and grateful every time I leave my doctor appointments . ❤
you guys are right you never know when you are living your prime I remember sitting at my uncles funeral saying I thank God my parents are alive I could never imagine an hour later I get a phone call that my dad passed away. My life has never been the same, I still cry every time I talk about him. When you lose someone you love deeply a part of you dies with them. It's okay for you to cry never hold back your feelings are always valid. listening to Mayras therapy makes me want to give it a try so I can heal I appreciate you sharing
Lovee you guys!! I feel like sometimes Karina internalizes so much to be strong and support Myra.. you girlies are soo strong!! Ofc Myra has gone through so much trauma & glad she’s gotten to a place to see a therapist. Karina you’ve gone through so much too with multiple miscarriages & lost a nephew especially worrying about your twin! I hope you heal too! Also hope you guys can get in a comfortable place to be okay sharing/ showing your emotions/ crying on the pod, we see you, we hear you, we can relate & empathize! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Girl I know how you feel. It's been over 21 years since my son passed from Sid's and even barely now. My friends are apologizing for that time not being there for me because they didn't know what to say or do. They were always just used to me being happy and I get how you were thinking something was going to happen after I lost my son. I had my three girls to keep me going but at the same time I was afraid to let them go anywhere not even with the immediate family cuz I was so scared that something was going to happen again so I know what you're going through. Myra, it's going to take a lot of time and don't be embarrassed or ashamed that you're still going through it. I still get sad after all these years. I love your show. It's kind of therapeutic to me because at that time I didn't have anybody for me and I had to see a therapist too and that's what got me through it also. Much love to you both!
Amazing! I love being a therapist for so many reasons but THIS validates the reason as to why I do it. To provide someone a safe place to process is such a beautiful gift. I grew up in a Latino household where we were not use to talk about our feelings. When I found out about therapy I was mind blown to understand their was a safe place to talk about my emotions and difficulties. I feel grateful that I found this career path and have the HONOR to provide a safe place for so many others. Thank you for being a lighthouse in this storm 💗
Disneyland is my grief therapy. My hubby passed away June 2022 and he loved taking our daughter to Disneyland since she was small. Now me and my 23yr old daughter go together and we forget about all our worries. Disney Adults ❤ here.
Mayra I can’t even begin to explain to you how much I needed this. My aunt passed away she was hit by a drunk driver. My uncle was hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street. My grandfather passed away suddenly with no cause. My father died unexpectedly and my nephew passed away a few days after birth also his death was unexplainable. This all happened before I was the age of 15. Now I am a mom of 3 boys and wife. I am terrified every single day if my husband doesn’t answer the phone or is a little late coming home I’m in full panic mode! I literally cry to send my kids to school and I feel sooo crazy every single day! I’ve asked friends if they ever feel this way and when they say no I feel like something is seriously wrong with me. I don’t know how to overcome my trauma so that I don’t ruin my kids and marriage with the amount of my anxiety. My heart needed this and I cried with you both. Thank you for this! I love you ladies!
I can relate to your anxiety Mayra. I lost my dad on 8.1.2022 to suicide. My family hadn’t dealt with a death since the year 2001, so it was VERY traumatic! Very! Especially to lose my dad the way we did. After I was way to paranoid and I didn’t want my husband to leave for work. I was so scared he wouldn’t come home. I also felt like something was going to happen to me too. I kept thinking I was also going to die. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am on a wait list for a therapist. So I appreciate you sharing this. Karina: also, I get what u were saying about seeing people in a different color. Like me, only about 2 friends of mine reached out to me when I lost my dad. 2!! It’s crazy how I thought the others cared like they said they did but when tragedy hit, they ran!
Love that you felt comfortable enough to open up about your experiences because it's very common. The brain becomes confused after experiencing trauma, especially prolonged trauma and doesn't know how to differentiate when you are in real danger and when you're not. This does cause the fight or flight response to be triggered more often than usual which leads to those anxious feelings and thoughts. You going to therapy to process this all is a great step toward healing. You got this mama!
This episode might be my favorite one yet. You girls are helping so many people by giving them a sense of feeling understood and also just by brightening up our day even for an hour. My heart is always with you Mayra and I pray you queens have many blessings coming your ways! Amen
Don’t apologize for crying queens. Believe me when I say there is nothing cringe about it,we all do it and we all go through these emotions. That’s why I love your podcast, it’s real and raw. Love it ❤
I am SOOOO happy Myra talked about this because this is literally my mindset every day and it was so crazy to hear her explain exactly how I'm think and feel.
It’s the boldness, courage, and strength that Mayra took to have the conversation she did on this episode. A lot of people are going to relate, ik I did through the good and bad! Mayra of you’re reading this just know that I can see the glow up🥰 keep doing what you’re doing !
As the oldest it’s so hard to like open up. IM SUCH AN EMPATH like I cry all the time, a lot of ppl don’t understand it. But this podcast made feel so much better about being a crybaby & it’s ok to feel.
Honestly this Ep. helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. Idk why but depression consumed me last week and I was so sad and unable to show up for myself every day. I thought “people are going thru worse, I shouldn’t feel that way” but you guys made me feel like it’s okay to express myself but I can’t stay there forever. I love y’all sm. Myra, I hope God heals & carries ur heart on the days when you need it most. And that u realize that your emotions are not a burden to those of us who genuinely love you girly. I admire you bc Grief comes in waves and you deserve the space to feel or not feel whenever you need ❤
Can I just say… I appreciate the raw vulnerable moments that this podcast has. Karina made such a good point saying that one hour of bringing the walls down helps many people and I am one of them. I, too, have to put up a happy mask when I’m at work around others because like Mayra said, I don’t want to bring the mood down so essentially this podcast gives me the space to cry and relate with someone who also lost their son. 😢 holidays are hard but daily lives seeing other people live their lives is even harder. I appreciate these moments so much please don’t ever stop especially as you guys know people either 1) never reach out or 2) stop reaching out. I try to he understanding of others but most people won’t go out of their way to research how to be there for a friend but they’re quick to look up celebrity facts, etc. I’m over the excuses because it hurts. Mayra, losing a son changes you for life and I’m barley in my 2nd year in after losing Alan (6 y/o) to murder. Regardless of how you lose your loved one, human or animal, it scars you for ever and can nobody ever tell you how to feel unless they’re in your shoes. Edit: Mayra, I also experience PTSD after my loss. I always feel like I’m next. You’re not alone.
Thank y’all for the podcast!!! Mayra definitely helped me with what she was experiencing and what her therapist told her left me at peace because now I know why it also happens to me🖤
I love the grief, tears, feelings you share Mayra. I connect a lot with you, I’ve had a miscarriage and loss my son at 22 weeks gestation. You should consider a podcast for you about pregnancy loss/infant loss.
This is the most honest genuinely beautiful episode. I really appreciate you Myra for opening up about how you’ve been and I’m sorry you’ve been feeling that way. I’m so happy your talking it out in therapy. I love you guys and wish you all the best
Thank you for being so honest. Mayra, you’ve been helping me on my own grief journey which is so crazy because I feel like every time you’ve said anything about your own journey, it’s exactly what I’ve been struggling with. God is so good ❤️
Intrusive thoughts and guilt are so real, especially after trauma. I'm glad you finally reached out and are receiving therapy! I just started a few weeks ago and it's a big relief. 💖
I just want to say thank you so much for your podcasts!! I’m currently on an eight month deployment and everytime I get service I download your podcasts and listen to them in the middle of the ocean ❤️ thank you for making me laugh and cheering me up during this hard time 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I appreciate y’all taking that back because we are all learning and seeing it in a different perspective. We never know what people have gone through. We all have a past and we are all still learning. Traumas are real and sometimes be don’t even realize we have them until we are faced with it.
Trips to Disney are not an everyday thing for most people. I took my boys a few years ago & I had to save & plan for almost a full year. As a single momma I cried as we were walking in cause everything I had to do for this moment was so worth it. I can’t wait to go back.
Y’all definitely got me crying at the end of this episode. We lost my daughters farther in October. I still am struggling with it feeling real and one day I’m going to wake up and everything will go back to normal. I’ve been struggling to get some grief counseling got my daughter and myself. It’s hard to talk about and y’all sharing your life really helps not feeling alone. Thank you queens♥️♥️
Mayra ❤! I want to tell you that I really appreciate you being so brave and talking about your feelings. Your emotions are raw and true and I can relate so fcking much. Yesterday I had a panic attack and it was an awful experience I was shaky and my heart was beating uncontrollably fast & my mind was preparing me to go. I thought I was going to pass away and all I could do was just sit there. It took me about 2 hours to come back to normal. Today I woke up still out of it and I just wanted to catch up on the podcast and I’m so glad I did. You are not alone in your struggles. We have different traumas but our bodies still react the same. We aren’t crazy, we are hurt.. trying to heal. Please don’t ever feel embarrassed to speak your truth, you are a vessel to help others in their healing while also trying to heal yourself. Thank you for making me feel like i’m not alone in my feelings. I love you both so much!
I totally understand you Mayra! How you put a happy face on. My cousin was killed 1/14/23 and I’m trying to be strong since I’m the strong one but some days/moments I’m dying inside. And how you feel things will go wrong.. I’m so scared to lose another close family member or friend. Thank you for sharing cause I really felt I was the only one that felt this way. ❤
Someone that I knew past away a few years ago and I feel like by me going to the funeral and seeing that person in the casket triggered my anxiety. After that I would always wake up and think it was my last day or one of my family members cause I truly believed that I or someone was going to die. I was depressed and miserable but I never showed it or talked to anyone about it because I didn’t want them thinking I was crazy. I was tired of having that feeling everyday and it got to the point where I didn’t even wanna wake up because I knew that the next day I was going to wake up and have that same thought. Thank god I don’t think that way anymore but now that you talked about that, it made me feel even more secure and a relief that I wasn’t going crazy.
Thank you for opening up Mayra it’s ok to cry, they say when you feel like crying it’s better to release it their at that moment cause it just makes you think and think more about what you were thinking! I lost my mom 9yrs ago and I hadn’t see her for about 3-5 days and it hurts me so much she got struck by a drunk driver when she was driving back home. It hurts me so much I was only 19 and had just gave birth to now my 9yr old but at that time she was only 2 months old I went through the scariest postpartum depression and at that time I had 5 younger siblings that I had to take care of till this day I think about something bad is going to happen when my siblings my husband even myself are driving I feel like someone is going to hit us! I’m so sorry I can imagine what ur feeling I will keep you in my prayers I love you guys so much and love your podcast, again release when ur crying it’s normal to cry, I cry with you guys!
I have been living with trauma for over 20 years and everyday in fear that something bad is going to happen to my husband. And listening to y’all make me feel better. Everyone judged me when I try to saying something about it. 💔
this is probably one of my favorite episodes (i love them all) but this episode i needed to hear so much. i recently lost my close cousin and hesitated on clicking on this weeks episode because i was scared it was gonna be hard to hear about traumas but everything you guys said about seeing peoples true colors and how people can be selfish is so true because im currently experiencing it right now. im so lucky to have a few girlfriends who check on me daily and make up for the rest. thank you girls for being so open and talking about these things it truly is helping so many of us going through the same. im also currently experiencing the fear mayra says about something bad going to happen so its nice to know its my brains way of coping with my recent traumas. love you girls and wishing nothing but healing for all of us this year 🤍
I had a traumatic situation that left me so anxious and I also had really bad intrusive thoughts, it makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only one going through this . I might start looking for therapy now . Thank you Mayra for speaking about it
Normalize not being ok. This conversation made me realize I have death anxiety really bad too, but it’s hard to express that to other people because they will reassure you and tell you it’s ok, but tell that to my head you know. Feel your feeling queens for however long because I’ve been struggling since 2011 and my cousin never came home. Sometimes you just need to talk about it and cry whenever you can with the people who care!
This episode is one of the reasons why this is my favorite podcast. So raw, uncut & vulnerable which makes it relatable to your everyday people, I loved it. Definitely, was one of my favorite episodes. Love you queens!!!
Wow!!!! Girl you have no idea how much i needed this!!!!!! Two years agomy brother was moving states with his family when his wife got into a accident and unfortunately they lost their daughter who was a month away from turning 4 years old …. She didnt make it pass 48 hours since the accident when she passed away …i had just delivered my son less than two weeks before……iv found so many similarities between the son i had and the niece i lost iv caught myself going into a dark space grieving my brothers loss .. his only daughter of 3 …i tell myself my brother will never be the same and it’s beyond emotional just thinking about it ! YOU ARE BEYOND SPECIAL FOR BRINGING THIS TO US I NEEDED THIS SOO BAD TO KNOW IM NOT CRAZY OR IN MY HEAD ….i cry at the thought that i know my brother dosnt want to live because even though he’s never said it I know there must be alot he dosnt want to share
This is something I am experiencing and Mayra is the reason why I watch this podcast. I can relate so much with her and Karina is so supportive just like my sister. Thank you ladies for being so open and transparent.🙏🏼
Mayra and Karina thank you for everything you do. I’m only 20 but through your podcast I learn so much about life about mental health you’re the older sisters I’ve never had since I’m the oldest in my family You’re both so inspirational You both speak on things I wish others could too like the good heavy cries that happened after bottling up I’m rooting for both of you 🌸🥹💖❤️❤️
I love hearing Mayra talk about her feelings and pour her heart out. It makes me feel like we’re actually friends and I’m hearing my friend vent her feelings and be there for her even if it’s from a distance! I love it because I can see that she’s slowly healing and you’ve come such a long way. A year ago today you wouldn’t have been able to share your feelings this way and all of us are standing on the sidelines cheering for you girlie, we love you so much! chins & giggles and occasional tears lol we love it here ✨
I felt that it feels like so wrong to because you wanna be happy but your mind just sits in sadness 😢 you got this Mayra!! Spread all the awareness because people who come across this channel will always appreciate it! ❤
Omggg thank you so much Mayra for opening up. Like seriously what you are mentally battling with on a daily basis is exactly what I’ve been battling with for a year. You are really helping me with my mental health. You make me feel like I’m not alone 😣
Mayra you’re not alone! I’ve gone through pretty traumatic events these last 3 years and I’ve been going through this with anxiety and it was hard to explain how I felt you said it perfectly I thought I was going crazy too
Mayra, It’s so beautiful how you have taken us on your healing journey. Thank you for your vulnerability and for continuing to help others with your experiences. I know your son would be so proud of you knowing his mommy is healing and at the same time helping others. Karina, you have done a beautiful job supporting your sister and making it a safe place for your sister to open up about her challenges. What a blessing you are and a beautiful example of a loving and supportive family member.
I ain’t watching the podcast while doing my makeup no more … I’m literally crying while doing my makeup. Mayra you are so strong! Karina I love you giving afirmación words to your sis !
I love how real you both are. This podcast has helped me. I look forward to every Friday not to go out and drink and party but to see you girls and spend time with you.
Your podcast helped me through my depression after miscarriage and even after having my rainbow baby i got really bad PPD from how traumatic my labor was. You two have no idea how much comfort i find in your podcast and in everything you talk about!
Wow!!!! Honestly thank you for the inside. This was great information, now I completely understand why I am constantly trying to prevent things from happening. This episode helped me understand myself and why I am in constant prevention mode. Trauma is insane. Girls it’s okay to cry, it’s the souls cleansing itself. Release all that energy, don’t hold it in.
I can relate to you Girls so much when it comes to being a woman who lives with anxiety that’s the aftermath of trauma and also the empathy that I feel seeing these terrible things happen around the world. Thank you guys for covering these topics and keeping it real!! That’s why I love your podcast
i had a miscarriage a year ago and to this day i still have my moment where i think how would it be if my baby was here, and when you said it’s not like you’re miserable everyday you’ll be happy but in the back of your head it’s still there it was really well said when you said it and shed a couple tears with you, thank you for opening up 🤍
You guys need to know even if you talk about real life things, you guys are still making us happy and bringing our moods up. Because sometimes we have the same feelings but we don’t talk to anyone about it so knowing how you guys really feel is relatable that brings us up and makes us feel better ❤️❤️ I love you guys and I love everything you talk about no matter what is is.
Mayra; every podcast I feel more connected to you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I thought I was going crazy thinking about something happening to my husband or a family member. THANK YOU SO MUCH🥹 I needed to hear that. Sending you a big hug.
Mayra I literally have been dealing with this feeling and anxiety for 2 years now. It’s really scary man, it’s definitely something that stops you from being yourself to your best potential. Listening to others having similar mental blocks, makes me feel less alone and better about my situation. The world we live in, and all of what’s been going on only adds to our brains chaos, but know that you’re not alone. And letting others know about it makes you feel better. I know it’s helped me out, the reassurance from something other than my own brain is so helpful. DONT APOLOGIZE FOR CRYING. You’re helping me out too😢💗
Guys, I’m such a fan! I love every episode but this hit me so hard! Mayra I went through 2 miscarriages nothing compared to you but it’s still grief and ever since I felt like I was slowly dying… & I haven’t said a thing about it. I tend to shut down yet again you made me realize I AM NOT LOOSING IT. It’s my brain after all my trauma 🥺 thank you for always being REAL! ❤️ you’ve helped at least 1 person by sharing and being real.
This episode helped me soooo much, I recently lost my grandma and I am heart broken. when Maya said everyday she has to put up a happy face… I literally started crying, I cannot imagine your pain, I have kids and I would give my life for them so listening to you say that was heartbreaking, I am so sorry Mayra, i am sending you the biggest hug and know we all love you.
Karina and Mayra...I relate to you both soo much! I am twin too. People do not understand twin magic.. I see it so much in you two. Dont hide your feelings from anyone.. especially one another. Your openness and vulnerability with each other is a superpower and a gift in life! Always remember that, and embrace it.
It’s so ok to cry thank y’all for wearing your heart on your sleeve cause I am that way too. After my mom passed away in a car accident. I’ve felt so much of what Mayra talks about. I go through the same thing with my husband. I prefer to stay home 100% rather then go out or even in public places I’m afraid that a shooter will come at any moment and though I get I shouldn’t live my life in fear it’s a part of the grief that I’ve had to deal with after loosing my mom the way I did. Before that I never really ever thought about it. After loosing Someone you look at life so much different. I feel like I live my life with so much more purpose now. When I can talk about it I always do because just like Mayra talking about her grief helps me I’ve learned that speaking about grief shouldn’t always be sad but more of a learning lesson for yourself and everyone around you. Like y’all said tomorrow is not guaranteed so remembering or reminding people to live life with no regrets is a super power we must use the time we still have to help others and continue to live life the best way you can.
You just made me realize I’m not the only one who felt like me Myra…I’m thankful for sharing your vulnerability. You’re not alone and believe me, talking to loved ones about how you feel will feel 100% better and who cares about what people think… please do not stop sharing💖 YOU are making a difference even if it’s just one person. I love you girls so much keep up the amazing content🌸🌸🌸
Thank you so much for being so open Mayra! ❤ I struggled with anxiety and depression for two years after finding out my son is autistic two weeks before I went into labor with my baby girl! I would think I was going insane and that people would think I was loosing it! Until I finally accepted that I needed the help and I just needed someone to sit and listen to me without judging me! This is absolute therapy to sit here and listen to someone that I can relate to! I’m so proud of you girly keep pushing mama ❤❤❤❤
Girl, thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I am dealing with a different type of grief but I relate to all you say. I grieve my old life. Yes I have happy moments but it’s always in the back of my mind. De el fondo de mi corazón te deseo to do lo bonito del mundo. I’m glad you exist.
Thank you Mayra for being transparent with us, I suffer from mental health issues. And also recently started going to therapy and began taking vitamins for my brain. We’re in our self healing journey. I’m also a very emotional intuitive person😢 thank you for being relatable , makes me feel like I’m not alone. I love you guys sm. I want u to know I enjoy the crying moments, the laughing moments and even the serious moments of this podcast ❤❤❤
my mom and I were my grandmother's caregiver for the last 5 years of her life. It was the hardest thing I ever had to endure, and after her passing in 2021, I am now noticing the trauma in my day to day life. I too get that anxiety feeling when my husband goes out of the house. I get those "death is coming soon" thoughts too. Thank you for sharing this, it makes sense to me now and I feel a sense of peace knowing I am not alone and that it's normal for my brain to think this way based on my past traumatic events.
Thank you mayra and karina for your vulnerability! I love being honest and open too especially in regards to my trauma and mental health struggles but I also feel like it can tire ppl out and I always feel like I’m over sharing but this is real life. Thank you for being raw because it makes me feeel less alone
Hello queens, man this episode really got to me hearing Mayra talk about how she’s been scared when Brain leaves the house or how she feels she was going to die soon man that hurt me for her. I seen the pain she’s going through and how she’s trying her best to be ok and go on. Living with grief is the worst cause its a pain that will never go away and like Mayra says we cant talk about our grief all the time cause no one understands that pain only if u’re going through it. I love you queens cause u’s are so real and humble I love that about u’s please keep being that way and never change. I pray for you and ur family may God give the strength u’s need to keep pushing forward and know its ok to feel what u’re feeling. Thanks for talking about it cause I’m going through grief and just hearing someone talk about it thats knows how I’m feeling helps thank you.
I honestly feel so blessed to be able to watch/listen to you guys and relate. no matter how bad my day is you guys never fail to make my day 100% better and make me forget about everything else. you guys word everything so perfectly that make so much sense and make me feel heard!! i’m forever grateful for you two and your family, so comforting 🥹❤
I love laughing & crying along with you guys! Don't ever feel ashamed of making us cry along. It's very therapeutic & not everything is flowers & rainbows. Life is real & life is hard, but that's what makes the good times that much more special 🖤🖤
Hope you girls realize that it’s ok to cry. I hate how much you guys cringe or apologize for crying. It’s natural and it’s ok. You have gone through a huge loss no need to explain yourself to anybody. The real ones get you ❤
YESSSSS
Amen
Factsss
Yesss
PERIOD!
Karina crying for her made me cry she loves and cares so much and wants to heal her sister 🥲 mayra thank you so much for talking about this
I lost my fiancé (boyfriend of 7 years) tragically a little over a year ago. We went out to dinner that night and I will forever cherish that last meal we shared together. We lived around the corner to a liquor store and he was supposed to take a quick walk up there cause he wanted a beer and he never made it back home to me. I told him not to leave too and he wanted to go anyway. He was struck by a car and the car left him there. The doctors told me that if that car would have immediately stopped and called an ambulance, he might have made it. But because they ran away from the scene and left my baby laying there alone, he lost too much oxygen to his brain. I now live my life so differently, you really can lose someone in seconds and you never think these things can happen to you… until they do. Cherish all the time you have with your loved ones, you never know what is going to happen 💔
Omg bby girl, im so sorry for you. Thats heartbreaking ;C. You're so strong.
I’m so sorry for your loss 😢💔May he RIp 🙏🏻
😢😢🙏🙏 you’re so strong
Aww this breaks my heart!! Whenever my man wants to go out alone at night I get so paranoid 😢
So sorry for your loss!! Did the find the person who did it? I sure hope so!
My heart. Mayra for people that don’t have access to therapist, the information about traumatic intrusive thoughts is so valuable.
Yes 100%!
Thank you Mayra for opening up about your trauma and intrusive thoughts, it’s refreshing to know we’re not alone and we’re all fighting battles silently. ❤️
Pk😂❤❤❤im
Oo😊mmo
As a sister I can totally understand Karina. I would hurt and break if my sister thought about her dying soon. And just the thought of not having her breaks my heart.
Mayra if only you knew how much many of us can relate to you at this moment. I wish you wouldn’t be embarrassed to show your feelings! I’m so glad therapy is working for you! I agree with Karina don’t put on a face for anyone! You’ve been through some mad trauma. WE ALL LOVE YOU!! ❤
I’m 30 and I have the exact same anxiety that Mayra is experiencing… I just don’t talk about it because I’m afraid it might come true. Thank you for opening up 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ugh I’m the same way😭😭 feels like this anxiety is eating me up💔
I feel this 😢
Same 😅
Yes me too. When I feel happy I’m scared that something bad is going to happen because life can’t be this good 🥺
Talk about it, it’s so difficult too but let me tell you… it helps so much!
I’m 26 and started experiencing that at 24-25, I felt trapped but figured out it was my past traumas… so I spoke about it to my mom, my husband. And speaking to them and letting my emotions out helped so much. I pray for every single one of you, that you may experience true peace and calmness. That y’all have the strength to know you’re stronger and you can speak with your loved ones ❤
This could just be your purpose Mayra. Opening up to the world about the things you’ve been through and being a perfect example of how resilient we can be. You’ve gone through hell and still have it in you to want to help others. You’re using this platform for great things.
Mayra bringing up her trauma about being scared something bad happens, I could relate. Mayra, you sharing your story makes me feel heard. Losing a love one hard and the trauma is difficult. It’s hard to speak it out because ppl assume your weak, but all you need it to be heard. This podcast has help me coping losing my mom. Her birthday is next week and it will be my 4th year without her. No one understands the grief and assume i should be OK.
Mayra and Karina thank you!
Love you twins 💗 Can you girls please bring in the Murillo Twins soon? I feel like you guys have lots in common..being twins, Latina’s, influencers! 😊 I would love to see that episode happen!!
I would love!!!!
Yessss!!!!!
Yes I’ve been saying for so many years that they need to do a Collab video together. Even a carne asada ❤
Mayra, consider exploring an official mental health diagnosis with your therapist. All of the symptoms and triggers that you are talking about have an official diagnosis and when you are able to put a name to your current emotional and physical state, you will feel like a million bricks of weight came off your shoulders! Thank you so much for being so vulnerable in your journey! I am pretty selective of the people I like to follow and you and your sister embody every single value of what I like to feed my own mind and spirit! Props to Karina for giving you the space and encouragement to share about your journey. I think something interesting to explore for Karina on the podcast is the weight and guilt that comes with having a twin who is struggling with a lot of events that as much as you attempt to understand her point of view, you have never gone through them. Love your podcast, your both doing amazing!
Yes to getting an official diagnosis. I know also that ADHD in women come with a lot of anxiety and depression but their could be so many diagnosis.
I can totally relate to Myra with all she is saying.
After my dad died unexpectedly everything is an overwhelming worry about any little bad thing happening.
Wish I be your friend and vent and cry together , Myra. ! You’re so brave.
Mayra please don’t hold back, let it out girl don’t hold it in. I have so many triggers on and off. I avoid taking my kids to the store because of how many things happen and when I do I always think about where all the exits are. Sometimes I can’t watch movies where there is death because it triggers me. I try to keep as busy as I can because my mind will go wild if I just sit and “relax”
Can I just say that i will always ride for this podcast wether the episodes are sad all the time or happy once in a while. I have never thought to myself that you are miserable, I have always seen Mayra as such a strong person for sharing on the podcast cause she really doesnt have to but that just goes to show how strong/real she is.
I hope you guys know that the vulnerability and realness of this podcast is what makes it my favorite. Mayra talking about her grief and Bryancito gives a lot of us some type of comfort because we know exactly what she is feeling and it makes us not feel alone❤ a baby loss mama over here unfortunately and we love hearing about Bryancito just as much as I love to talk about my baby Ezra in heaven❤❤
I’ve never had anyone describe exactly what goes on in my head. After losing my first daughter while 5 months pregnant, my entire being has changed. I thought this was normal. But seeing Karina react to Mayra’s thoughts makes me realize not everyone’s mind is constantly running like this. Always preparing for something to go wrong. Seeing this now, I think I need to look into therapy as well. Thank you for being vulnerable with us !
The podcast I needed. ⚠️ Was SA'd over a year ago by a friends family member & have lost so many "friends" after I told them, crying telling them what happened. As someone that NEVER cries or tells my business this was extra uncomfortable for me to tell them. Saw so many true ugly colors from these people who I had known for 15 plus years. Hearing Karina angry about the people that don't really care, I can relate girl! Good for Karina for acknowledging, going to someone dealing with trauma about petty shit is weird. Funny how people feel comfortable bringing their petty bs to me but didn't have time to listen when I cried to them. 100% relate to Mayra in the sense that the happy moments feel very temporary & always waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Happy Mayra is talking to a therapist. Proud of you!
Mayra, thank you so much for being vulnerable and transparent. We don't mind the crying. Love you both!
Their humor literally kills me the chickens clocking in made me burst out laughing 21:04
Right 🤣🤣 Omg “idk girl I just know they don’t clock in” 💀💀 I love this podcast so much makes me happy 🫶🏼
PLSS LMFAO she had me dyinggg
I am 110% grateful for you opening up like this. I’ve been struggling with these issues and I literally felt like I was was about to have a complete mental meltdown from trying to convince myself that things are ok. Thank you for this. Words can never describe how much you have helped so many of us with these few words.
Mw da gusto saber que Mayra cuenta con una familia tan bonita que pueda ayudarla a pasar todo esto tan dificil, el podcast de cierta manera siento que la a ayudado a salir adelante a poder llevar todo lo que esta pasando y no quedarse encerrada! se que esto poco a poco le esta ayudando! Dios la recompensara por todo lo que a sufrido
My mom passed in 2021 and even till now I get guilty when I go out and have fun. Everything I do I say “my mom would’ve liked that”. I make myself feel guilty moving on whiteout her. I’ve felt so many emotions listening to this episode that I think I’ve been tugging away. And I just want to say thank you because I just had a good crying session that I did not know I needed.
I know you guys are are sisters and probably talk often because you’re sisters, but I feel like these podcasts actually bring you two even closer! We have a busy daily life and can maybe forget to mention certain things, or wanna stay positive like you mentioned, but girl! These conversations just open up so so much more and we’re here for it and support all of it. You’re definitely not crazy! Just wanna hug you both so so much and you guys make my work day so much better ❤
Awww 29:57, poor Karina. As your sibling she’s going to care, and just the thought of you passing makes all of us sooo sad! I’m glad you spoke about this, because I was feeling the same not too long ago. May god cover us in his glory, and give us perseverance to continue this life loving it out the best we can! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I had a high risk pregnancy in 2018, delivery at 25 weeks and the whole hospital stay was a lot but i genuinely don't think i truly processed all that until now, almost 5 years later and my daughter is doing so much better so i think my mind is calming down from having to be in high protection mode and i can feel my mind and behavior finally letting my emotions take over and let me cry over that experience. Mayra encouraged me into seeking therapy thank you girls !
Mayra CRY!! Cry it all out baby girl! We are crying with you! And even tho our struggles are not the same just know I really needed that cry and deep convo with someone today!! We really appreciate your vulnerability on the podcast! It truly has helped me so much! You have helped millions of people by being open! Please don’t be scared to talk about your struggles this is why we love you guys because your so open and so REAL! I totally respect that there are things you want to keep private but just know that the things you do want to share with us we are here for you always! Tears, giggles, chins and allll!! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼
karina saying her starbucks order had me thinking about her telling her instagram how many calories it had. she was SHOCKED.
Same thing happened to me as Mayra. I was so scared of dying or someone close to me dying, I was so anxious for months, it caused me to go into depression for a couple months. It’s such a scary thing, I had scenarios play out in my head of anything that had to do with death. Once you educate yourself about it, it becomes less scary because it’s true, your brain is protecting you. That way of thinking has made me value the time with my family a lot more and has made me love myself so much more because life is such a beautiful experience. So glad Mayra is getting the help she needs from her therapist❤
Yes! Karina. Towards the end what you said. My mom has lost her baby sister who was a stillborn. Then she lost her dad, then lost her sister to cancer, then lost her mom to heart & kidney failure and now her husband (my dad to suicide). She has been through HELL & she is still here trying to keep her head above water. My heart aches for her losses.
My mom passed when I was 3. As a 6/7 year old I used to feel that exact way when my grandma would leave anywhere. I could remember staring outside the window waiting for her to pull up. My young mind would play these scenarios of her dying and me having to go live with an aunt. Like I was preparing myself. I never knew this was trauma, thanks for sharing ❤
Mayra I must admit that you’re story has had a big impact in my life, I’m currently pregnant but I never put your expierence past me . I’ve been super private and grateful every time I leave my doctor appointments . ❤
you guys are right you never know when you are living your prime I remember sitting at my uncles funeral saying I thank God my parents are alive I could never imagine an hour later I get a phone call that my dad passed away. My life has never been the same, I still cry every time I talk about him. When you lose someone you love deeply a part of you dies with them. It's okay for you to cry never hold back your feelings are always valid. listening to Mayras therapy makes me want to give it a try so I can heal I appreciate you sharing
Lovee you guys!! I feel like sometimes Karina internalizes so much to be strong and support Myra.. you girlies are soo strong!! Ofc Myra has gone through so much trauma & glad she’s gotten to a place to see a therapist. Karina you’ve gone through so much too with multiple miscarriages & lost a nephew especially worrying about your twin! I hope you heal too! Also hope you guys can get in a comfortable place to be okay sharing/ showing your emotions/ crying on the pod, we see you, we hear you, we can relate & empathize! 🤍🤍🤍🤍
Girl I know how you feel. It's been over 21 years since my son passed from Sid's and even barely now. My friends are apologizing for that time not being there for me because they didn't know what to say or do. They were always just used to me being happy and I get how you were thinking something was going to happen after I lost my son. I had my three girls to keep me going but at the same time I was afraid to let them go anywhere not even with the immediate family cuz I was so scared that something was going to happen again so I know what you're going through. Myra, it's going to take a lot of time and don't be embarrassed or ashamed that you're still going through it. I still get sad after all these years. I love your show. It's kind of therapeutic to me because at that time I didn't have anybody for me and I had to see a therapist too and that's what got me through it also. Much love to you both!
Amazing! I love being a therapist for so many reasons but THIS validates the reason as to why I do it. To provide someone a safe place to process is such a beautiful gift. I grew up in a Latino household where we were not use to talk about our feelings. When I found out about therapy I was mind blown to understand their was a safe place to talk about my emotions and difficulties. I feel grateful that I found this career path and have the HONOR to provide a safe place for so many others. Thank you for being a lighthouse in this storm 💗
Disneyland is my grief therapy. My hubby passed away June 2022 and he loved taking our daughter to Disneyland since she was small. Now me and my 23yr old daughter go together and we forget about all our worries. Disney Adults ❤ here.
Mayra I can’t even begin to explain to you how much I needed this. My aunt passed away she was hit by a drunk driver. My uncle was hit by a drunk driver while crossing the street. My grandfather passed away suddenly with no cause. My father died unexpectedly and my nephew passed away a few days after birth also his death was unexplainable. This all happened before I was the age of 15. Now I am a mom of 3 boys and wife. I am terrified every single day if my husband doesn’t answer the phone or is a little late coming home I’m in full panic mode! I literally cry to send my kids to school and I feel sooo crazy every single day! I’ve asked friends if they ever feel this way and when they say no I feel like something is seriously wrong with me. I don’t know how to overcome my trauma so that I don’t ruin my kids and marriage with the amount of my anxiety.
My heart needed this and I cried with you both. Thank you for this! I love you ladies!
I can relate to your anxiety Mayra. I lost my dad on 8.1.2022 to suicide. My family hadn’t dealt with a death since the year 2001, so it was VERY traumatic! Very! Especially to lose my dad the way we did. After I was way to paranoid and I didn’t want my husband to leave for work. I was so scared he wouldn’t come home. I also felt like something was going to happen to me too. I kept thinking I was also going to die. Thank you for sharing. I appreciate it. Unfortunately, I am on a wait list for a therapist. So I appreciate you sharing this.
Karina: also, I get what u were saying about seeing people in a different color. Like me, only about 2 friends of mine reached out to me when I lost my dad. 2!! It’s crazy how I thought the others cared like they said they did but when tragedy hit, they ran!
I understand how mayra feels with the anxiety and im so glad she talked about it❤
Love that you felt comfortable enough to open up about your experiences because it's very common. The brain becomes confused after experiencing trauma, especially prolonged trauma and doesn't know how to differentiate when you are in real danger and when you're not. This does cause the fight or flight response to be triggered more often than usual which leads to those anxious feelings and thoughts. You going to therapy to process this all is a great step toward healing. You got this mama!
This episode might be my favorite one yet. You girls are helping so many people by giving them a sense of feeling understood and also just by brightening up our day even for an hour. My heart is always with you Mayra and I pray you queens have many blessings coming your ways! Amen
Mayra is so genuine..
I love her. God heal her with the holy spirit
Amen!
Don’t apologize for crying queens. Believe me when I say there is nothing cringe about it,we all do it and we all go through these emotions. That’s why I love your podcast, it’s real and raw. Love it ❤
I am SOOOO happy Myra talked about this because this is literally my mindset every day and it was so crazy to hear her explain exactly how I'm think and feel.
It’s the boldness, courage, and strength that Mayra took to have the conversation she did on this episode. A lot of people are going to relate, ik I did through the good and bad! Mayra of you’re reading this just know that I can see the glow up🥰 keep doing what you’re doing !
As the oldest it’s so hard to like open up. IM SUCH AN EMPATH like I cry all the time, a lot of ppl don’t understand it. But this podcast made feel so much better about being a crybaby & it’s ok to feel.
Honestly this Ep. helped me feel like I wasn’t alone. Idk why but depression consumed me last week and I was so sad and unable to show up for myself every day. I thought “people are going thru worse, I shouldn’t feel that way” but you guys made me feel like it’s okay to express myself but I can’t stay there forever. I love y’all sm. Myra, I hope God heals & carries ur heart on the days when you need it most. And that u realize that your emotions are not a burden to those of us who genuinely love you girly. I admire you bc Grief comes in waves and you deserve the space to feel or not feel whenever you need ❤
Can I just say… I appreciate the raw vulnerable moments that this podcast has. Karina made such a good point saying that one hour of bringing the walls down helps many people and I am one of them. I, too, have to put up a happy mask when I’m at work around others because like Mayra said, I don’t want to bring the mood down so essentially this podcast gives me the space to cry and relate with someone who also lost their son. 😢 holidays are hard but daily lives seeing other people live their lives is even harder. I appreciate these moments so much please don’t ever stop especially as you guys know people either 1) never reach out or 2) stop reaching out. I try to he understanding of others but most people won’t go out of their way to research how to be there for a friend but they’re quick to look up celebrity facts, etc. I’m over the excuses because it hurts.
Mayra, losing a son changes you for life and I’m barley in my 2nd year in after losing Alan (6 y/o) to murder. Regardless of how you lose your loved one, human or animal, it scars you for ever and can nobody ever tell you how to feel unless they’re in your shoes.
Edit: Mayra, I also experience PTSD after my loss. I always feel like I’m next. You’re not alone.
Thank y’all for the podcast!!! Mayra definitely helped me with what she was experiencing and what her therapist told her left me at peace because now I know why it also happens to me🖤
I love the grief, tears, feelings you share Mayra. I connect a lot with you, I’ve had a miscarriage and loss my son at 22 weeks gestation. You should consider a podcast for you about pregnancy loss/infant loss.
This is the most honest genuinely beautiful episode. I really appreciate you Myra for opening up about how you’ve been and I’m sorry you’ve been feeling that way. I’m so happy your talking it out in therapy. I love you guys and wish you all the best
Thank you for being so honest. Mayra, you’ve been helping me on my own grief journey which is so crazy because I feel like every time you’ve said anything about your own journey, it’s exactly what I’ve been struggling with. God is so good ❤️
Intrusive thoughts and guilt are so real, especially after trauma. I'm glad you finally reached out and are receiving therapy! I just started a few weeks ago and it's a big relief. 💖
I just want to say thank you so much for your podcasts!! I’m currently on an eight month deployment and everytime I get service I download your podcasts and listen to them in the middle of the ocean ❤️ thank you for making me laugh and cheering me up during this hard time 🤍🤍🤍🤍
I appreciate y’all taking that back because we are all learning and seeing it in a different perspective. We never know what people have gone through. We all have a past and we are all still learning. Traumas are real and sometimes be don’t even realize we have them until we are faced with it.
Trips to Disney are not an everyday thing for most people. I took my boys a few years ago & I had to save & plan for almost a full year. As a single momma I cried as we were walking in cause everything I had to do for this moment was so worth it. I can’t wait to go back.
Y’all definitely got me crying at the end of this episode. We lost my daughters farther in October. I still am struggling with it feeling real and one day I’m going to wake up and everything will go back to normal. I’ve been struggling to get some grief counseling got my daughter and myself. It’s hard to talk about and y’all sharing your life really helps not feeling alone. Thank you queens♥️♥️
Mayra ❤! I want to tell you that I really appreciate you being so brave and talking about your feelings. Your emotions are raw and true and I can relate so fcking much. Yesterday I had a panic attack and it was an awful experience I was shaky and my heart was beating uncontrollably fast & my mind was preparing me to go. I thought I was going to pass away and all I could do was just sit there. It took me about 2 hours to come back to normal. Today I woke up still out of it and I just wanted to catch up on the podcast and I’m so glad I did. You are not alone in your struggles. We have different traumas but our bodies still react the same. We aren’t crazy, we are hurt.. trying to heal. Please don’t ever feel embarrassed to speak your truth, you are a vessel to help others in their healing while also trying to heal yourself. Thank you for making me feel like i’m not alone in my feelings. I love you both so much!
I totally understand you Mayra! How you put a happy face on. My cousin was killed 1/14/23 and I’m trying to be strong since I’m the strong one but some days/moments I’m dying inside. And how you feel things will go wrong.. I’m so scared to lose another close family member or friend. Thank you for sharing cause I really felt I was the only one that felt this way. ❤
Someone that I knew past away a few years ago and I feel like by me going to the funeral and seeing that person in the casket triggered my anxiety. After that I would always wake up and think it was my last day or one of my family members cause I truly believed that I or someone was going to die. I was depressed and miserable but I never showed it or talked to anyone about it because I didn’t want them thinking I was crazy. I was tired of having that feeling everyday and it got to the point where I didn’t even wanna wake up because I knew that the next day I was going to wake up and have that same thought. Thank god I don’t think that way anymore but now that you talked about that, it made me feel even more secure and a relief that I wasn’t going crazy.
I have been struggling with anxiety a lot more these days and this is something I really needed to hear ❤❤❤
Thank you for opening up Mayra it’s ok to cry, they say when you feel like crying it’s better to release it their at that moment cause it just makes you think and think more about what you were thinking! I lost my mom 9yrs ago and I hadn’t see her for about 3-5 days and it hurts me so much she got struck by a drunk driver when she was driving back home. It hurts me so much I was only 19 and had just gave birth to now my 9yr old but at that time she was only 2 months old I went through the scariest postpartum depression and at that time I had 5 younger siblings that I had to take care of till this day I think about something bad is going to happen when my siblings my husband even myself are driving I feel like someone is going to hit us! I’m so sorry I can imagine what ur feeling I will keep you in my prayers I love you guys so much and love your podcast, again release when ur crying it’s normal to cry, I cry with you guys!
I have been living with trauma for over 20 years and everyday in fear that something bad is going to happen to my husband. And listening to y’all make me feel better. Everyone judged me when I try to saying something about it. 💔
I can appreciate your emotions on the podcast because it’s a very normal thing and being vulnerable is the realest anyone can be! Much love 💕
this is probably one of my favorite episodes (i love them all) but this episode i needed to hear so much. i recently lost my close cousin and hesitated on clicking on this weeks episode because i was scared it was gonna be hard to hear about traumas but everything you guys said about seeing peoples true colors and how people can be selfish is so true because im currently experiencing it right now. im so lucky to have a few girlfriends who check on me daily and make up for the rest. thank you girls for being so open and talking about these things it truly is helping so many of us going through the same. im also currently experiencing the fear mayra says about something bad going to happen so its nice to know its my brains way of coping with my recent traumas. love you girls and wishing nothing but healing for all of us this year 🤍
I had a traumatic situation that left me so anxious and I also had really bad intrusive thoughts, it makes me feel better knowing that I am not the only one going through this . I might start looking for therapy now . Thank you Mayra for speaking about it
Normalize not being ok. This conversation made me realize I have death anxiety really bad too, but it’s hard to express that to other people because they will reassure you and tell you it’s ok, but tell that to my head you know. Feel your feeling queens for however long because I’ve been struggling since 2011 and my cousin never came home. Sometimes you just need to talk about it and cry whenever you can with the people who care!
This episode is one of the reasons why this is my favorite podcast. So raw, uncut & vulnerable which makes it relatable to your everyday people, I loved it. Definitely, was one of my favorite episodes. Love you queens!!!
Wow!!!! Girl you have no idea how much i needed this!!!!!! Two years agomy brother was moving states with his family when his wife got into a accident and unfortunately they lost their daughter who was a month away from turning 4 years old …. She didnt make it pass 48 hours since the accident when she passed away …i had just delivered my son less than two weeks before……iv found so many similarities between the son i had and the niece i lost iv caught myself going into a dark space grieving my brothers loss .. his only daughter of 3 …i tell myself my brother will never be the same and it’s beyond emotional just thinking about it ! YOU ARE BEYOND SPECIAL FOR BRINGING THIS TO US I NEEDED THIS SOO BAD TO KNOW IM NOT CRAZY OR IN MY HEAD ….i cry at the thought that i know my brother dosnt want to live because even though he’s never said it I know there must be alot he dosnt want to share
This is something I am experiencing and Mayra is the reason why I watch this podcast. I can relate so much with her and Karina is so supportive just like my sister. Thank you ladies for being so open and transparent.🙏🏼
Mayra and Karina thank you for everything you do. I’m only 20 but through your podcast I learn so much about life about mental health you’re the older sisters I’ve never had since I’m the oldest in my family You’re both so inspirational
You both speak on things I wish others could too like the good heavy cries that happened after bottling up
I’m rooting for both of you 🌸🥹💖❤️❤️
I love hearing Mayra talk about her feelings and pour her heart out. It makes me feel like we’re actually friends and I’m hearing my friend vent her feelings and be there for her even if it’s from a distance! I love it because I can see that she’s slowly healing and you’ve come such a long way. A year ago today you wouldn’t have been able to share your feelings this way and all of us are standing on the sidelines cheering for you girlie, we love you so much! chins & giggles and occasional tears lol we love it here ✨
I felt that it feels like so wrong to because you wanna be happy but your mind just sits in sadness 😢 you got this Mayra!! Spread all the awareness because people who come across this channel will always appreciate it! ❤
Omggg thank you so much Mayra for opening up. Like seriously what you are mentally battling with on a daily basis is exactly what I’ve been battling with for a year. You are really helping me with my mental health. You make me feel like I’m not alone 😣
Mayra you’re not alone! I’ve gone through pretty traumatic events these last 3 years and I’ve been going through this with anxiety and it was hard to explain how I felt you said it perfectly I thought I was going crazy too
Mayra, It’s so beautiful how you have taken us on your healing journey. Thank you for your vulnerability and for continuing to help others with your experiences. I know your son would be so proud of you knowing his mommy is healing and at the same time helping others. Karina, you have done a beautiful job supporting your sister and making it a safe place for your sister to open up about her challenges. What a blessing you are and a beautiful example of a loving and supportive family member.
I ain’t watching the podcast while doing my makeup no more … I’m literally crying while doing my makeup. Mayra you are so strong! Karina I love you giving afirmación words to your sis !
Mayra thank you for speaking out! Ur helping more people than you think, and Karina I love the way you support Mayra, love seeing this. 💕🥹
I love how real you both are. This podcast has helped me. I look forward to every Friday not to go out and drink and party but to see you girls and spend time with you.
Your podcast helped me through my depression after miscarriage and even after having my rainbow baby i got really bad PPD from how traumatic my labor was. You two have no idea how much comfort i find in your podcast and in everything you talk about!
Wow!!!! Honestly thank you for the inside. This was great information, now I completely understand why I am constantly trying to prevent things from happening. This episode helped me understand myself and why I am in constant prevention mode. Trauma is insane. Girls it’s okay to cry, it’s the souls cleansing itself. Release all that energy, don’t hold it in.
I can relate to you Girls so much when it comes to being a woman who lives with anxiety that’s the aftermath of trauma and also the empathy that I feel seeing these terrible things happen around the world. Thank you guys for covering these topics and keeping it real!! That’s why I love your podcast
i had a miscarriage a year ago and to this day i still have my moment where i think how would it be if my baby was here, and when you said it’s not like you’re miserable everyday you’ll be happy but in the back of your head it’s still there it was really well said when you said it and shed a couple tears with you, thank you for opening up 🤍
You guys need to know even if you talk about real life things, you guys are still making us happy and bringing our moods up. Because sometimes we have the same feelings but we don’t talk to anyone about it so knowing how you guys really feel is relatable that brings us up and makes us feel better ❤️❤️ I love you guys and I love everything you talk about no matter what is is.
Mayra; every podcast I feel more connected to you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, I thought I was going crazy thinking about something happening to my husband or a family member. THANK YOU SO MUCH🥹 I needed to hear that. Sending you a big hug.
Karina is a beautiful human being! She looks so genuine. When she got so sad to realize just how bad Mayras trauma is broke my heart ☹️
Mayra I literally have been dealing with this feeling and anxiety for 2 years now. It’s really scary man, it’s definitely something that stops you from being yourself to your best potential. Listening to others having similar mental blocks, makes me feel less alone and better about my situation. The world we live in, and all of what’s been going on only adds to our brains chaos, but know that you’re not alone. And letting others know about it makes you feel better. I know it’s helped me out, the reassurance from something other than my own brain is so helpful. DONT APOLOGIZE FOR CRYING. You’re helping me out too😢💗
Guys, I’m such a fan! I love every episode but this hit me so hard! Mayra I went through 2 miscarriages nothing compared to you but it’s still grief and ever since I felt like I was slowly dying… & I haven’t said a thing about it. I tend to shut down yet again you made me realize I AM NOT LOOSING IT. It’s my brain after all my trauma 🥺 thank you for always being REAL! ❤️ you’ve helped at least 1 person by sharing and being real.
This episode helped me soooo much, I recently lost my grandma and I am heart broken.
when Maya said everyday she has to put up a happy face… I literally started crying, I cannot imagine your pain, I have kids and I would give my life for them so listening to you say that was heartbreaking, I am so sorry Mayra, i am sending you the biggest hug and know we all love you.
Karina and Mayra...I relate to you both soo much! I am twin too. People do not understand twin magic.. I see it so much in you two. Dont hide your feelings from anyone.. especially one another. Your openness and vulnerability with each other is a superpower and a gift in life! Always remember that, and embrace it.
It’s so ok to cry thank y’all for wearing your heart on your sleeve cause I am that way too. After my mom passed away in a car accident. I’ve felt so much of what Mayra talks about. I go through the same thing with my husband. I prefer to stay home 100% rather then go out or even in public places I’m afraid that a shooter will come at any moment and though I get I shouldn’t live my life in fear it’s a part of the grief that I’ve had to deal with after loosing my mom the way I did. Before that I never really ever thought about it. After loosing Someone you look at life so much different. I feel like I live my life with so much more purpose now. When I can talk about it I always do because just like Mayra talking about her grief helps me I’ve learned that speaking about grief shouldn’t always be sad but more of a learning lesson for yourself and everyone around you. Like y’all said tomorrow is not guaranteed so remembering or reminding people to live life with no regrets is a super power we must use the time we still have to help others and continue to live life the best way you can.
You just made me realize I’m not the only one who felt like me Myra…I’m thankful for sharing your vulnerability. You’re not alone and believe me, talking to loved ones about how you feel will feel 100% better and who cares about what people think… please do not stop sharing💖 YOU are making a difference even if it’s just one person. I love you girls so much keep up the amazing content🌸🌸🌸
Thank you so much for being so open Mayra! ❤ I struggled with anxiety and depression for two years after finding out my son is autistic two weeks before I went into labor with my baby girl! I would think I was going insane and that people would think I was loosing it! Until I finally accepted that I needed the help and I just needed someone to sit and listen to me without judging me! This is absolute therapy to sit here and listen to someone that I can relate to! I’m so proud of you girly keep pushing mama ❤❤❤❤
Girl, thank you for being so open and vulnerable. I am dealing with a different type of grief but I relate to all you say. I grieve my old life. Yes I have happy moments but it’s always in the back of my mind. De el fondo de mi corazón te deseo to do lo bonito del mundo. I’m glad you exist.
Thank you Mayra for being transparent with us, I suffer from mental health issues. And also recently started going to therapy and began taking vitamins for my brain. We’re in our self healing journey. I’m also a very emotional intuitive person😢 thank you for being relatable , makes me feel like I’m not alone. I love you guys sm. I want u to know I enjoy the crying moments, the laughing moments and even the serious moments of this podcast ❤❤❤
my mom and I were my grandmother's caregiver for the last 5 years of her life. It was the hardest thing I ever had to endure, and after her passing in 2021, I am now noticing the trauma in my day to day life. I too get that anxiety feeling when my husband goes out of the house. I get those "death is coming soon" thoughts too. Thank you for sharing this, it makes sense to me now and I feel a sense of peace knowing I am not alone and that it's normal for my brain to think this way based on my past traumatic events.
Thank you mayra and karina for your vulnerability! I love being honest and open too especially in regards to my trauma and mental health struggles but I also feel like it can tire ppl out and I always feel like I’m over sharing but this is real life. Thank you for being raw because it makes me feeel less alone
Hello queens, man this episode really got to me hearing Mayra talk about how she’s been scared when Brain leaves the house or how she feels she was going to die soon man that hurt me for her. I seen the pain she’s going through and how she’s trying her best to be ok and go on. Living with grief is the worst cause its a pain that will never go away and like Mayra says we cant talk about our grief all the time cause no one understands that pain only if u’re going through it. I love you queens cause u’s are so real and humble I love that about u’s please keep being that way and never change. I pray for you and ur family may God give the strength u’s need to keep pushing forward and know its ok to feel what u’re feeling. Thanks for talking about it cause I’m going through grief and just hearing someone talk about it thats knows how I’m feeling helps thank you.
I honestly feel so blessed to be able to watch/listen to you guys and relate. no matter how bad my day is you guys never fail to make my day 100% better and make me forget about everything else. you guys word everything so perfectly that make so much sense and make me feel heard!! i’m forever grateful for you two and your family, so comforting 🥹❤
I love laughing & crying along with you guys! Don't ever feel ashamed of making us cry along. It's very therapeutic & not everything is flowers & rainbows. Life is real & life is hard, but that's what makes the good times that much more special 🖤🖤
