Rewind: Grieving In My Own Way

Rewind: Grieving In My Own Way

Author: My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts May 13, 2026 Duration: 33:44

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be re-visiting some of my FAVORITE episodes over the last four seasons. I’ll be sharing where I am now, compared to where I was when I recorded an episode. I want you to think of these episodes as a countdown for something completely new.

Today, we're revisiting an episode called Grieving In My Own Way - and guess what? I'm joined by my producers Brianna and Pablo. We'll talk about what grief looks like for me today - almost 14 years after losing my mom. And be sure to stay tuned after our conversation to hear the full episode, where I open up about the social pressures to grieve publicly.

Step into a space that feels like a long, honest conversation with a close friend who just happens to have lived an extraordinary life. That's the vibe of Chiquis and Chill, a podcast from My Cultura and iHeartPodcasts where Latin Grammy winner Chiquis pulls up a virtual chair for some real talk. This isn't a filtered highlight reel; it's where she unpacks the complexities of building an identity within a famous family and the specific challenges of carving out a massive career in a male-dominated industry. Listeners get a front-row seat to her personal reflections on love, family dynamics, and the lessons learned along the way. Each episode feels like a blend of heartfelt confession and empowering chat, often featuring special guests who join in to explore everything from practical advice on health and beauty to the realities of entrepreneurship. The "chill" in the title is a promise of authenticity-whether the topic is light, deeply personal, or ventures into spicier territory. Tuning into this podcast means connecting with the stories behind the star, the resilience behind the success, and the woman navigating it all with a relatable blend of strength and vulnerability.
