22| Never Choose to Stop Speaking Your Truth

No matter how scary it may seem, don't ever stop speaking your truth. It's easy to turn a blind eye to injustices, but is that what your soul really wants? Or does it long for you to be courageous and honest with what feels right? These are some of the questions Cat has been grappling with over the past few months and in this episode, she opens up about what's really been going on in her mind. She always makes a conscious effort to portray positivity and unity, but sometimes, things aren't so pretty and it requires attention. Having recognized that she was silencing herself as a way to avoid "rocking the boat" Cat makes a promise to never choose that again.Highlights5:00-I've burnt out6:00-The real you will always shine through10:00-The universe always sends us guiding signs12:00-I've been carrying fear in my heart16:00-When you speak the truth you will always meet resistance19:00-Sometimes we neglect who we were born to be20:45-It's okay to evolve22:00-Don't silence yourself because you don't have all the answers25:00-I promise to always choose courageQuote of the Week“Alone, no one wins freedom”-Ursula Le GuinKeep Up With CatSubscribe to the show to ensure you don't miss out on any episodes!Head to www.catlantigua.com to subscribe to her exclusive weekly emails!Follow her on Twitter: @catlantiguaFollow her on Instagram: @cat.lantiguaCheck out her Facebook page: Cat LantiguaKeep following Cat on all of the socials to stay updated on all of the great things coming up!

21| Betting on the Underdog

Cat breaks down the importance of supporting "the underdog". These are the people who don't have a lot of money, followers, or clout but are out in the world fearlessly exposing their talents. Whether they're musicians, poets, painters, or podcasters, Cat believes it's crucial that they secure your energy and support. In the midst of their self-doubt and contemplation on whether their dreams are worth it, your encouragement can be the difference between a shitty day and a productive confident one. Cat is an advocate for everyone pursuing their dreams, but as an underdog herself, she understands the importance of a strong support system.Quote of the Week"Leadership almost always involves thinking and acting like the underdog.

20| Uncovering the Afro-Latina Experience

Cat breaks down the intersectionality of the Afro-latina experience. She wants to bring attention to the deafening lack of representation of her fellow Afro-latinx's. She also challenges what it means to appear "acceptable" within the boundaries of Latin beauty standards. Inspired by Dominican singer Amara La Negra's recent defense of her unashamed Afro-Latina appearance, Cat proposes that this be the time all Afro-latinx's rise up to demand accurate portrayals across Latin mediums.Quote of the Week"As children of the diaspora, our identities have roots in the messy, complicated and ugly history of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Our memories are scattered across islands and oceans and continents. But in the struggle of finding who we are, we might be closer to finding we can be many beautiful, synchronized things all at once." -Jess TorreKeep Up With CatSubscribe to the show to ensure you don't miss out on any episodes!Head to www.catlantigua.com to subscribe to her exclusive weekly emails!Follow her on Twitter: @catlantiguaFollow her on Instagram: @cat.lantiguaCheck out her Facebook page: Cat LantiguaKeep following Cat on all of the socials to stay updated on all of the great things coming up!

17| Overcoming Self-Hate

It's common for many of us to dislike some things about our bodies. We often compare our bodies to that of others and think that life would be so much easier if only we looked like "so and so". But what happens when it becomes too much? For Cat, what started out as disliking some parts of her body ballooned into self-hatred and loathing. Her body began to develop earlier than most girls, so she was being sexualized by older men while still in her teens. She was body shamed by dance teachers and constantly reminded how much she "needed to change" from those around her. It's no surprise that over the years, this has all amounted to an intense feeling of not being enough and feeding her mind with vicious self-talk.Cat has finally begun to understand that this way of thinking is hurtful and self-limiting, and some changes have got to be made. There's NO WAY that Cat or anyone can expect to achieve the fullness of happiness and success with this kind of mindset. Along the way, Cat has discovered self-love boosters that have helped her tons during her lowest days and shares her TOP 5 faves with you! Reframing the mind to think positively when we look in the mirror after decades of only hearing the bad isn't easy, but as you'll soon hear, we can absolutely do it and each of us deserves that inner peace.2017 was the year of honest reflection and acknowledgment of the things we've kept buried, but 2018 and beyond will be filled with wholesome changes and unapologetic living! BRING ON THE HEALING!Highlights4:30-Negative self-talk can become the default way of living.6:00-2017 was the year I realized I wasn't OK.7:30-The key is to equip yourself with the right tools to combat the nagging voice.12:00- Top 5 tools that have helped me reshape my inner dialogue.Quote of the Week"We cannot live in a world that is not our own. A world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is no a home. Part of the terror is to take back out our listening. To use our voice.

This inspiring young woman has fearlessly embraced her creative gifts which led her to study at Berklee College of Music in Boston and ultimately compose alongside artists like Alex Ubago, Tommy Torres, and Luis Enrique.

Manu has embarked on the journey of finding the balance between old school and new school without losing the essence of who she really is. In September 2015 she was nominated as "Best New Artist" in the 16th edition of the Latin Grammy Awards and in 2016 she signed with Peer Music Publishing and Aquos Music Publishing.

15| Spreading Anger Isn’t Activism

Cat chats about realizing that she's been slacking as an activist. A few recent experiences proved that she needed to analyze how much of an impact she was actually making, and after some deep reflection, she realized it wasn't much. During a time where so many gaps need to be bridged throughout, society Cat acknowledges that her hyper-emotional/angered approach to activism is not the best route to take if she wants to provide solutions. She shares where she's fallen short in the past, how she'll change in the future, and how this can be a lesson to all of those hoping to spread awareness to important social issues.Quote of the Week"Once we belong thoroughly in ourselves, true belonging is ours."-Dr. Brene BrownKeep Up With CatSubscribe to the show to ensure you don't miss out on any episodes!Head to www.catlantigua.com to subscribe to her exclusive weekly emails!Follow her on Twitter: @catlantiguaFollow her on Instagram: @cat.lantiguaCheck out her Facebook page: Cat LantiguaKeep following Cat on all of the socials to stay updated on all of the great things coming up!

14| Saying No to Fuckboys, You Deserve Better

Cat chats about the importance of preserving your sacred energy and peace of mind by saying no to f*ckboys. It's clear that Millennial women are being exposed to fewer examples of healthy romantic relationships and as a result, many are settling for less than they deserve. Too many are lowering their standards because they don't think that others can meet their expectations, and Cat is no different, she was one of them too. She reflects on where her love life was just a few years ago and how starkly it compares to where she finds herself now. Throughout the episode, she reassures that there's no need to lower one's standards. The person you wish to meet is not a figment of your imagination. That person is real, and they are out there looking for you too.Quote of the Week'The truth is, everyone is going to hurt you.

Feelings are free to express and give to ourselves and each other through our willingness to give and care.What is complicated about this... Why have we made others feel they have to climb mountains and swim oceans in order to make a difference.All we need to understand my friends is that human life was given equally to us all, not partially but in totality.The sun was given to all. It does not shine on the few. So, just has nature is indifferent to our station or situation, we need to know that we are all equal. We need to focus on the things that are constant and not place our values on things that can be blown away with the next, great, wind.Value life in whatever house it dwells. For when it comes time that we are all stripped to bare bones before the divine and facing eternity, we will understand that the only law we were meant to follow, was to love ourselves and each other.

01| Let's Get Real: What Are You Actually Afraid Of?

In this episode, Cat chats about overcoming her self-doubt and fears after moving to NYC. She reflects on how important it is to discern real fear from the one that is self-created and inhibiting. Cat shares her hesitation on accepting recent opportunities due to her feeling of not being qualified, and how she ultimately overcame her self-doubt. She spreads words of encouragement and urges everyone to dig deep and connect with the passions only they know they hold. She asks everyone the bold question "what are you afraid of" all the while trying to make sense of her own fears.Quotes"Every second you spend thinking about what somebody else has is taking away time from something you can create for yourself""We all came here for a reason. We all came here to provide the world with something only we can do""Don't you think we deserve to be inspired by the most authentic version of you?""The journey isn't easy, but it's so worth it"Quote of the WeekNothing in life is to be feared, it's only to be understood.
