Modern Latina in Midlife
Exploring the mindset shift from midlife crisis to midlife opportunity. A judgment free space to talk openly about the third chapter in a woman’s life, fully embracing the midlife journey and creating meaningful and intentional experiences. Your host, Sonia Flores, shares her midlife awakening journey to peel back the layers society has placed on her, reawaken the spark inside and come back to her inner authentic woman. She is also joined by experts in different areas of learning and growth for women in the midlife stage, 40 to 60 years of age. At the heart of her coaching approach lies a deep-rooted belief that we have the ability to create the life we truly want. But many times, we are hanging on to what has outlived its usefulness. The intention is that these conversations will spark something in you too.

67. 10 Lessons from 10 Years in Business

67. 10 Lessons from 10 Years in Business
Something powerful is happening. And it’s being led by women. In this episode, I pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to be a woman in business in 2025—the growth, the resilience, the truth behind the numbers, and the inner work no one talks about. Women now own nearly 4 in 10 U.S. businesses, with Women of Color leading one of the fastest-growing entrepreneurial movements in history. And still… the journey isn’t easy. Funding gaps. Burnout. Self-doubt. The pressure to do it “right.” I share the stats that matter and then I go deeper. Into what I’ve learned from 10 years in business. The lessons you don’t get from Instagram quotes. The mindset shifts. The energetic work. The uncomfortable growth that actually changes everything. For women who are building—or ready to build—this episode focuses on real action steps, decision-making, and the mindset shifts that separate long-term success from short-term hustle. Episode Highlights Why women are driving nearly half of all new businesses—and what that means for the future The real reasons businesses close (and why women still show strong survival rates) Why starting before you feel ready is non-negotiable How clarity only comes from action (messy action counts) The truth about discomfort and why it’s a sign you’re growing Why the women who succeed are usually the ones who simply didn’t quit How to stop copying what works for others and build what works for you Pricing from self-worth Why intuition, inner work, and energy matter more than strategy alone What it really means to “act as if” and embody the version of you who already has the results Resources: This episode is made possible by The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life.

66. Behind the Scenes: How to Move Through Deep Emotions in 3 Steps

66. Behind the Scenes: How to Move Through Deep Emotions in 3 Steps
This week on Modern Latina in Midlife, I’m pulling back the curtain in a way I honestly haven’t before. I hit record in the middle of a really emotional moment — no filters, no perfect lighting, no polished script — just me, feeling everything. And in sharing it, my hope is that you remember you don’t have to hold it all together either. Inside this episode, I walk you through how I moved from overwhelm to clarity, from “why is this happening?” to “oh… this is what it’s trying to teach me.” These are the tools that have changed my life over the last decade, and I’m handing them to you with an open heart. Episode Highlights A real look at what processing emotions actually looks like in the moment Why giving yourself permission to feel is the most healing thing you can do How everyday moments — washing dishes, walking, vacuuming — offer us opportunities to process The emotional storm that hit: mom-heart worries, grief, flight delays, and intuition The 3 steps I use to move through deep emotions without spiraling How speaking or journaling it out clears the noise inside your body The magic question that always reveals the deeper meaning: Why is this happening for me? Steps to Process Your Emotions: 1- Allow yourself to feel the emotions run through your body without abandon. Let them rip. Research shows that it only takes about 90 seconds for emotions to fully process through your body. So let them move because it is not a good thing to let them get stuck. It later manifests in more emotional issues, and eventually into physical problems 2- Share it to get it off your body. Whether you share it with someone, in a journal or on a podcast episode! Oftentimes just getting it off your body, speaking it out loud or journaling, will help the processing. 3- Ask yourself “Why is this happening for me?” There is always a reason for this. For me, journaling helped me unpack this in the beginning. I am now more easily able to coach myself, to talk myself through this to get to the bottom of it. But journaling is your own personal on-demand therapist. There is a lesson in everything we experience. Get curious as to what that is for you. Be open to receive the message. 4- Then take the appropriate, next, inspired action. And be open to that being doing nothing.

65. The 10-Minute Shift That Will Change Your Entire Day (starting now!)
In today’s episode, I’m sharing a simple little moment that completely shifted my energy in under 10 minutes. On the morning of 11/11 — a day all about alignment and intention — I woke up tired, foggy, and fully ready to stay in my PJs all day. But during my journaling and meditation, I received one clear nudge: go for a walk as the version of me who already has what I'm manifesting. So I listened. I got dressed. I stepped outside. And everything changed. In this short episode, I walk you through how one inspired action raised my frequency, reconnected me to gratitude, reminded me of what I’ve already manifested… and completely transformed the trajectory of my day. If you’ve been feeling stuck, slow, or heavy, this episode is your reminder that the smallest shift can create the biggest ripple. Come listen, and then try your own 10-minute reset. You might surprise yourself. Resources: This episode is made possible by The Adult Chair: Get Unstuck, Claim Your Power, and Transform Your Life. A book by Michelle Chalfant.

63. Champagne Charlas: The Biggest Surprise About Becoming an Empty Nester
In this Champagne Charlas episode of Modern Latina in Midlife, I’m sitting down with my dear friend and intuitive healer, Kimberly Katherine, to talk honestly about what it’s really like to become an empty nester. We’re only a few weeks in, week five & six, and already it’s brought up waves of unexpected grief, pride, identity shifts, and those “out of nowhere” tears that feel a lot like loss. We share how we’re navigating quiet houses, kids getting sick far away from home, and that helpless feeling of not being able to swoop in and fix it like we used to, whether they’re off at university or in the Navy. We also talk about the practical and spiritual side of this transition: grocery bills and gas going down, rearranging rooms, the urge to move (or not move), and how we’re using this season to turn inward. You’ll hear how we’re leaning on journaling, meditation, nervous system regulation, spirit guides, and deep inner work to rediscover who we are beyond motherhood. If you’re an empty nester, or you know it’s coming, this conversation will make you feel seen, less alone, and hopefully a little more supported as you write your next chapter, too. So grab your favorite bubbly or tea, get comfy, and join us for this honest girlfriend conversation.

In this deeply personal and raw episode, I share the entire story behind one of the most challenging and transformational experiences of my life—hiking Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the continental U.S. With over 22 miles and 6,100+ feet of elevation gain, this wasn’t just a physical journey—it was an emotional and spiritual pilgrimage.

55. The Truth About Abundance Cathy Heller Helped Me See
What if abundance wasn’t something you chased, but something you allowed? In today’s solo episode, I’m sharing the 9 biggest takeaways from Cathy Heller’s powerful book Abundant Ever After. These insights cracked me open in the best way, challenging how I think about money, purpose, success, and what it really means to receive. This book reminded me of the power of mindset, alignment, and trusting the role we’re meant to play in this life. If you’ve ever struggled with comparison, scarcity, or the pressure to do things a certain way… this one’s for you. In this episode I share: Why money is meant to move and how holding onto it might be blocking your flow How to become a vessel for abundance and opportunity The power of claiming your unique role in the collective Why we often unconsciously choose to stay stuck The hidden cost of comparison and trying to live someone else’s version of success How to stop waiting for “someday” and start living now What your emotions are telling you about your frequency How your repeated thoughts are shaping your beliefs and your reality The real reason you might struggle to receive abundance and how to expand your capacity to have This is an honest, personal look at how this book shifted the way I move through the world, and I hope it opens something for you too. 🎧 Listen now and then message me: Which takeaway resonated with you most?

54. Psychedelics 101: Healing, Integration, and Inner Transformation
What if the medicine you’re looking for isn’t in a bottle… but in a ceremony? In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Carla Detchon, integration coach and host of the Psychedelic Divas podcast, to explore the healing potential of psychedelics and plant medicine—especially for women in midlife navigating transformation, grief, and personal growth. Carla shares her journey of over 40 years working with psychedelics, including two decades studying under psychedelic pioneer Ralph Metzner. Together, we explore what these sacred tools really are (spoiler: not all are “plant-based”), how they can be used for intentional healing, and what to know before stepping into this kind of work. Whether you’re curious about microdosing, deep ceremony, or just want to hear what’s possible—this episode is a beautiful starting point for the sacred journey inward. In this episode, we talk about: What psychedelics actually are and the difference between plant-based and synthetic substances How psychedelics can support emotional healing, spiritual growth, and trauma release Why intention and integration are essential parts of any healing journey The stages of a psychedelic journey: from preparation to ceremony to integration What microdosing is and how it differs from full (macro) journeys How to find a safe, ethical, and trustworthy facilitator The truth about the “healing window” that opens after a psychedelic experience How psychedelics help us reconnect with our intuition and inner wisdom Do’s and don’ts for beginners—and how to know if you’re truly ready Have questions about psychedelics?
