Building Dreams: Navigating the Residential Construction Landscape

Building Dreams: Navigating the Residential Construction Landscape
This episode gives you insight into our journey of building our first residential property.  Rusk and I are partners in real estate, we work the development and I execute as a realtor. - We just finished a very cool house—our first build from the ground up We called it our Bayou Project because it's on Bayou Street, located in the Fifth Ward.  - We share our experience of finding the land, securing the property, and getting to the finish line, which is often the hardest part. But we all know that the key to anything is execution.  
You will also hear: - Finding financing for commercial projects.    - How we have to pivot so many times when our permits don't arrive on time.  -- How do you find land to begin with? - Key factors include the cost of the land and whether it makes sense for your project.   - Will the property meet the expected return or formula you're aiming for? - We focus on underserved and up-and-coming areas like Fifth Ward, Sunnyside, and Foster Place for investment opportunities.
And so much more....

From Hood Girls to Mentors

From Hood Girls to Mentors 
Reflecting on our lives, Martha and I delve into the role of mentorship and progression that shaped our perspectives. From balancing multiple jobs while pursuing education to understanding economic disparities through our contrasting school experiences, these challenges have fueled our dedication to the progressive agenda and the Democratic Party.
We discuss the importance of mentoring and giving back to the community, we share personal stories of career triumphs and the invaluable support from others. We wrap up with a nostalgic look at quinceañera memories, influential music, and career advice for teenage girls, encouraging them to seize opportunities and stay connected for more inspiring content in future episodes.

Sisters, Señoras and Shenanigans!

In the Season 13 premiere of the *The Senora Vibes* podcast, my sister Martha joins me for the first time (after years of trying to get her on!). We talk about finding the balance between keeping things private and being real. We also open up about our emotional journey after losing our mom and the unbreakable bond that keeps our family strong. A knee injury from a fun night of dancing "quebradita" turned into a life-changing moment, teaching me the value of family and the need to slow down.
The episode goes beyond personal anecdotes to highlight our professional endeavors, particularly my sister's rewarding career with H-E-B. We reflect on Martha's impactful community work, from disaster relief efforts to organizing grand openings and supporting rehabilitation centers.
We tell you why the phrase "no bailes de caballito" became a cautionary tale!

Season 13 Premiere- The Comeback Girl

Season 13 Premiere- The Comeback Girl
Five months ago, I found myself on the floor at a family gathering, my knee in excruciating pain, and my summer plans up in the air. It was at that moment, with my husband Rusk by my side, that our journey through ACL injury and recovery began. This episode of the Señora Vibes podcast marks our return after a six-month hiatus, and we’re pulling back the curtain on the highs, lows, and everything in between that comes with such a significant injury. From the split-second decisions we made to avoid the ER, opting instead to consult our trusted family practitioner, Dr. Sonia Singh, to the lucky involvement of orthopedic surgeon Dr. Houston Braly,  an old family friend, we share the intimate details of our path to recovery.
Never count this scrappy girl out! Call Her the Comeback Girl!

My Birthday Check-In! A mid-year reflection of my life so far 🥳

Join me to celebrate by listening to this mid-year birthday check-in episode and sharing it! 
I do a mini-episode every year called, "A Birthday Check-In".  It's a brief chat with myself and my listeners as I reflect on the last few months as a 48-year-old and what I'm manifesting for 49. 
As many of you know my year started wonderfully and just a few weeks ago it went south. Hear as I reflect on the lessons and the expectations for myself and this podcast.  You'll hear why it's not a good idea to go balls-to-wall crazy because it can lead to injury....ouch!! 
I decided to take a break from podcasting and focus on rebranding myself and my podcast.  You'll hear where I'm heading and WHY I NEED you to come with me. 
I love you all. Thank you so much for your support and for listening! Please send me your positive vibes and remember that I want to hear from you.
Always-Alicia

Raising Ethical Children without Religion with Kate Cohen

Navigating the intricate dance of parenting without religious beliefs, we open up about our personal experiences and the heartfelt moments that have shaped our approach to raising children with a secular perspective. Joined by Kate Cohen, a columnist and author who champions the cause of non-believers, we explore the depth of morality, ethics, and community support in a life free from religious doctrine. Our conversation invites you to witness the balancing act between honoring family traditions and upholding our own convictions, all while nurturing our children's understanding of the world through a non-religious lens.
With the arrival of our children came the daunting task of imparting values and answering the big life questions without the framework of religious stories. We share the transition from our own religious upbringings to embracing atheism, and the conscious choice to foster honesty over conformity. This episode isn't just about the absence of belief; it's a glimpse into the rich tapestry of human morality and ethics that exists outside the confines of religious texts. We delve into the innate nature of kindness and delve into discerning the world with curiosity and compassion.
We round out our discussion by addressing the need for community and support, especially for women facing the dual challenges of caregiving for both children and aging parents outside traditional religious structures. Kate Cohen brings her own narrative of authenticity, emphasizing the importance of solidarity among non-believing individuals and the potential societal shift towards greater acceptance of atheism. Her insights are not just for the non-believer but for anyone interested in the broader implications of living a life grounded in secular humanism and ethical integrity. Join us for an episode filled with personal anecdotes and cultural references that will resonate with anyone on a journey toward understanding life's complexities beyond religion.
Kate Cohen is a Washington Post contributing columnist and author of We of Little Faith: Why I Stopped Pretending to Believe (And Maybe You Should Too)
