The Señora Vibes Podcast

‼️ Emergency Episode: Our week in the ER with a life threatening crisis.

NOTE: The contents of this episode are intended for education and entertainment only and do not constitute medical advice or substitute for evaluation by a medical professional. 
In this episode of the Vibes by Alicia podcast, Rusk and I sit down with our doctor Dr. Sonia Singh to share a recent medical scare that flipped our lives upside down. 
We are sharing this conversation in the hopes that you learn to trust your instincts and not delay seeking medical advice when something feels off.
One day we are trekking the beautiful jungle of Volcanoes National Park in Rwanda, and Rusk is struggling to breathe, and next, we're getting a CT scan and confirming our worst fears, Rusk has a double pulmonary embolism.
 We beg you to be proactive about your health and seek medical attention when you feel something is not right. We made every excuse in the book to delay medical treatment... the consequences could have been fatal.
Here's a checklist I created on how you can be your best advocate within the hospital system.
My friends, please pay attention to your bodies, after this we will never take our health for granted again.

🌈 One Father’s Message of PRIDE & Acceptance 🌈

HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! 
We had the pleasure of interviewing Mr. Leonardo Velasquez a master puppeteer with a life-long mission of bringing happiness and education to our school children. Coming from Venezuela he knew that he had one chance to make something of his life and that meant multiple sacrifices for himself and his daughter Camila.
Mr. Leonardo shares with us his daughter's coming out story, and how he knew she needed his unconditional love and acceptance. Ultimately love is the unifying message in all that he does and it shows in everything that he creates!
This episode is one of enormous importance and relevance for me because 6 years ago I published a sweet father-daughter book detailing my life stories with my dad who is an immigrant from Mexico and who gave me the highest support that any father can give. Lessons I carry with me every day!
This month in honor of Father's Day we are raising funds to donate 100 books t
