17 MAY 2026 · In honor of Mental Health Month, this episode of Cafe con Pam gets extra honest and vulnerable. Pam welcomes actress and writer Valeria Maldonado Jackson for a deep dive into what mental health really looks like behind the scenes—especially for Latinas and creatives. Valeria shares her personal experiences with depression, the rollercoaster of emotions after big achievements, and how she uses both therapy and natural remedies to keep moving forward.
The conversation touches on the unique pressures of balancing multiple identities, breaking stigma around mental health in our communities, and what true support and self-acceptance can look like.
Whether you’re navigating your own mental health journey or want to show up for someone else, this special Mental Health Month episode is full of understanding, encouragement, and real talk.

3 MAY 2026 · In this heartfelt episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam sits down with Dr. Christine Coleman to discuss her powerful journey navigating a dual Mexican-Iranian heritage, her experiences with grief and anticipatory loss, and building resilience as a therapist, mother, and founder of Sol Sisters nonprofit.
Together, they unpack the psychological impacts of identity, the challenges and liberation of late-diagnosed ADHD in women, and the critical importance of representation and mental health within BIPOC communities. Dr. Christine Coleman also shares the story behind her socio-relational healing theory and how embracing cultural complexities has informed her work and vision for collective healing and empowerment.
This episode is a must-listen for those interested in mental health, intersectional identity, women’s leadership, and healing within communities of color.

26 APR 2026 · In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam goes solo to break down what keeps so many of us holding back: the visibility wound and the certainty gap.
Pam gets real about how these two “sisters” show up for women—especially women of color—at work and beyond. You’ll walk away with practical tips, a simple body-based exercise, and a reminder that you don’t have to wait for permission to show up fully as yourself.
Get ready to move past just naming what’s holding you back, and actually start doing something about it!

19 APR 2026 · On this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam chats with Edna Mariñelarena, a powerhouse in finance with deep roots in Chihuahua, Mexico. Edna opens up about what it’s like growing up as a first-generation Latina in the U.S., how she became the family “financial floor,” and the emotional rollercoaster of supporting loved ones while building her own career.
The conversation dives into why financial literacy matters (especially for women of color), how Savvy Ladies is changing the game by offering free financial advice, and real talk about negotiating those job offers. If you want behind-the-scenes insight on Latinas in finance, family expectations, and breaking the money taboo, this episode is a must-listen.

26 APR 2026 · In this episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam goes solo to break down what keeps so many of us holding back: the visibility wound and the certainty gap.
Pam gets real about how these two “sisters” show up for women—especially women of color—at work and beyond. You’ll walk away with practical tips, a simple body-based exercise, and a reminder that you don’t have to wait for permission to show up fully as yourself.
Get ready to move past just naming what’s holding you back, and actually start doing something about it!

Edna opens up about what it’s like growing up as a first-generation Latina in the U.S., how she became the family “financial floor,” and the emotional rollercoaster of supporting loved ones while building her own career.
The conversation dives into why financial literacy matters (especially for women of color), how Savvy Ladies is changing the game by offering free financial advice, and real talk about negotiating those job offers. If you want behind-the-scenes insight on Latinas in finance, family expectations, and breaking the money taboo, this episode is a must-listen.

12 APR 2026 · In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam kicks off quarter two with an empowering deep dive into the concept of "rooted authority" for first-generation Latina leaders.
Using real survey responses and her own career stories, Pam breaks down the four roots Latinas have been quietly building: translating, managing without authority, caring for everyone, and surviving visibility in spaces not made for them.
By weaving these roots together, she shows how what once felt like a burden can actually become your biggest leadership flex. Get ready to feel seen, celebrated, and inspired to own your story!

29 MAR 2026 · In this solo episode of Cafe con Pam, Pam addresses the recent revelations from civil rights icon Dolores Huerta, who at 95 came forward to disclose Cesar Chavez’s sexual assault against her in the 1960s.
With honesty and heart, Pam unpacks what Huerta’s story means for the Latinx community, the heavy silence so many women carry, and the complicated feelings that come when a cultural hero lets us down.
If you’ve ever felt the pressure to stay quiet for the sake of family, community, or movement, this episode will resonate. It’s a deep dive into what it costs to keep those secrets—and what it means to finally speak out.

22 MAR 2026 · On this episode of Café con Pam, Pam sits down with Sahirenys Pierce, a powerhouse financial educator and the mind behind the High Five Banking Method.
Sahirenys opens up about her experience growing up as a first-gen Dominican-American in San Diego, going through her family’s financial ups and downs during the 2008 recession, and how it pushed her to create new money habits (and eventually, her own book!).
The conversation dives deep into real-life money struggles, learning to save even when no one taught you how, and how being intentional with your finances can seriously change your life—no matter where you start from.

15 MAR 2026 · In this solo episode of Café con Pam, Pam talks about what it actually means to feel certain—and why so many first-gen Latinas constantly feel like they're not enough for any room.
We break down the difference between confidence (which we can fake) and certainty (which has to come from deep within), and shares why Calladita Culture was stealing our sense of wholeness before we even noticed.
If you’ve ever felt too much or not enough, this episode is your reminder that your unique blend of identities is your superpower, not a flaw. Pam also walks us through simple, body-based (somatic) practices you can use anytime to anchor yourself back into who you really are, so you can show up with more authenticity—just in time for spring’s season of blooming.
