The Latino Soul Sessions
The Latino Soul Sessions: Where ancient roots meet modern minds… one story, one lesson, one healing at a time.
Welcome, mi gente. This ain’t your abuelita’s self-help show (though we love her and her rosary).
The Latino Soul Sessions is a space for all of us
navigating the messy, magical in-between where cultural healing, identity, and mental health all come together like a soulful caldo when you didn’t even know you were hungry.
I’m Dan. Curandero. Business Professional. Grad student. Spiritual work in progress. Some days, I’m deep in ceremony, asking Spirit for guidance. Other days, I’m googling how to not lose your mind while doing your soul’s work. Both are valid.
This podcast is for the ones who hear the call to walk a spiritual path but still gotta pay bills. For those straddling two cultures, two languages, and maybe two therapists (no shame). We talk about ancestral wisdom, emotional wounds, spiritual awakenings, cultural expectations, and the occasional existential crisis that hits while doing laundry. It’s part storytelling, part therapy, part neta güey? (Like they say in Mexico)
You’ll hear solo episodes, deep conversations with guests including healers, therapists, leaders, and everyday souls, and little bendiciones to carry with you. We laugh, we cry, we light some sage or palo santo or copal. Or all of them at the same time. No judgment.
So if you’ve ever felt too much, too sensitive, too spiritual, too confused, or just too tired from trying to explain what a limpia is to your HR manager… pull up a chair. You belong here.
Let’s heal, grow, and reclaim our wholeness juntos.

The Latino Soul Sessions
Healing Shame: A Relational Path to Healing Feat. Susie Ortega, LCSW
Mi gente… let’s get real. Shame is that sneaky roommate we never invited in, but somehow it keeps eating our snacks and leaving dirty dishes in the sink.
Shame whispers: “If they really knew you, they’d leave.”
But here’s the truth: ✨ Shame is not the boss of you. ✨
In this episode of The Latino Soul Sessions, we’re calling shame out for what it is: a soul wound, not your destiny.
I’m joined by the amazing Susie Ortega, LCSW, a relational therapist, healer of hearts, and professional breaker of shame cycles. Susie is trained in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT) and specializes in helping Latinos untangle intergenerational trauma, betrayal wounds, and the cultural programming that tells us to keep our feelings locked up tighter than Tupperware at your tia’s house.
Together, we dive into:
- What shame really is (and how it’s different from guilt).
- How shame shows up in Latino culture (hello, “calladita te ves más bonita”).
- Why shame sabotages our relationships and what to do about it.
- Healing shame in connection with others—because shame thrives in silence, but healing thrives in safe belonging.
- Ancestral shame, cultural reclamation, and how healing yourself heals your bloodline.
- Practical tools, soul journaling prompts, and even an ancestral release ritual you can try at home.
And of course… we wrap it all up with a Rapid Fire: Healer Edition round that proves therapy can be holy, healing, and hilarious all at once.
✨ This episode is for you if:
- You’ve ever carried shame that wasn’t yours.
- You’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough.”
- You’re ready to start healing in connection instead of isolation.
Because real talk? Shame may be loud, but your soul is louder. 🔥
