Life is full of unexpected pivots. felicitreza™ explores what we do with them.

felicitreza™ is the podcast for anyone who knows life rarely unfolds according to plan and believes the best chapters may still be ahead.

Born from the Spanish words felicidad (happiness) and tristeza (sadness), felicitreza is about holding the whole messy, beautiful, often contradictory experience of being human in one hand.

Because when life changes you, you don’t just go back to who you were. You adapt. Expand. Pivot.

Hosted by Nina Rodriguez, creator and host of the award-winning podcast Grief and Light™, felicitreza™ celebrates reinvention in all its forms. Career pivots. Identity shifts. Unexpected chapters. Starting over. Starting again (and again). Embracing the unknown and trusting you’ll find your way.

If Grief and Light™ is the lighthouse in the storm, felicitreza™ is the rainbow after the storm. It’s the rebuilding. The reinvention. The audacity to believe that life still has good surprises waiting for you.

This is for the pivoters, entrepreneurs, rule benders, late bloomers, multipotentialites, people who took the scenic route, and humans who refuse to believe their best days are behind them.

We don’t pretend the hard stuff didn’t happen. We just refuse to let it have the final word.

We celebrate pivots at every age. We believe tomorrow is not guaranteed, which is exactly why we’re going after what matters today.

Created as a bilingual podcast, felicitreza™ celebrates the beauty of living between worlds, because we were never meant to fit neatly into one box anyway.

Most conversations will be in English, with room for Spanglish, Spanish, and the cultural nuances of navigating multiple identities, languages, and experiences.

Through solo reflections and conversations, felicitreza™ explores reinvention, resilience, identity, creativity, and the unexpected gifts that appear when life asks us to begin again.

Because sometimes the thing that breaks your old life open is the very thing that makes room for your next one.

Welcome to felicitreza™.

The celebration of becoming who you were always meant to be.
