Growing Together
Growing Together is a podcast that I (Sonny Vasquez) started with my fiancé and soon to be husband (Cesar Santos) to talk about the raw, authentic, and sometimes ugly truth of what it means to grow and become the person you are meant to be. In doing so, we hope to help those out there who might be on their own paths to finding out what they are meant to do. Growth is a continuous process and there are many different ways to reach the same end goal. We're here to walk you through what we have experienced and continue to experience on our journey to grow as individuals but also grow together

The Self Care No One Is Talking About | Episode 36
We hear the term self care all the time. It’s all over Tik Tok and Instagram. But what does it actually mean when we say “self care” Is it bubble baths, face masks, and treating yourself? As great as all that sounds, self care is quite literally the opposite. Well I shouldn’t say opposite. There is much more to self care than meets the eye and today that’s what we’ll dive into.  What is self care? How do we take care of ourselves? and How does this all contribute to the grand scheme of our lives?

Can You Really Manifest the Life of Your Dreams?
This week on the Growing Together podcast we shed light on the concept of Manifestation. I’m sure by now you’ve heard the words “manifest it” or “manifestation” across social media, but the first thing that ever came to my mind is “Does this actually work?” or is this some type of fad?   Now we aren’t here to tell you that answer, more so open up the conversation and see how it can help us in our journey to not just building our dreams lives but becoming our ideal selfs. Can’t knock it until you try it right? We also found this to be super fitting as 2023 is finally here.    So tell us, what are you manifesting this year?

Have You Been Personally Victimized By Toxic Productivity? | Episode #30
This week on the Growing Together podcast we dive deep into the concept of "toxic productivity" and the role it plays in our lives.  It seems to be second nature for us to constantly be on the move. We feel the need to constantly perform or do something that benefits us in some way, shape, or form. It's great to want to better ourselves but we have to think about how sustainable it is. Are we burning ourselves out? Are we doing this because society says that what we're supposed to do? In the midst of it all, we need to take time to take care of ourselves, and not let the need to be going at all times, take over.  Take care you too! Let us know in the comments how this mindset has shaped your life!
