He erased me for 13 years. Then cacao changed everything.


It had been 13 years since we'd spoken.

There was never a falling out or an argument. No chaotic moment to pinpoint. One day, he simply stopped taking my calls. Didn't respond to my texts. He just… erased me. And it hurt, deeply.

This was a man who had been there for me through all the years my own father wasn't. He was my uncle, my mother's only sibling. And he was my godfather (a big deal in Latino culture, iykyk). He was the one who opened his home to us when my mother fled an abusive relationship. He was our only family when we moved across the country. The times we laughed and played together were as innumerable as our inside jokes.

He was one of the few examples I had of a positive masculine figure.

And suddenly, I didn't even exist to him.

I won't lie. It left a deep wound in me. It was heartbreaking.


Then, one day last year…

He sent me a text.

"Let's reconnect soon. Would love to hear about what you are doing."

Simple, but powerful.

And oh, man, the floodgates opened. I cried like a baby.

We'd had a few brief text exchanges over the previous year or two, sparked by my grandmother's surgery (she's good!) Short, simple birthday and holiday well-wishes. But this was different. This was reconciliation. This was a shift.

This was love.


And it happened exactly one month after I returned from a powerful retreat in Sedona and began a personal daily devotional practice with Mama Cacao.

Using cacao with intention and ceremony, I called upon her power to open not only my heart, but the hearts of those I was connected to.

I never could have imagined who that would include.

A few weeks later, we talked for two hours. Not surface-level catch-up. Pure love. Pure restoration. Like no time had passed at all.

Mama Cacao showed up and showed out for me.

And this is just one instance. I have more.

But if these are the thick, calcified walls she broke through for me…

What could she shift for you?


If you're ready to connect with the heart-healing medicine of Mama Cacao in a ceremony that honors her roots, culture, lineage, power, and sanctity…

Then you're ready for CACAO: Corazón.

And she's ready for you.

bliss as medicine

Why We Need Cacao Now More Than Ever With everything happening in the world right now, you might think focusing on bliss or joy is selfish. You might think a Cacao ceremony is trivial. That there's no time for it. That there are bigger, more urgent things demanding your attention. And honestly? You'd be dead wrong. In times of tension, crisis, fear, and instability, Cacao becomes more important than ever. Joy becomes the thread that holds us together. Bliss is not only still possible. It...

In November, I released a new single, playHERway. And it was so much more than just a song.It was a new outlook on life. An anthem that declared what most of us know, but few of us actually live by - less worrying, less waiting, more pleasure, and more fun. In other words, living life on your own terms. Sounds great, right? Except I never intended for this to just sound good. This song was a reflection of a major download I received in 2025... The power of pleasure. Pleasure is the portal...

Goddess healing

"We get to heal through bliss." Girl, what?! When The Goddess whispered that to me, I almost fell over. Luckily, I was already sitting on the ground. This journey was unlike any I've experienced before. Totally void of the pain, tears, struggle, and strife, it painted a completely new picture of the way we get to heal. The Goddess showed me... The feminine is here to experience bliss. And it's also the deepest, most complete way back to our wholeness. You want to calm your nervous system?...
