The Ordinary Bruja

For fans of Mexican Gothic and The Inheritance of Orquídea Divina, The Ordinary Bruja is a psychological horror and magical realism novel about grief, ancestral secrets, Dominican brujería, and one woman’s fight to reclaim the magic her family tried to bury.

When strange messages appear in mirrors, and the scent of cigar smoke follows her through her small Ohio hometown, Marisol Espinal must confront the ghosts of her past, the truth about her mother’s death, and the family curse waiting for her on Hallowthorn Hill.

Her family buried the magic. Now it wants out.

Embracing Self-Love and Authenticity: A Journey of Personal Growth and Rebellion


Embarking on a transformative journey often starts from within, and that’s exactly where this new season, “I’m Growing,” brings us. Weaving together personal stories with lessons from Raquel Reichard’s “Self Care for Latinas: 100+ Ways to Prioritize and Rejuvenate,” I delve into the profound realization that self-love is an act of rebellion, especially within a culture that often nudges us toward self-sacrifice. From recounting the awkwardness of my nerdy youth to celebrating my adult adoration for Hello Kitty, this season is a heartfelt exploration of authenticity and the courage it takes to be true to oneself.

As your host, I’m thrilled to share not only my own authentic journey but also the importance of genuine connection and self-respect. This episode isn’t solely about my transformation from a self-doubting individual into a happily married person who’s learned to cherish her quirks—it’s also an open invitation for you to join the conversation. By sharing your own experiences, we can foster a community that values every step of our growth. To those who’ve ever felt the pressure to conform, this is a celebration of our true selves, an encouragement to live unapologetically, and a reminder that the treasures in life are those who love us for who we truly are.
