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 Change: Unlocking Personal Growth and Resilience


Ever wondered if embracing change could be the key to unlocking your personal growth? This season of “Have a Cup of Johanny,” titled “I’m Growing,” kicks off with an empowering discussion on resilience and the transformative power of change. I share some of my most personal experiences, including my ambitious challenge of expanding my book into a trilogy. Through these stories, we explore how change, while often intimidating, can be a catalyst for personal development. Our reactions to different types of change shape our resilience, and by adapting and learning from new experiences, we can positively transform our lives.

Restarting the podcast after a previous failed attempt was no easy feat, but it offered invaluable lessons. From wrestling with my chaotic and unpredictable schedules, which became impossible to align, to managing unsustainable length of episodes, I’ve adapted by producing shorter, more manageable episodes and using strategic planning to maintain a sustainable workflow. This journey has not only enhanced my communication skills but also benefited my writing career and my role in my day job. In this episode, we also delve into the importance of overcoming fear as a crucial step in our resilience journey, sharing strategies for facing fears head-on to achieve empowerment and growth. Join me with your favorite cup of coffee (or whatever drink you fancy) as we embark on this journey together, one episode at a time.
