In this episode of Getting Real with Rueben, Rueben welcomes Tejano legend Shelly Lares for an honest and inspiring conversation about legacy, mentorship, faith, and the power of authenticity. Shelly reflects on the values that shaped her, her transition from decades of performing into mentorship and music production, and the life changing work she now does through hospice care and music therapy.

The episode also explores what it means to show up fully as yourself in every space, how Tejano music has evolved over generations, and why preserving culture while creating room for growth is so important. From leadership and advocacy to healing through music, this conversation is full of wisdom, heart, and purpose.

This Women’s History Month, I’m sitting down with Clarissa Gamboa for one of the most honest conversations we’ve had on Getting Real.

At 19, she became a mom.
She navigated single motherhood, government assistance, shame, survival mode — and the pressure to “do life in the right order.”

She built a career in real estate, title, and mortgage. She climbed. She achieved. She provided.

But somewhere along the way, hustle culture started costing her time with her family.

Then came the bold decision: sell the cars, leave Texas, and move her entire family to Puerto Rico with no real plan — just faith and a feeling.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Growing up fast
• Being a teen mom and finding your power
• Chasing success vs. defining it
• Marriage, motherhood, and missed moments
• Slowing down in Puerto Rico
• Rebuilding life and business on your own terms
• Trusting your gut when it makes no logical sense

This is a conversation about healing, courage, family, and rewriting your story.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in survival mode… if you’ve ever felt behind… if you’ve ever wondered what happens when you bet on yourself — this one’s for you.
