At the time of recording this episode, Bad Bunny has just made history—TWICE. First Spanish-language artist to win Album of the Year at the Grammys. Then he delivered the most-watched Super Bowl halftime show of ALL TIME. But this episode isn't just about celebrating Benito's wins (though we're absolutely doing that too). It's about what this moment means for ALL of us—especially right now, when being Latino has been demonized and criminalized in this country.

Just a heads up that this episode is a replay of a recent Instagram live I did post-superbowl and the audio reflects that in some parts.

This episode is going to shift how you think about success, abundance, and where you belong. I'm sitting down with my vecina, Rebecca Gitana Torres, a spiritual guide who rematriated to Puerto Rico after realizing the American Dream was never meant for people like us. We're talking about what holistic abundance actually means—and spoiler alert, it has nothing to do with your bank account or where you live.

Rebecca shares her journey from working a city job in the Bronx to creating “transformation cocoons” in Puerto Rico, and why so many of us have been taught the colonial lie that we need to leave our homelands to find abundance. We talk about the generational programming that keeps us chasing external validation, why you need to stop clinging to old identities and relationships, and how to tap into your magnetic energy no matter where you are. If you've been feeling stuck, unfulfilled, or like you're chasing someone else's version of success, this episode is going to give you permission to redefine everything.

WE GET INTO:

• 00:00 - Intro: Meeting My Vecina from Puerto Rico
• 02:03 - Rematriation vs. Economic Refugees: Reclaiming Our Roots
• 06:09 - How Rebecca Left Her City Job 20 Years Ago
• 08:27 - Why External Validation Will Always Leave You Empty
• 13:45 - Discovering Your Value in "Regular" Jobs
• 22:30 - The Mothership: Creating Matriarchal Safe Spaces
• 28:40 - Stop Clinging to Old Identities & Relationships
• 35:09 - What Happens in a Transformation Cocoon
• 39:17 - Start Here: Clear the Clutter First

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

• The colonial lie that you must leave your homeland to find abundance
• How to disconnect from external validation and find your internal power
• Why clinging to old identities keeps you stuck
• The importance of clearing clutter before anything else
• How to recognize and develop your spiritual gifts in any job

Welcome To Perreo x Power, a new series brought to you by Yo Quiero Dinero. In this series, we're analyzing the origins of some of the biggest stars in the Latin Urban/Reggaeton genres and pulling out all the gems that you can apply to your money, business and life! In this debut episode, I'm breaking down a 2020 interview of Rauw Alejandro, Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, and performer known for blending reggaetón with R&B, pop, and electronic sounds. Born Raúl Alejandro Ocasio Ruiz in San Juan, he grew up between Puerto Rico and the mainland U.S., with early exposure to music and a strong foundation in dance, which later became a defining part of his artistry.

He spent years releasing music and refining his craft before breaking through globally, building a reputation for high-level performance, futuristic visuals, and constant reinvention. Rather than chasing trends, Rauw has focused on skill stacking and evolution, allowing him to remain relevant in a fast-moving industry. Find out how a tragic end to his original career goals inspired Rauw to pursue music, and he went from an unknown musician to a Latin Grammy award-winning artist in less than 5 years!
