EP 11. Breaking the Cycle: Healing Wounded Masculine Dynamics & Hyper-Independence with Cande (Latina Healing & Self-Worth)

Evie Prete Season 1 Episode 11

In this powerful episode, Evie and Latina life coach Cande explore how childhood roles, hyper-independence, and wounded masculine energy shape relationships, money, and self-worth for Latinas. Learn how to break trauma cycles, cultivate safety, and step into healthier feminine-masculine dynamics. 

Cande shares her transformative journey—from growing up with the belief that she should never rely on anyone, to navigating a long-term relationship where she carried the weight of hyper-independence. Together, we unpack the deeply rooted narratives that push Latinas into hyper-masculine energy, often leading to burnout, unbalanced relationships, and emotional exhaustion.

What You’ll Hear in This Episode:

  • How generational beliefs around money and self-reliance impact Latina women
  • The difference between wounded masculine energy and healthy masculine dynamics
  • Recognizing trauma bonds and breaking free from cycles of over-functioning in relationships
  • The importance of rest, reflection, and self-awareness in healing
  • Why feeling “safe” is the foundation for true partnership and personal growth

Key Takeaways:

  • You can be grateful and still ask for more—in relationships, in your career, and in life.
  • Hyper-independence isn’t strength when it isolates you from genuine support.
  • Healing requires pausing, reflecting, and allowing yourself to feel safe enough to receive.
