EP. 11 Breaking the Cycle - How Cande Healed from Wounded Masculine Dynamics after Calling Off an Engagement

Evie Prete Season 1 Episode 11

In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with Cande from Siempre Evolving, a Latina life coach and blogger dedicated to self-development, spirituality, and conscious growth. Together, we unpack the deeply rooted narratives that push Latinas into hyper-masculine energy, often leading to burnout, unbalanced relationships, and emotional exhaustion.

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. We dive into how childhood experiences shaped our ideas of self-worth, relationships, and financial security, and how stepping into our feminine energy isn’t about weakness—it’s about reclaiming balance, trust, and authenticity.

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.
