Ay Mijita ✨ Embrace your raíces. Reclaim your esencia.
Ay Mijita is a podcast about coming home to yourself.
Hosted by Dora Alicia Praxedis, Ay Mijita creates space for honest conversations about healing, identity, relationships, boundaries, nervous system regulation, spirituality, ancestral wisdom, self-worth, and what it means to create a life that truly feels like your own.
This is not about becoming someone new. It is about peeling back the layers, releasing old patterns, and remembering who you are underneath the expectations, survival, hustle, guilt, and all the “shoulds.”
Through personal stories, practical tools, spiritual reflection, and meaningful conversations, Dora explores the inner work behind creating a wealthy vida — a life rich in peace, purpose, relationships, joy, freedom, presence, and infinite possibilities.
Ay Mijita is for the woman who is ready to stop abandoning herself, trust her inner wisdom, and build a life that feels aligned from the inside out.
Come as you are, mijita.
Embrace your raíces. Reclaim your esencia.
