Welcome y Bienvenidos.
You can start here.
Cuídate was birthed in the midst of a pandemic.
As the world walked through unknown waters
and we all found ourselves returning home,
this gentle reminder kept echoing in my mind:
Cuídate.
Take care.
I could hear my mom and dad say it softly at the end of every phone call.
A sacred benediction stitched into ordinary moments.
Cuídate.
Take Care.
I began saying it to myself,
especially in the tender spaces where grief made its way back in.
Cuídate became more than a phrase.
It became an anthem for my soul.
It encouraged me to take bold steps toward my healing.
To embrace my full self.
And truly make the decision to take care even if it feels foreign to me.
These days Cuídate continues to be a sweet melody in my ear.
It continues to be a reminder to take good care.
A call to tend my inner garden.
& continue using the “losses” in my life, as lessons for the future.
So here I am, taking full advantage of this space to share my story,
in hopes that you, too, will practice the art of taking care.
A teeny tiny introduction from me:
〰️ I am a resilient woman.
〰️ I am constantly evolving.
〰️ I am a multifaceted artist.
〰️ I am a compassionate being.
〰️ I am a gentle soul who feels deeply and cares wholeheartedly.
〰️ I am a lover of people.
〰️ I am passionate about encouraging others.
〰️ I am wonderfully and beautifully made.
〰️ I am a proud twin mama.
I am Josefina, and I am so grateful you are sharing this space, this story, and this sacred invitation to heal. Make yourself at home, or like my mother says, a la orden.
Now it’s your turn. Who are you? Share in the Comments an affirmation that describes you. And while you’re at it, answer the poll and tell me what you’d like more of.
And hey, Cuídate.




I love the word "cuidate" the word carries so much love, compassion, understanding. Thank you for sharing this.
I love the title ‘Cuidate’, that’s what brought me here and to be honest, it’s a word I’ve barely paid attention to. It’s said on auto pilot. But after reading this I think I’ll say it with more intentionality now.
I’m a woman discovering, embracing and slowly loving the woman she’s become postpartum.
Cuidate.❤️
