Description
In this episode of The Global Latin Factor Podcast, Chris sits down with Hilda “La Tamalera” for a powerful conversation about identity, healing, tradition, and purpose.
Hilda shares her journey growing up as a proud Mexican-American, the challenges she faced as a young mother, and how personal healing transformed the way she sees herself, her relationships, and her calling. She opens up about self-love, accountability, spirituality, forgiveness, and the practices that helped her reconnect with her inner strength.
The conversation also dives into the story behind Hilda La Tamalera — how a desire to honor her roots and create something meaningful led her back to tamales, a tradition passed down from her mother. What began as a way to raise money for a spiritual journey became a growing business rooted in culture, intention, and love.
