Have you ever felt like you were doing everything ârightâ⌠and still felt out of place?
Maybe you got the degree, the job, the apartment â but something was missing. Maybe your soul was craving space, freedom, and joy⌠but instead, you were stuck in traffic before sunrise, missing moments with your baby, wondering, âIs this all there is?â
If thatâs you, amiga, welcome home. Youâve found your people. đ
My Latina Countryside Journey đż
Iâm a first-generation Latina mom who did all the ârightâ things:
- âď¸ Got my bachelorâs in NYC
- âď¸ Climbed the career ladder to a six-figure job
- âď¸ Earned the respect, the paycheck, the titleâŚ
But when I became a mom, everything changed. I was living in a tiny one-bedroom studio with my newborn, and I knew we needed more space and a better life.
So I worked hard to land a better career job with a higher salary. This let us buy our dream home in the countryside, but the tradeoff was brutal â a two-hour commute each way. I was up at 4am and home by 8pm, barely seeing my baby girl.
After four months of this exhausting schedule, I faced a truth in my heart: my corporate career wasnât worth missing these precious moments with my daughter. With my boyfriendâs support, I made the biggest decision of my life â to leave my six-figure job and become a stay-at-home mom.
It was scary, but it felt right. Now, Iâm creating a life that actually feels like mine â full of music, warm meals, fresh air, and my daughterâs laughter.
And thatâs how Living With Sabor was born.
The Minimalist Latina Lifestyle đĄ
This blog is for you, mi Reina â the Latina woman who wants more than just a hustle story. Itâs for the first-gen mamawhoâs honoring her roots while building a soft life. Itâs for the woman balancing motherhood, money, and mental peaceâ and needing a community that gets it.
Here, I blend our rich Latina culture with a peaceful countryside lifestyle. That means:
⨠Raising bilingual babies with confidence
⨠Being an intentional mom (without the guilt)
⨠Making the little moments special (hello, morning cafecito!)
⨠Creating a home with warmth, sabor, and soul
⨠Building wealth as a Latina woman
⨠Running businesses that work for us, not the other way around
