This is the MíraLA Podcast

Hosted by Arianna Lemus, the MíraLA Podcast is a space created by women, for women — and for anyone ready to really listen. This is where real stories are shared, healing is honored, and power is reclaimed through conversation. Each episode features honest, inspiring guests who open up about their journeys, from overcoming struggle to standing in their truth, all with the goal of reminding listeners of the strength that already lives within them.

Guests have included powerful women like: Patty Ortiz, NASA aerospace engineer breaking barriers in STEM, Jocelyn “the Warrior” Rivas, fitness coach and survivor sharing her healing path, Josslyn Glenn, a powerhouse producer and advocate speaking on identity and resilience and Debby Wolfe, creator and showrunner of the NBC show, Lopez vs. Lopez.
