For The Girls Growing Up Between Cultures.

Growth requires shedding identities we once believed were permanent. In this episode, Zhiva opens up about the versions of herself she had to release — the survival self, the people-pleasing self, the unhealed self, the overgiving self — and how each transformation brought her closer to her true identity.This is a raw and empowering conversation for anyone in their reinvention era, learning to step into the woman they’re becoming rather than the girl they used to be. A deep, grounding episode about evolution, boundaries, and rebirth. A reminder that you can heal and still be human.

For When You Feel Like Your'e Starting Over Again.

Step into a space made for reflection, growth, and evolution. In this trailer, Zhiva shares the vision behind "Get Real With Zhi"- A home for women healing, reinventing, and reclaiming their power.

This deep-dive episode explores the real, unfiltered truth about healing: it’s not linear, it’s not aesthetic, and it definitely doesn’t erase your emotions. Zhiva breaks down the pressure to be “fully healed,” the messy middle of growth stages of life in your 20s and beyond, cultural layers of healing as a Puerto Rican/biracial woman, and the emotional relapses no one talks about. This conversation is for anyone who feels like they’re growing but still grieving, evolving but still stumbling, rebuilding but still learning how to be soft with themselves. A grounding, soulful reminder that you can heal and still be human.

In this reintroduction episode, Zhiva opens up about the evolution of Get Real With Zhi—from a space born out of survival and trauma, to a home for growth, healing, identity, and becoming. She shares the truth behind her pause, what healing has taught her, and why she’s stepping back into podcasting as a stronger, softer, more grounded woman. If you’re in a season of rediscovery or shedding old versions of yourself, this episode is your mirror. A warm, honest beginning to a new era.
