Unfiltered & Unapologetic: Sanando el dinero, la identidad y el sistema nervioso — incluso las partes que la cultura nos enseñó a ignorar.
Unfiltered & Unapologetic blends money, nervous system regulation, faith, and cultural healing — especially for first-gen and children of immigrants who learned survival before stability.
Hosted by Caitlin Gil-Soto (MSF candidate), this is where we rewrite narratives around money, rest, boundaries, relationships, and self-worth with emotional depth, cultural context, and practical tools.
You’ll hear conversations on:
• Faith and identity
• Nervous system patterns and emotional trauma
• Money guilt, abundance, and financial healing
• Boundaries without fear
• Rest and softness as generational repair
• What it means to break cycles with compassion, not aggression
If you’re healing yourself while honoring where you come from — this podcast was made for you.

17. Surrounded but Unseen: When Presence Doesn’t Mean Connection
Shame, silence, and loneliness — they run deep in Dominican homes. You can be in a house full of people and still feel invisible. In this episode, we break down how silence has shaped our families, our bodies, and our faith — and how we can finally break free.
Segment 1 – Loneliness in a Full House
Noise everywhere, but no space for real feelings. Loneliness doesn’t always look empty — sometimes it looks crowded.
✨ Journal Prompt: When have I felt unseen in the middle of company?
💡 Affirmation: My presence is worthy of being noticed.
Segment 2 – The Mask of “Todo Está Bien”
We learned early how to smile when we were hurting, and to cover up the cracks with “I’m fine.” But silence has a cost.
✨ Journal Prompt: When have I worn the mask of “I’m fine” instead of being honest?
💡 Affirmation: I am safe to tell the truth about how I feel.
Segment 3 – Generational Silence as Survival
Our elders kept quiet to survive dictatorships, migration, and hardship. Their silence was protection — but it left us emotionally starved.
✨ Journal Prompt: What silences did my family inherit from history, and how am I being called to break them?
💡 Affirmation: I honor where my family came from, and I choose healing where they only had survival.
Segment 4 – God in the Loneliness
Even in the silence, God was there. His presence has always filled the gaps where human connection failed us.
✨ Journal Prompt: Where have I felt most unseen, and how can I invite God into that memory?
💡 Affirmation: I am never truly alone. God sees me, hears me, and holds me.
Segment 5 – From Silence to Action
Healing happens through small, daily steps: journaling, therapy, moving your body, and daring to have honest conversations.
✨ Journal Prompt: What is one small action I can take this week to break silence in my life?
💡 Affirmation: My healing doesn’t have to be perfect — every small step counts.
Segment 6 – Breaking the Silence Together
Every act of honesty plants a seed for future generations. Silence may have been our past, but healing can be our legacy.
✨ Journal Prompt: Where can I create more honesty and connection with others?
💡 Affirmation: My voice creates freedom for me, and for those who come after me.
🙏 Closing Prayer
God, today I bring you the silence I’ve been carrying. The questions I never asked, the words I never said, the loneliness I learned to hide… (listen to the full prayer in the episode).
