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.

19. Soul Tired: The Exhaustion We Inherit
Sometimes it’s not just being tired — it’s being soul tired. The kind of exhaustion that seeps into your body, your mind, and your spirit.
In Dominican culture, we’ve normalized this weight. Endless shifts. Smiling through pain. Always available. We call it responsibility, but many times it’s inherited exhaustion.
This episode is about recognizing that exhaustion, uncovering its cultural and historical roots, and choosing restoration over survival. Because being soul tired is not your destiny — healing is.
🔑 Segments
Intro
Why being soul tired is more than physical tiredness.
✨ Journal Prompt: When was the last time I said “I’m fine” but deep down I was empty?
💡 Affirmation: Naming my exhaustion is not weakness — it’s the beginning of my healing.
Segment 1: What Is Burnout, Really?
The collapse that happens when you’ve been in survival mode too long — body, mind, and spirit.
✨ Journal Prompt: What subtle ways is burnout showing up in my body, emotions, and spirit?
💡 Affirmation: I give myself permission to notice when survival has taken too much from me.
Segment 2: The Roots of Burnout in Dominican Culture
From dictatorship to migration, how exhaustion became a cultural inheritance.
✨ Journal Prompt: What beliefs about work and sacrifice did I inherit that I can now release?
💡 Affirmation: I honor my ancestors not by repeating their exhaustion, but by choosing peace.
Segment 3: Recognizing Burnout in Ourselves
How it disguises itself as responsibility but feels like emptiness, resentment, or illness.
✨ Journal Prompt: Where have I mistaken burnout for responsibility, duty, or love?
💡 Affirmation: My exhaustion is not proof of my worth. My peace is.
Segment 4: Shifting from Survival to Restoration
Rest as resistance. Boundaries as love. Living beyond survival mode.
✨ Journal Prompt: Where can I choose rest without guilt — even in a small way today?
💡 Affirmation: I honor my ancestors not by carrying their exhaustion, but by choosing restoration.
Segment 5: Reclaiming Joy & Energy
Joy as medicine. Joy as revolution. Healing through freedom, laughter, and softness.
✨ Journal Prompt: What simple joy can I choose this week without guilt, even if it feels small?
💡 Affirmation: Joy is my birthright, and I allow myself to embrace it fully.
🙏 Closing Prayer
“God, today I bring you my exhaustion, the kind that runs deeper than my body, the kind that touches my soul. Teach me that rest is holy. Show me that joy is medicine. Guide me to honor my ancestors not by repeating their struggles, but by living in the freedom they dreamed of for me. Let my boundaries be an act of love. Let my rest be an act of resistance. And let my joy be an act of worship. Amen.”
