In this episode of Mal Dormidas, we sit down with Ana María Simón, a Venezuelan cultural icon, a broadcaster, actress, and creator many of us grew up listening to. From Madrid, we toast with rum (yes, 1796) and dive headfirst into the topic at hand: heartbreak and everything it taught us about self-love, migration, reinvention, and the art of creating our own lives. We talk about her two emigrations (Caracas–Miami–Madrid), the steady but sparky romance she maintains with Madrid, and those language clashes that give us unintentional jokes when we move countries. Between laughter and truths, we land on the essentials: stop chasing other people's "yes" and start saying yes to ourselves. We recall her career in radio, theater, and television, and how she decided to produce her own projects to avoid relying on endless casting calls. We revisit her creative duos with Luis Chataing, Erika de la Vega, Enrique Lazo, and Pedro Luis Flores, and how each partnership left us with tools for the stage and for life. She also shared that she's just launched her own podcast, "We Need to Talk," inspired by women she admires and the need to turn conversation into community. Yes, we also touched on the wounds: the toxic relationships, the letters we wish we hadn't sent, and that Hollywood script that sold us that "true" love follows you to the airport. We said it without makeup: we chose who we loved, we learned from what hurt, and today we're even grateful for the loves that weren't, because they left us a map of what we no longer want. We talked about self-esteem, about stopping blurring ourselves so they won't leave us, about blocking bad vibes on social media like someone who doesn't let dirty shoes into the house, and about the peace that comes when we take charge. Among the anecdotes, there was also a nice spoiler: the story with Albi De Abreu and a theater project that's on the way. The episode closes with what we like most: friends applauding each other, collaborative networks, and an invitation to enjoy the process, because creative happiness and a bank account, yes, can walk together. If you're looking for an episode to heal, laugh, and jot down phrases that straighten your emotional spine, this is it. We took away three lessons for life: 1) a broken heart teaches limits, 2) migrating is shedding your skin, and 3) producing your own "yes" changes the game. Play it on YouTube, share it with your tribe, and subscribe to Mal Dormidas: here we talk about love, migration, career, and mental health with the honesty we need and the humor that saves us. 💡 Original Idea by: Alejandra Otero and Clara Ulrich Editing and assembly: @israelvillac Production: @carlosjelambiv @Shows_ClaraUlrich @GracieMalanga Animation: @depictionofnina Music: @frienelcontrol Recording studios: @BrainBox.work @LaComediaLocal YouTube optimization: @barbaramongou
