About This Podcast

🎙️ Wait… What’s Next? 


with Laura (@l_alba_z) & Amanda (@amandakbril)



 Follow the pod: @waitwhatsnextpod 


A podcast for the in-betweeners, the career shifters, the soft hustlers, and the ones figuring it out one cafecito at a time. 


Hosted by two Latinas navigating life’s plot twists. Think layoffs, identity pivots, spiritual glow-ups, and “what even is success?” moments. Wait… What’s Next? is your go-to space for real talk, cosmic timing, and gentle accountability. 


We’re talking mindfulness, burnout, identity shifts, money moves, and those random 3 a.m. Instagram spirals with laughter, honesty, and zero judgment.
It’s not self-help. It’s soft help, served with heart and a side of sass. 


✨ New episodes drop weekly.
 💬 Come for the conversation, stay for the clarity.
 ☕️ Bring your cafecito.
