In this episode of the Spanish‑language podcast “Yo Pude, Tú Puedes,” host Speaker A (joined by co‑host Sophie) interviews award‑winning journalist Lourdes del Río. The conversation begins with a call to listeners facing cancer, loss, or illness, and quickly moves into Lourdes’s personal story. She recounts growing up in the small town of Añasco, Puerto Rico, studying communications, and breaking into television through a local channel that launched future media stars. After moving to Florida, she earned a master’s degree, worked at Telemundo local, and then secured a long‑term position at Univisión, becoming a prominent news anchor. Lourdes describes her breast‑cancer diagnosis, emphasizing the importance of regular mammograms and early detection. She shares her mindset at the moment of diagnosis – refusing to see herself as a victim and proactively arranging biopsies – and how she leaned on a close circle of friends she calls “Los Ángeles de Luli.” The interview explores themes of generosity, asking for help, and the interplay of talent, preparation, perseverance, and luck in career success. Lourdes stresses the value of strong self‑esteem (“I can”) and the practice of feeling, naming, and releasing frustration. She explains how the cancer experience gave her gifts: greater openness to receiving support, a deeper appreciation for life, and a philosophy of “squeezing the juice out of life.” Practical advice is offered for listeners on health screenings, building supportive networks, and adopting a fearless, proactive attitude toward challenges. The episode closes with promotion of Lourdes’s podcast “En Positivo” and her online platforms.
