For years, I suffered from excruciating periods—crippling cramps, mood swings that made me feel like a stranger in my own body, and days lost to lying in bed, unable to function. I thought it was just my fate, something I had to endure as a woman. But as I dove deeper into understanding my body, I realized that hormone balance plays a crucial role in our overall well-being, and being proactive with my diet and supplements before my cycle has made a world of difference. Once I became hyper-aware of where I was in my cycle, I began to tailor my nutrition, lifestyle, and supplementation accordingly. This shift helped regulate my mood, reduce cramping, and bring a sense of balance I never thought possible.

At 323 Visions, we believe in the healing power of nature, spirit, and community. Our dream is to create 323 Visions Botanica—a sacred space where people can connect with the medicine of Mother Earth, rediscover their own power and magic, and keep ancestral traditions alive. This vision is rooted in deep respect for the botanica tradition, the wisdom of the healers who came before us, and the need for spaces where people can find healing outside of modern Western medicine.

Tarot has been around for centuries, yet it remains one of the most misunderstood spiritual tools. Thanks to Hollywood portrayals and lingering superstitions, many people associate tarot with fortune-telling, ominous predictions, or even fear-based beliefs.

Energy is everywhere. It flows through us, around us, and within all things. But just as our physical spaces accumulate dust, our energetic bodies and environments can gather stagnant or heavy energy that needs clearing. At 323 Visions, we integrate sound and sacred smoke into our energy work to help shift, cleanse, and harmonize these frequencies. We also strive to help you integrate these tools into your daily living!

Spirituality is often seen as a journey of healing, enlightenment, and positivity—a path toward finding peace and inner balance. But what happens when that pursuit of light becomes so extreme that it blinds us to reality? In the world of modern spirituality, there’s a growing trend of toxic positivity—the belief that we must always be positive, always high-vibe, and never acknowledge pain, struggle, or darkness. While optimism is a powerful tool, denying the full spectrum of human experience can do more harm than good.

Puerto Ricans have a deep and beautiful culture, shaped by a mix of Taíno, African, and Spanish influences. But for many of us who grew up in predominantly white neighborhoods in the U.S., that connection to our roots can feel distant, even lost. Why does this happen? Is it a conscious choice, or are there larger forces at play that push us away from our culture? Honestly, it feels like a mix of both.
