Well, hello again!

Crazy how fast life changes right? My name is Heidi and if you know from tiktok then you’ll know a bit about my journey, but if you’re new here, welcome!

I’m a Mexican-American born & raised in the suburbs of Chicago, but my roots are from Jalisco Mexico, where I currently call home 🏠

My social media journey began with sharing “days in the life of a latina working in tech with no degree” then it transitioned into “ditching my tech job to open a coffee shop in Mexico” to going through weight-loss surgery and now just managing getting through my day-to-day as a Mexican-American in a small town.

One of the things that I’ve learned throughout this journey is to just be myself, and post what means most to me, so thank you for being here, I hope you stay a while!

... Read moreIt’s incredible how much life can shift, and I'm so glad you're here to dive deeper into the journey that shapes what I share, especially for those curious about my "Sunnie Dayz videos"! My original post just scratched the surface, but there’s so much more to unpack about these incredible chapters. One of the biggest leaps was leaving my tech career to open a coffee shop in Jalisco, Mexico. It wasn't just a career change; it was a complete lifestyle overhaul. Imagine trading corporate meetings for the aroma of freshly ground coffee and the vibrant sounds of a bustling Mexican town. The decision stemmed from a deep desire for connection and creating something tangible, a community hub. The initial days were a whirlwind of learning about local suppliers, mastering new brewing techniques, and navigating cultural nuances in business. There were moments of doubt, sure, but seeing people gather, laugh, and enjoy a cup of coffee I helped create? Absolutely priceless. It taught me resilience and the importance of following a passion, even when it feels terrifying. Then came the incredibly personal journey of weight-loss surgery. This wasn't just about physical transformation; it was about reclaiming my health and redefining my relationship with myself. It brought its own set of challenges, both physical recovery and mental adjustments. Learning to nourish my body in a new way, embracing self-care, and understanding that true strength comes from within—these were profound lessons. It's an ongoing journey of self-discovery and acceptance, and sharing it openly has been a powerful experience for me, hoping to inspire anyone else walking a similar path. Now, living as a Mexican-American in a small town in Jalisco, where my roots run deep, is a daily adventure. It's a beautiful blend of cultures. One day I might be exploring a local market, admiring intricate handicrafts, and another, I'm finding beauty in simple moments, perhaps walking through a beautifully crafted, decorative tunnel adorned with bamboo, sparkling lights, and lush greenery – places that feel so uniquely 'me,' much like how I might dress in a comfortable black dress, a chic leather blazer, and sturdy boots, perhaps with a colorful scarf to add a touch of personality. These everyday scenes, the rich traditions, the warmth of the community, and even the simple act of getting to know my neighbors, all contribute to the tapestry of my life here. It’s about finding balance, embracing authenticity, and appreciating the richness that comes from living true to yourself. So, whether you're here for the coffee shop stories, the raw honesty of a health journey, or just to see what life is like for a Mexican-American embracing her heritage, thank you for joining me. Each day is a learning experience, and I'm excited to keep sharing these 'Sunnie Dayz' with you, whatever form they take.
