C: Rosario Macias listens to a recording of a Maya Angelou speech while she naps on Sunday, June 1, 2025, in her home in Daly City, California. Every morning and evening, Rosario listens to inspirational podcasts to keep her going during the day. Rosario says she’s switched from music to podcasts to help her grow as she’s started to heal from her previous relationship.

“I was just numb for all those after it ended, you know, all those years, and then suddenly everything was just too much to handle… that’s when I decided to start healing.”
