Glorelys Mora and Sasha Merci, two Dominican-American best friends and comedians from New York, co-host the Morir Soñando Podcast — a bilingual, unfiltered, culture-rich comedy podcast built on authenticity, laughter, and community.
The podcast is an extension of their comedy brand Morir Soñando, originally launched as a comedy show in 2019 to uplift Dominican voices in the comedy world and provide space for stories that mainstream platforms often overlook.
The show digs into the Dominican-American and broader Afro-Latino experience, reflecting on cultural nuances, bicultural identity, family expectations, generational differences, and what it means to belong between backgrounds. Hosts talk about experiences growing up in Dominican households in the U.S., navigating expectations around success, family, dating, and culture.
The podcast blends raw humor with candid conversations — nothing is off limits. Glorelys and Sasha riff on everyday life topics like relationships, toxic traits, cringe boyfriends, adulting challenges (e.g., diligencias, life admin), personal growth, spirituality, and more, all while delivering plenty of laughs. Their humor is deeply caught up in real life and the awkwardness, contradictions, and chaos that come with it.
Beyond punchlines, the show creates a space for healing, connection, and shared experience — especially for listeners who feel seen by the anecdotes and cultural reflections. They speak to the immigrant experience, feeling “not enough” of either culture, and finding pride in identity through humor rather than through assimilation.
This week, Glory and Sasha talk about being similar but different—their career paths, first jobs, burnout, and what it’s really like building something without a clear blueprint.
They get into starting early, working manually, and navigating industries where women don’t always get credit for what they create. The conversation moves through rejection, masking at work, office politics, ego, and the moment you realize you can’t (and shouldn’t) do everything alone. From timing and “seasons” to culture, discipline, chaos days, and believing in yourself when there’s no validation, this episode is about showing up anyway—even when no one is watching, clapping, or choosing you.
It’s honest, funny, and grounding—especially for anyone who’s building something from scratch, questioning their path, or learning how to trust their own vision without permission.
