Scarcity, Sofrito & Why Abuelita Does Not Let You Use the Good Towels

All about Nothing with J by Joanil Draper

Episode notes

In this episode, I dive into the scarcity mindset — that generational voice that says, “Don’t use the good towels!” or “Save the butter tub, we might need it.” From Cool Whip containers full of arroz con gandules to plastic-covered couches and inherited guilt, I break down how fear of “not enough” has shaped our lives and how to finally let it go.

It’s part therapy, part stand-up, and fully Puerto Rican Gen X realness — with a side of sass, sofrito, and self-awareness.

🎧 Tune in for laughs, nostalgia, and a little healing — because it’s time to use those good towels, mija!

Special thank you to my sister JCT and my niece BMC they edited this episode and added the music to the background!
