Better Late is a cozy, unfiltered solo pod hosted by Mariela Segovia, a Venezuelan actress living, loving, and overthinking in Los Angeles. It’s part storytelling, part big sister advice, and all heart—full of real talk about dating, career pivots, cultural mashups, and growing into yourself at your own damn pace. Every Sunday, “better late” isn’t a flaw—it’s a vibe. Because spoiler: you’re not behind. You’re right on time.

EP. 9: How Is This Normal? Venezuela vs. USA Culture Shocks

In this episode of Better Late, I dive into the small, everyday things that shook me when I moved from Venezuela to the U.S.

From avocados that were basically free (because someone always had a tree), to tipping culture that went from optional to absolutely crucial, everything felt a little upside down.

Why are oysters so expensive here? Why do bathrooms have ventilators instead of windows? Why do doctors act like you’re bothering them when you’re sick? 😂

It’s all love, all laughs, and a little homesickness in this Venezuela vs. USA edition of Culture Shock Chronicles.
