The Vulnerable Latina Podcast

Working in the mental health field, Episode 18

Emiliana Gallardo Season 2 Episode 8

In today's episode I talk about what is it like working in the mental health field and how it can take a toll on our own mental health and make us feel exhausted. I also talk about how in my Mexican household when I say I'm tired my emotions on this is not valid because I don not do the physical work my family does. Navigating the mental health filed has taught me a lot of professional skills that will help me for the next professional role I want next. This week I get my first work bonus and this is something new to me because I used to work at warehouses and be an ABA for children with autism and these organizations did not give holiday money to their employees. I look forward to shopping for Christmas presents and prepare for the holidays as the days are going by so fast. If you want to follow the IG: @thevulnerablelatina
