A Hero’s Welcome Podcast
Hosted by Liliana Baylon and Maria Laquerre Diego, both LMFT-S and RPT-S
A Hero’s Welcome is a podcast for therapists, supervisors, and mental health professionals who want honest, culturally responsive conversations about clinical work, trauma, play therapy, supervision, and the humanity of being a helper. Each episode brings practical insight, real stories, and thoughtful reflection for clinicians who want to serve with depth, humility, and courage.
We discuss mental health topics, including psychotherapy models, clinical interventions, trauma-informed practices, and the role of cultural humility in therapeutic work. Our guests share their experiences serving children, families, and communities impacted by systemic stressors, offering insights and practical tools for fellow practitioners.
Whether you're looking to deepen your understanding of culturally competent care or seeking a community that values diversity and inclusion, A Hero’s Welcome offers a space for reflection, learning, and growth.

In this episode of A Hero's Welcome Podcast, Maria Laquerre-Diego and Liliana Baylon explore feminist theory and play therapy with Jessica Cauthorne, LCSW, RPT, to empower individuals and challenge societal norms. Our hosts and guests discuss nonbinary identities, equality, and overcoming personal and systemic challenges. Using Disney movies, we examine how these stories reinforce and challenge gender norms, highlighting privileges and oppressions from a multicultural perspective. We also tackle the impact of negative beliefs and how play therapy can help heal and embrace inclusive identities. Join us for insights and stories that foster equality and understanding in today's complex world.
