Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Guide
This podcast fue created to be a Spanglish guide para sanar some of the unintentional heridas that come from growing up Bilingual. I will share lo que I have learned on my journey as a first generation American of Mexican decent and as a Latina mental health therapist. Everything I wish someone had shared conmigo when I first started this journey many years ago. All that comes from being "ni de aqui, ni de alla". I will explore temas que callamos, such as; Salud Mental and physical health, The Connection between our minds and our body, Familia, relationships, trauma, spirituality, Nutrition and so much more. Acompañame, porque in Spanglish se sana mejor!
Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Guide
Why We Walk Away:Entendiendo Latinx Estrangement
In this episode, we get real about family estrangement, especially in Latinx households where “la familia es sagrada” is the norm. We unpack the different stages of estrangement, the emotional weight of family trauma, and the often painful process of setting boundaries—even when it goes against everything we were taught.
This conversation is about breaking cycles, healing out loud, and redefining what familia really means.
We’re joined by Violetta, LCSW, therapist, coach, and founder of Latinx Estrangement. Violetta specializes in working with women and queer folks navigating family rupture, cultural expectations, and the journey of coming home to themselves. Her work centers healing, empowerment, and reclaiming identity on your own terms. So, if you’ve ever whispered, “I love them, but I can’t keep doing this,” this episode is for you.
