Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Guide
Showing Up Real: Healing, Grief, and Finding Your Voice
Today’s episode is extra special — I’m sitting down with my Ashley Cuasquer, MA, NCC, LAC — licensed associate counselor, orgullosamente Latina, rooted in lived experience and disability awareness, and someone who shows up with so much courage.
In this episode, Ashley shares her journey of learning to show up as her yo auténtica — even when the world told her to stay quiet, small, or invisible. She opens up about growing up with a disability and living with depression.
She also shares how a toxic relationship nearly broke her spirit — but ultimately became a mirror that helped her reconnect with who she truly was. And through deep grief, especially after losing su mamá, Ashley began the slow, powerful work of healing — not just for herself, but for the generations before and after her.
Este episodio es about valentía — the kind that shows up when you choose to be seen, to be vulnerable, and to love yourself through it all.
Ashley’s story is raw, honesta, y llena de fuerza. We’re so proud to share it with you.
