Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Guide
Paper, purpose, and the power of empathy
Ever stood in the card aisle, searching for something that actually says what you’re feeling—and walked away with nothing?
You’re not alone. Words matter, especially when it comes to mental health. The right ones can help us feel seen, supported, and understood. The wrong ones? They can make us feel even more alone.
This week, I’m joined by Ariana Arthurs—a proud Caribbean-American, first-gen mental health counselor, school counselor, and doctoral student who knows firsthand how powerful language can be in the healing process.
She’s also the creator of Threads of Harmony Paper Co., a greeting card line that puts real emotions—grief, anxiety, depression, growth—into words that actually resonate.
We talk about why language matters in mental health, how to show up with empathy, and why the standard messages we see everywhere so often miss the mark.
If you’ve ever felt like no card—or no words—really captured what you were going through, this episode is for you.
