Healing Heridas: The Spanglish Podcast
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!
