They Labeled Me, So I Lived Like it

Ever realize how the roles we were given growing up — the strong one, the quiet one, the fixer, buena/o para nada, the rebel — start to shape how we show up in life? 

Sometimes we don’t even notice we’re still living from someone else’s definition of who we are.

In this episode, we talk about how easy it is to internalize the labels our families gave us and mistake them for our identity. How “you’ve always been like that” can become a prison instead of a truth. And how healing starts when you finally ask yourself: Who would I be without the label?

If you’ve ever felt trapped by expectations, misunderstood by family, or tired of proving you’re more than the role they assigned you — this one’s for you.
