106: Healing Your Inner Niña (Part 2): Releasing the Guilt you were Never Meant to Carry

If you’ve ever carried guilt for things that weren’t really your fault—or weren’t even your responsibility—this episode will speak straight to your heart.In this episode, I continue our 3-part Healing Your Inner Niña series by talking about something I know so many of us carry quietly: Guilt. Especially for those of us who were the responsible ones growing up in first-gen immigrant households, guilt became a way of life. Guilt for not doing enough, being enough, or pleasing everyone around us.I open up about how my Inner Niña learned guilt early on, from family dynamics, cultural expectations, and Catholic upbringing, and how that shaped my adult life… until I realized guilt is actually a choice.I talked about:The roots of guilt for eldest daughters and first-gen LatinasWhy guilt became our default and how it quietly drains our energyReal stories from my childhood that shaped this beliefThe moment I realized guilt wasn’t helping me anymoreWhat it means to choose a new emotional response as an adultA simple but powerful visualization you can use to start releasing guiltHow letting go creates space for freedom, joy, and real healingLet this be the permission you didn’t know you needed to stop carrying what was never yours to hold. 🩷Don’t miss our upcoming virtual event: Future Self Experience -  https://www.wendyamara.com/workwithme/p/future-self-experienceConnect with Wendy:Inspired Action WebsiteJoin Wendy's Email ListWendy’s WebsiteWendy’s InstagramWendy's LinkedInWendy's TikTokE-mail Wendy
