59. First-Gen Women: Cultural Health, Childhood Foods, & Burnout w/ Mariela De La Mora

Send Naihomy a text!💕Struggling to navigate the maze of health and wellness as a first-generation individual? Leadership and business coach Mariela de la Mora joins us to unpack the unique challenges faced by daughters of immigrants. Discover how cultural pressures can lead to burnout and disassociation, especially when confronting the scarcity mindset around food and resources. Mariela shares her powerful journey of empowering first-gen women to reclaim their voice and autonomy, offering insights into fostering a deeper connection with oneself and embracing a holistic approach to wellness.Take a nostalgic trip back to the 90s as we dissect the powerful role marketing played in shaping our childhood food memories. From Sunny D to Lunchables, and the excitement of a McDonald's visit, we explore how these cleverly marketed products forged deep emotional ties that often persist into adulthood. Learn about the broader implications these childhood experiences have on current food choices and how breaking free from these ingrained emotional associations can be a challenge, but a necessary one for better health.Finally, we challenge the productivity mindset that views the body as something to overcome. Many first-generation women of color find themselves in a cycle of burnout, driven by internal beliefs even when circumstances change. Tune in as we emphasize the importance of listening to your body's signals and redefining success and self-worth. From personal anecdotes to societal reflections, we explore the necessity of reevaluating self-care practices amidst cultural expectations. Let's honor ourselves and model self-care for the next generation, moving towards a life aligned with personal values and well-being.Connect with Marielawww.instagram.com/mariela.delamorawww.marieladelamora.comwww.linkedin.com/in/marieladelamora Thank you so much for listening!Visit my website & sign up for my newsletterBlogFollow me on Instagram
