Creativity & Resilience for Latino Immigrants (With Guest: Carmen Roman, Ph.D.)

What you'll hear in this episode: About Dr. Roman's experience of moving to the United States from Mexico and her journey of becoming a licensed psychologist in the US, specializing in working with Latinos living abroad and navigating this intercultural space.  Some of the particular stressors that Latino immigrants to the United States face as well as some of the factors and mindsets that may positively impact their immigration experience. About the importance of creativity in helping all people (but perhaps especially those living abroad) come back to their core sense of self, develop a new sense of identity, and find community abroad.    Resources mentioned in this episode: Dr. Roman mentioned the app, Insight Timer, which she recommended to help in establishing or support a mindfulness practice.
