Episode 23-Unprepared for Our Feelings with Amapola Ramirez- La Chicana Therapist

In this episode, we sit down with Amapola Ramirez, MS, MSW — also known online as La Chicana Therapist — a powerhouse of compassion, community, and (let’s be honest) emotional labor.Amapola shares what inspired her to step into social work and mental health advocacy, how deeply she’s involved in supporting our local community, and how she uses TikTok and Instagram to spread awareness, resources, and real-talk about mental wellness.We dive into the community events she organizes to help make mental health support more accessible, why showing up matters, and how small actions can create big change. Plus — because we had to ask — she gives us the inside scoop on how often she’s providing free therapy for her husband (spoiler: that man is living on the premium plan).It’s an honest, inspiring conversation about service, self-care, and what it really takes to uplift a community — with laughs along the way, of course.
