First-Gen Latinas Talk Empathy, Energy, and Being Highly Sensitive

Hola! Welcome to part 2 with la Dra. Miriam Martinez , this topic is so important and I am feeling so grateful that Miriam brought it to the podcast porque in our cultures, at least as FirstGens sensitivity can be looked down upon and even be perceived "as a weakness" so many of us have a distorted perception of it and mask it until we start moving toward a more authentic version of ourselves. It's a juicy convo, enjoy! Let me know what question you would ask Miriam?! -------------------------------Get to Know Today's Guest: My name is Miriam Martinez and I was born and raised in So-Cal. My mother was an immigrant from Mexico and raised myself and three siblings. Growing up, I knew I was different and always felt like I didn’t belong. I went to college at the University of Redlands and received my BA in Spanish and Psychology, MA in Counseling K-College Track, and my EdD in Leadership for Educational Justice. My educational and career journey showed me that so many 1st-generation people are torn between our cultures and traditions and the issues we now face navigating life. As a mother of three daughters, I had to make the conscious decision to heal my generational trauma as well as come to terms with being an empath, someone who believes in so much more than religion. Follow my journey on ⁠tiktok ⁠------------------------------------------ ⁠⁠⁠If you’re craving more spaces like this, Soul Prim@s is an online community where we land, reflect, and stay connected between episodes.
