This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri is joined by Suyapa Ulloa to talk about breaking cycles and choosing yourself in your liberation era. Together, they explore what it means to unlearn marianismo, reclaim your voice, and navigate the grief and freedom that come with saying “no más.”This one is for you if you’ve ever felt the weight of being the eldest daughter, and you’re learning to set boundaries that honor your truth.--------------In this heart-centered conversation, Adri is joined by Suyapa Ulloa, trauma therapist, space holder, and eldest daughter healing through ancestral reconnection, to talk about what it really means to break free from the patterns we were taught to carry.From the pressure to fulfill the “perfect daughter” dream to the courage to walk away from an emotionally abusive marriage, Suyapa shares what it really looks like to liberate yourself, not just for you, but for your ancestors too.This episode is for the ones who grew up putting everyone else first. The ones healing from guilt that was never theirs to carry. The ones reclaiming their voice after years of silence.✨ Together, we talk about:What it means to be “la mayor” in a family shaped by disability and traumaHow marianismo and religious expectations shaped Suyapa’s marriageThe grief and clarity that come with post-divorce liberationReleasing guilt and redefining generational healing without needing to be a parentThe magic of ancestral validation and intuitive connectionBuilding chosen family when you’ve always been the strong oneHow therapists heal too, and why showing our humanness matters✨ Closing ReflectionSuyapa reminds us that you don’t have to be a parent to be a cycle-breaker. That liberation is allowed to feel messy, holy, and deeply human. And that healing means learning to choose yourself without apology—even when it’s scary.This is for everyone doing the hard and beautiful work of changing the family story.Tune in when you’re ready to dip your toe into the dream, and maybe be a little delulu along the way.✨ About Suyapa UlloaSuyapa Ulloa (she/her/ella) is a licensed clinical social worker, trauma and anxiety therapist, and eldest daughter of immigrant parents from Honduras and Mexico.
