It Doesn't Get Easier, It Gets Different with Dra. Yvette
from Latina, Presente Hosted by Yvonne Armenta
How do we know when 'playing the part' no longer serves us? Welcome to our space to say it out loud. In this episode, we're in conversation with Dra. Yvette Martinez-Vu, PhD, a first-generation, disabled, and autistic Chicana coach and consultant who is redefining what "productivity" looks like for our community. Her story is filled with reflection, laughs (like, a lot), and expressions of our Latinidad that will make us all feel connected. What we're saying out loud: Recognizing when you’re "playing a part" in professional spaces and how to step into your authentic self. Thriving in systems that weren't built for us. How childhood experiences and family dynamics shape how we show up in the world. Why protecting your energy is a non-negotiable for sustainable success. How to center joy and interdependence in a world that demands constant output. El chisme me hizo reír, llorrar, y sentirme conectada con nuestra cultura. Every episode is an opportunity to reflect on our past and connect to our present. I am so grateful for your presence and energy as we share this story. Stick to the end to hear Dra. Yvette deliver a beautiful speech and share her story just for our Latina, Presente community! Connect with Dra. Yvette: Instagram Website Book Dra.
