Hola! In this episode I was joined by Crystal Venegas, a Latina Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. In this episode Crystal shares how her upbringing led her to believe that it was "better to be white", the ways in which it began to impact her including in motherhood, and ultimately how she broke out of it through reconnecting with her ancestral roots.Get to Know Crystal: Crystal Venegas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and cohost of the Holistic Healers Community Podcast.
