Episode 3: What Does it Mean to be Latina?
Send a textBeing Latina is not one single story, it’s a spectrum of identities, cultures, and histories. In this episode, we unpack what it really means to be Latina, exploring the diversity within our comunidad and the ways systems like education often flatten us into one voice. From shared struggles like translating for our parents to shared strengths rooted in resilience, joy, and cultural pride, this episode is an invitation to reflect on identity, belonging, and representation.Link to free pdf reflection sheet: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a7nE2c4NWeK-VS_hksYpZDz4acMvR6Tt?usp=share_link Find me on insta: @deniselasocialworker

Episode 2: Collective Trauma in our Comunidad
Send a textIn this episode, we talk about the recent Supreme Court ruling that opens the door for racial profiling against Latinx communities and what that really means for our families. As first-gen daughters, we don’t just hear the news, we carry it in our bodies and homes. This episode is a space to feel that collective trauma together and remember: even if we aren’t directly impacted, we’re all impacted. And even small acts of resistance such as speaking up, sharing, refusing silence matter.Link to free pdf reflection sheet: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1a7nE2c4NWeK-VS_hksYpZDz4acMvR6Tt?usp=share_link Find me on insta: @deniselasocialworker

Intro
Send a textIn this very first episode, I’m opening up about my story as a first-generation Latina, eldest daughter, and therapist. I share what inspired me to start this podcast, the responsibility I felt helping my parents while adapting to new spaces, and the way my cultura shaped who I am today. This is a space for us, for the mujeres who carry so much, give so much, and still keep showing up with resilience.We’ll talk about representation, healing, and the unique challenges that come with being a first-gen daughter, but also about the strengths and poder we bring to every space we enter.I’m so glad you’re here, grab your cafecito and let’s start this journey together!
