Victoria Cortez, LMFT is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, speaker, coach, and founder of First Gen Feeler, an organization dedicated to empowering individuals to embrace their emotions, set healthy boundaries, and break unhealthy generational patterns.

As a first-generation Latina therapist and daughter of immigrants, Victoria is passionate about guiding others on their healing journeys, helping them connect with their inner selves and cultivate a life of emotional well-being so they can thrive and be present in every aspect of their lives. With a background as a musician and songwriter, she values creativity and often weaves artistic expression into her work, using it as a tool for connection and healing.

Through First Gen Feeler, she defines a "First Gen Feeler" as someone who is the first in their family to actively pursue healing, process their emotions, and disrupt unhealthy generational cycles. Her work focuses on creating a safe space for growth, self-reflection, and inner healing, with a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by first-generation individuals.

In this episode, we explore the challenges of setting boundaries during the holidays, especially when dealing with boundary guilt and navigating the pressures of a collectivist family culture. We discuss ways to break certain cycles while still honoring family traditions, and dive deep into what it can look like to grow up as a first-generation feeler.
