Your cultural foods are not the enemy! That is one of the biggest takeaways from this episode with Food and Holistic Heath Coach Naihomy Jerez. We chatted about the politics of food and wellness, how to reject racists diet culture and reclaim the cultural foods that have been vilified, and what small steps each of us can take to live a life rooted in wellness. In addition to Naihomy being a phenomenal human with so much knowledge about women's hormone health, she is also my food and health coach! I share some pretty vulnerable things in this episode that I am revealing on air for the first time.

We also talked about how scarcity can show up and derail our goals, the power of mindset, and how generational healing is part of any holistic wealth journey. It also wouldn’t be a First Gen Coach Podcast episode if I’m not tying it back to systems, so we definitely addressed climate change, white women in corporate America, and farmworker’s rights.
