In this episode, Sara is joined by bilingual and bicultural Licensed Psychologist, Dr. Janice Castro who is an expert in ADHD. 

Throughout our conversation, we unpack how anxiety, ADHD, and first-generation Latina culture intersect, especially for women whose symptoms are often overlooked. We talk about survival mode, hustle culture, guilt around rest, and the shame that keeps mental health struggles silent in our communities.

We also explore the powerful connection between ADHD and money specifically impulsive spending, budgeting struggles, and why these challenges aren’t personal failures but unmet support needs.
