Hola! In this episode I was joined by Yazmin Garcia, a Latina Artist who created Sagrario Arte Studio. This episode's topic I feel is soooo relevant to the First Gen experience and the layers that Yazmin brings in paint such a relatable picture as to why many of us move through life meeting expectations without asking why.

Let us know what resonates from this episode and what question you would have liked me to ask her!

Hola! In this episode I was joined by Irene who grew up being Atheist but as an adult had an experience that changed her life. Often times awakenings lead us to question the reality we exist within, the beliefs we've had, and that is what Irene's journey walks us through.

Comment what question you would have liked me to ask Irene and I will make sure to share them with her, enjoy!

-------------------------------

Get to Know Today's Guest: Hello, my name is Irene, Im from Mexico Michoacan. I'm someone who is still trying to figure out who she really is by diving deep into her healing journey and taking layers off everything that was taught and now it doesn't add up to the way I see life as. I hope you guys enjoy this episode as much as I did, thank you.

Hola! Welcome to part 2 with la Dra. Miriam Martinez , this topic is so important and I am feeling so grateful that Miriam brought it to the podcast porque in our cultures, at least as FirstGens sensitivity can be looked down upon and even be perceived "as a weakness" so many of us have a distorted perception of it and mask it until we start moving toward a more authentic version of ourselves. It's a juicy convo, enjoy!

Let me know what question you would ask Miriam?!

-------------------------------

Get to Know Today's Guest: My name is Miriam Martinez and I was born and raised in So-Cal. My mother was an immigrant from Mexico and raised myself and three siblings. Growing up, I knew I was different and always felt like I didn’t belong. I went to college at the University of Redlands and received my BA in Spanish and Psychology, MA in Counseling K-College Track, and my EdD in Leadership for Educational Justice.

My educational and career journey showed me that so many 1st-generation people are torn between our cultures and traditions and the issues we now face navigating life. As a mother of three daughters, I had to make the conscious decision to heal my generational trauma as well as come to terms with being an empath, someone who believes in so much more than religion.
