EPISODE 31

It’s time to expand the definition of “medicine”.
Healed people, heal people.

Welcome back, dear HMA listeners!

Join us as we immerse ourselves in the captivating world of curanderismo.

Curanderismo is a form of traditional medicine that has its roots in the indigenous cultures of Latin America and has been passed down from generation to generation. It combines elements of herbal medicine, spirituality and energy healing to treat a variety of physical and emotional ailments.

One of the most interesting aspects of curanderismo is its holistic approach. Healers believe that body, mind, and spirit are intrinsically connected, and that illness or imbalance in one of these aspects can affect the others. Therefore, treatment focuses on restoring balance and harmony at all levels.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of welcoming "Chio" as our special guest. Chio is the owner of Sacred Semillas, a nurturing space located in Oakland, CA. At Sacred Semillas, they offer various services such as Limpias (spiritual cleansings), Retreats, Forest Bathing, Self-Care Socials, and even a Mercadito (marketplace).

In the previous episode, some of you might recall that Lizette's mother underwent surgery at the end of June, and her recovery has been quite challenging. Despite the difficulties, Lizette and her family were able to bring her mother back home. It was during this time that Lizette's mother expressed a desire for a "limpia," a spiritual cleansing. Determined to find someone trustworthy, Lizette reached out and met Chio, who played an instrumental role in their journey.

To discover the rest of the story and gain insight into the world of curanderismo, we invite you to listen to this episode. We'd love to hear your own experiences with curanderismo or if you know someone who has benefited from its practices. Share your thoughts and stories with us.

Remember, while curanderismo offers valuable healing approaches, it's always essential to seek professional medical advice.

What does it mean to heal the inner Niña (Inner Child)?

Embarking on a journey of inner healing is a powerful and transformative experience. The inner Niña represents the pure, innocent, and authentic essence of who we are. Nurturing and healing this inner Niña can lead to profound personal growth and a renewed sense of joy and peace. Here are five important areas of focus that help reconnect with our inner child, our "Niña" within:

Embracing Inner Child: Healing the inner Niña begins with embracing our inner child. It's about acknowledging the experiences, emotions, and wounds that have shaped us. By reconnecting with our childlike curiosity, playfulness, and vulnerability, we open ourselves up to profound healing and self-discovery.

Self-Compassion: Practicing self-compassion is an essential part of healing the inner Niña. It involves offering love, understanding, and forgiveness to ourselves for past hurts and mistakes. Through self-compassion, we create a safe and nurturing environment within, allowing our inner Niña to heal and flourish.

Releasing Emotional Wounds: Healing the inner Niña requires acknowledging and releasing emotional wounds. This involves exploring past traumas, patterns, and limiting beliefs that may have held us back. By facing these wounds with courage and compassion, we can begin to heal and reclaim our inner power.

Inner Healing Practices: Various practices support healing the inner Niña. Mindfulness, meditation, journaling, and creative expression can serve as powerful tools for self-reflection, inner healing, and reconnecting with our true selves. Engaging in these practices regularly nurtures our inner Niña and fosters a deep sense of inner peace.

Cultivating Self-Care: Prioritizing self-care is vital on the journey of healing the inner Niña. This involves nurturing our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Engaging in activities that bring us joy, setting healthy boundaries, and surrounding...

Do you have ADHD, depression, or anxiety?

Let's Empower Latino Minds and unveil the Hidden Realities of ADHD in our Community for Ourselves and Our Children.

May is Mental Health Awareness Month and with mental health comes a wide range of topics.
On this episode of HMA Lizette takes over the mic to talk about a topic that she has struggled with her entire life.

In today's episode, Lizette shares how she breaks generational trauma and decides to get her son tested for ADHD.

ADHD, or Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, affects individuals of all backgrounds and cultures. However, within the Latino community, the challenges associated with recognizing and diagnosing ADHD can be amplified due to cultural factors and stigma.

Lizette sheds light on ADHD within the Latino community and offers guidance for parents who suspect their child may have ADHD, aiming to promote understanding, support, and appropriate diagnosis.

Educate yourself about ADHD symptoms, assessment procedures, and available resources. By fostering understanding, overcoming these challenges, and seeking culturally competent healthcare professionals, we can ensure that children within the community receive the support they need.

Together, we can promote awareness, provide accurate information, and empower parents to advocate for their children, facilitating a path toward appropriate diagnosis, understanding, and effective management of ADHD in the Latino community.

¿Qué andan comiendo? - A Dive into Our Snack Obsessions and Picky Eaters Struggles!

Here at HMA, we believe that good food is not only important for our bodies but also for our souls. That's why we love talking about what we eat and sharing recipes with each other. In today's episode, we dive deep into the world of family snacks and meals. As women of Hispanic heritage from the Bay Area, we bring a unique perspective on the food we grew up with and the food we now cook for our own families.

In this episode, we explore our favorite home-cooked meals, from traditional family recipes to modern twists on classic dishes. We also discuss the struggles we face when feeding our picky eaters and the various techniques we've tried to make mealtime more enjoyable for everyone.

Beyond that, we dive into our own personal histories with food, sharing stories of "struggle foods" we remember from our childhoods, when money was tight or our mothers were too tired to cook. Lizette shares her own experience with how a poor diet can affect a child's ability to concentrate, and how awareness is the first step towards creating positive change.

Finally, we want to hear from you, our listeners! Share with us your tips and tricks for feeding picky eaters, or your go-to healthy snacks and meals for your family. You can send us a message or leave a comment on our social media handles, listed below. Join us on this journey of exploring the rich and delicious world of family food!
