In this episode of Are We Well, host Neelam Chand is joined by her dear friend Yvette Romero Coronado, a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience. Together, they explore the significance of centering healing in the pursuit of social change and the journey of rediscovering one's true self. Yvette shares her rich background as the granddaughter and daughter of Mexican migrants and highlights the wisdom of her ancestors in shaping her approach to wellness. The conversation delves into the importance of reclaiming humanity in spaces that often overlook it, along with the joy of connection and community. Join Neelam and Yvette as they discuss the power of healing and the role it plays in fostering belonging, equity, and well-being.
