Ep. 27 - Latinas Moving from Self-Sabotage to Self-Mastery with Ruby Garcia
Ruby Garcia became fascinated with how culture influences leadership, and her work has focused on this topic. She is a coach and has combined her coaching knowledge with her Latina roots to provide insight into how culture impacts leadership. Ruby's interest in this area began when she worked with a coach who dismissed her family dynamics as just a story she told herself. So she created her Latina coaching business to support Latinas moving from self-sabotage to self-mastery.
Here is the chisme we share:
Self-care is grounded, and for Ruby, that's connecting to nature. So I spend at least an hour a day every day walking, focused on what is out there
T importance of boundaries in a collective culture, such as Latine culture. She explains that it can be difficult to distinguish what belongs to an individual versus what belongs to their family or household.
The works to develop the skill of identifying her feelings and establishing boundaries due to her own family's dysfunction.
Sharing experiences of going against traditional family values and the pushback that you may receive from your family

Ep 26. - BIPOC Mental Health Needs Culturally Humble Therapists
Join Kelly in a chat with a therapist Adora Chun Du, who discusses the lack of cultural diversity in the current therapy model, which is predominantly based on Western culture and ideals. She notes that this does not fit with non-Western cultures and societies. Adora promotes the need for different perspectives in therapy and a different way to conceptualize cultural differences for therapists.

Ep. 25 - Yo, I Felt Like a Bad Parent with Kelly Alvarado-Young
Hey, amiga, today’s episode is a solo cast. This is a chance for you and me to share a cafecito while we talk about all the things de la vida. Let's talk about feeling like failures as parents. There are so many things that I try to do, from working full-time, caring for my family, running a business, and caring for my son. Sometimes there are days when I feel like I cannot do it all.
Here is the chisme:
El sweet nene lindo was sick this weekend, which threw a wrench in my planning.
Reminders to self-included focusing on my son's needs
As a recovering perfecta (https://www.labregawellness.com/quiz), I don't have to get it done. Done is better than perfect.
Difficult moments have given me more appreciation, such as being able to sell our home and move to be closer to family.
Remember, amiga:
We are not perfect and can't be perfect all the time. Sometimes we need to sit in the feels so that we can bounce from the super lows to the super highs.
The season might feel really messy, pero you are not alone in the struggle. Keep asking for help. It takes a village to make it.
