    Maduras Desde Chiquitas: Learning to Be Kids Again

    Hola! In this Part two I was joined by Dayhana A. Ray, a latina licensed therapist and coach. We explored inner child healing, reparenting, and radical self-love. As first gens, many of us had to grow up quickly and learned to be responsible for so much at a young age. But what does it look like to reconnect with our younger selves and give ourselves the love, freedom, and permission to play that we may not have experienced growing up? Let us know what resonates from this episode and what question you would have liked me to ask her!?! ------------------------------------------ ⁠⁠⁠ Get to Know Today's Guest: Dayhana A.

    The Cost of Survival Mode: How the First-Gen Experience Lives in Our Bodies

    Hola! In this episode I was joined by Esmeralda Garibay, a Latina Holistic Healing Guide for a part 2 and this topic is juicy and applies to us all so ponganse las pilas and listen up!! Comment what resonates from this episode and what question you would have liked me to ask her! ------------------------------------------ ⁠⁠⁠ Get to Know Today's Guest: I am a Holistic Healing Guide certified in facilitating healing circles, with a specialization in womb healing. As a first-generation Latina, my work is deeply rooted in ancestral wisdom, embodied spirituality, and the resilience passed down through my lineage. My own journey with chronic illness became the doorway to my spiritual awakening and healing path. When conventional medicine could not offer deeper answers, I was called inward to listen to my body, my spirit, and the unseen layers of healing beyond science alone. Through this process, I learned how to alchemize pain into wisdom and reconnect with the innate intelligence of the body. Today, I hold sacred space for those seeking healing beyond the limitations of traditional systems. I weave together ritual, energy work, ancestral remembrance, and intuitive guidance infusing everything I do with intention, reverence, and a touch of magic. My mission is to support others in remembering their own power, reconnecting with their womb wisdom, and reclaiming wholeness on their own terms. ⁠Website with General Information ⁠ Tiktok - ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@_divinacollective_?_r=1&_t=ZT-93dRTYdvWcn ⁠ Instagram - ⁠https://www.instagram.com/_divinacollective_/ ⁠ ------------------------------------------ ⁠⁠⁠ If you’re craving a community of fellow souls moving through creating a more authentic, intuitive led life ... join us in SoulPrimas!
