Why does choosing yourself feel so hard?

In this clip, names something so many of us carry, the guilt that comes with saying no, setting boundaries, or doing what feels right for you.

Especially if your whole identity was built around your family role.

Oldest daughters. People pleasers. First gens. Caregivers.
We weren’t taught to choose ourselves.
We were taught to endure.

But healing means building tolerance for the discomfort of disappointing others.

And realizing that you are not wrong for wanting something different.

In these times, we’re all learning and unlearning.
More than ever, we’re being asked to challenge the façades that family dynamics, culture, and society set up for us.

The eldest daughters.
The strong friend.
The first-gen therapist.
The cycle breaker.
The one everyone turns to.

But what if being strong includes asking for help?
What if vulnerability is strength?

In this clip, reminds us that healing sometimes looks like saying,
“No, I’m not doing well actually.” That the strongest ones deserve to be held too.

🧡 You don’t have to carry it alone.

Feeling immense gratitude and the emotional hangover from all the feelings I experienced yesterday 🥹 on 11/11 (IYKYK) I got to be the keynote speaker for a group of 300 expanded learning educators, the same field that taught me about community, service, and possibility. And the cherry on top, I delivered it at the auditorium of my high school…the place where I landed after arriving from El Salvador, learning a new language, and starting over. Full circle moment. Honoring every version of me. What a life. 💛

What if reconnecting to culture isn’t just about coming back to yourself… but also about opening deeper connection in your work, your relationships, your healing?

This is why culturally responsive therapy matters.
Because language carries memory.
Because identity shapes how we feel, express, and belong.
Because sometimes, what unlocks in us… unlocks for others too.

As a follow up from today’s IG Live. Here are some definitions of Marianismo:

The term was first coined by Evelyn Stevens in 1973 to describe women’s subordinate position in Latin American society and to bring attention to the unrealistic and idealized gender-role expectations of women.

The main values of Marianismo are centered around the concepts of “familismo” (a woman should be a good wife, mother, and caretaker), “respeto” (a woman should be modest in behavior, not talk about s*x, and not engage in s*x for pleasure), and “simpática” (a woman should avoid conflicts at all costs and silence the self if necessary to maintain harmony). The gender role script of Marianimso is derived from the image of the Virgin Mary: virginally pure, non-s*xual, and self-sacrificing.

Studies have found a positive correlation between Marianismo identity and self-silencing, and between self-silencing and both anxiety and depression. Older women rated higher in Marianismo and self-silencing.

Had a great time presenting at Emerge Summit!! The conversation on Impostor Syndrome was real, vulnerable and honestly I had to model on myself some of the skills as my nerves got the best of me today. But guess what you can be prepared, and have full confidence on how dope you are and still feel a little shaky from time to time
