EP 21 Sex-Ed As Part Of Abuse Prevention Education

In this week's episode, I'm joined by psychotherapist Nicole Schiener to talk about the power of anger and how we can use it as transformative energy instead of a toxic one that depletes us.We talked about:The conflicted relationship that many survivors and Black, Indigenous and People of Colour have with anger because of their trauma.Why is it so important for people with trauma to process their anger and not just 'get over it'.What survivors who are afraid of their anger can do, particularly if they're not sure how to express it.What reclaiming and transforming anger into healing looks like on a personal and collective level.How most survivors are told to get over things that happened a long time ago and how one can respond to these kinds of comments?What a humble warrior means and how we can all be a warrior for others.This was most definitely an empowering episode and I can't wait for you to hear it!ABOUT NICOLE SCHIENER:Nicole Schiener is a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, Canada, and a published author.

EP 20 How Our Anger Can be transformative instead of toxic

It is for this reason that I invited Trauma Psychotherapist Adriana Alejandre to the podcast.In this episode we talk about the taboo that continues to surround therapy and why it matters that we all shift our perspectives, now more than ever.We also discussed why parents, particularly in the Latinx community, are still reluctant to seek mental health support, and also, how they can take steps to become more receptive to the idea.We dived into what parents, caregivers or any adult can do when a child discloses abuse so that they don't re-traumatize the child, including themselves if they are survivors.We also talked about why it's so important for kids to get the right mental health support after a disclosure so that they can lessen the long term negative effects that abuse can have and begin to heal sooner, which can dramatically improve their ability to live a happier life.There were so many little gems as well that will make you take pause and think about how you can support those in your life who are survivors or if you're a parent and never thought about these topics.I hope you take steps consistently to care for your mental health in these times of crisis so that you can be well, stay well and support your family through this time.ABOUT ADRIANA ALENJANDRE:Adriana Alejandre is a Trauma Psychotherapist and Speaker from Los Angeles, California.

EP 18: From Trauma to Empowerment: Achieving Health & Wellness

This week, in this special bonus episode, I'm excited to share the collaboration project!Denise Soler Cox, host of the Self-ish Latina Podcast and co-founder of Project Eñye, plus Rita Bautista, host of the Empowerment and All That Podcast and Nicole Hernandez of The Daring Kind Podcast, joined forces to bring this conversation to the forefront. They invited Linda Garcia, Brenda Gonzales and myself to contribute to the conversation and share our perspectives on this controversy.For me, this was timely, as I am in the process of beginning to write my own book. In fact, I recently was selected as a scholarship winner for the Hay House Diverse Wisdom Initiative Program, that is actively working to support and nurture writers of colour.So this issue, is very close to home for me, because the publishing industry has taken note. In fact, Hay House is in it's second round of this initiative now, and it gives me hope. To me, this issue of diversity, and representation is very important on many levels. And I think these deep dive conversations are necessary so that we can move the needle in the right direction. This podcast was recorded a few weeks ago, before the craziness of COVID-19, and we had hoped to release this episode last week, but waited. We felt it was ok now because we know people are in need of some positivity, reflection and direction to go somewhere from here.In this episode, we talk about: ● Linda (Luz Warrior) discusses what relationships were dampened by this book and how she used her work in journalism to investigate and evaluate the novel. ● Brenda touches on the ways American Dirt is a wake-up call for publishers, book lovers, and allies. ● Rosalia dives into the misrepresented narrative of Latinx culture and exaggerated characters within the novel. ● Rita shares a personal story about how American Dirt had an effect on her own life and speaks on what the controversy will do for Jeanine as an artist. ● As group we discuss our own Latinidad and feelings of “enoughness” within the Latinx community.  ● Finally, I give a sneak peek into our next film and how American Dirt raises questions and fears for me during the process.  Follow these amazing women on their podcasts here:Denise Soler Cox – The Self-ish LatinaRita Bautista – Empowerment and All ThatNicole Hernandez – The Daring KindBrenda Gonzales – Tamarindo PodcastLinda Garcia aka Luz Warrior – Let There Be Luz Podcast
