Machismo

November 29, 2021 15:00 - 9 minutes - 8.39 MB

Have you ever wondered the connection between Machismo and Mental Health? Come join me as I breakdown the Machismo culture and the impact that has on mental health and the stigmas it creates. Machismo is a learned behavior that we can collectively impact together if we begin to educate others and teach our boys differently. 

Depression and Anxiety

November 15, 2021 15:00 - 12 minutes - 12 MB

Come learn with me more about what depression and anxiety are and the differences between the two. Many times, many of us intertwine these two, yet similar, but they are different. Each of these mental health illness have stigmas associated with them in the Latinx community that hinder our healing. It is time we educate ourselves on these topics and we help break these barriers and stigmas.  If you would like to have this podcast in Spanish to share with your loved ones please request to me...

Barriers To Therapy

In this episode join me as I discuss some of the barriers we face as a Latinx community in accessing mental health services. One of the main barriers is the stigma associate with what therapy means, but if you want to know more then dive in this episode with me. I encourage you to start your own conversation about our lack of utilization of therapy with your own loved ones. 

Religion and Mental Health

October 18, 2021 14:00 - 9 minutes - 9.08 MB

On this episode, join me as I break down and discuss how religion has played a role in many of the mental health stigmas known today. As a Latina, religion was always instilled in me since I was very young and without realizing it at that time, religion was impacting how mental health was presented to me. I invite you to take a listen and start this conversation with your friends and family.
