This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri is joined by Suyapa Ulloa to talk about breaking cycles and choosing yourself in your liberation era. Together, they explore what it means to unlearn marianismo, reclaim your voice, and navigate the grief and freedom that come with saying “no más.”

This one is for you if you’ve ever felt the weight of being the eldest daughter, and you’re learning to set boundaries that honor your truth.

--------------

In this heart-centered conversation, Adri is joined by Suyapa Ulloa, trauma therapist, space holder, and eldest daughter healing through ancestral reconnection, to talk about what it really means to break free from the patterns we were taught to carry.

From the pressure to fulfill the “perfect daughter” dream to the courage to walk away from an emotionally abusive marriage, Suyapa shares what it really looks like to liberate yourself, not just for you, but for your ancestors too.

This episode is for the ones who grew up putting everyone else first. The ones healing from guilt that was never theirs to carry. The ones reclaiming their voice after years of silence.

✨ Together, we talk about:

• What it means to be “la mayor” in a family shaped by disability and trauma
• How marianismo and religious expectations shaped Suyapa’s marriage
• The grief and clarity that come with post-divorce liberation
• Releasing guilt and redefining generational healing without needing to be a parent
• The magic of ancestral validation and intuitive connection
• Building chosen family when you’ve always been the strong one
• How therapists heal too, and why showing our humanness matters

✨ Closing Reflection

Suyapa reminds us that you don’t have to be a parent to be a cycle-breaker. That liberation is allowed to feel messy, holy, and deeply human. And that healing means learning to choose yourself without apology—even when it’s scary.

This is for everyone doing the hard and beautiful work of changing the family story.

Tune in when you’re ready to dip your toe into the dream, and maybe be a little delulu along the way.

This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri is joined by Stacy Godoy, LMFT, to talk about language loss, reclamation, and coming home to yourself. Together, they explore what it means to reconnect with your culture and identity as an act of healing and resistance.

This one is for you if you’ve ever felt ashamed for not speaking Spanish and you’re learning that healing is about returning, not performing.

In this heart-centered conversation, Adri is joined by Stacy Godoy, a Los Angeles-based therapist and proud second-generation Mexicana, to talk about what it means to move from "no sabo" to "sí sabo."

From losing connection to language through assimilation and survival, to reclaiming identity through immersion, therapy, and community, Stacy shares what it really looks like to return to yourself with gentleness and courage.

This episode is for the ones who are learning to speak their mother tongue without shame. The ones piecing together their roots, one word at a time. The ones realizing that belonging isn’t lost, it’s waiting for you.

Together, we talk about:

• What sparked Stacy’s journey to learn Spanish as a second-generation Latina
• The painful therapy session that awakened her desire to reclaim her language
• How language loss is not personal failure but the result of colonization and assimilation
• What it feels like to emote in Spanish and unlock ancestral emotions through language
• How reconnecting with culture is reshaping her relationships, identity, and sense of belonging
• Why learning Spanish as an adult can be both an act of love and of resistance

Closing Reflection

Stacy reminds us that healing doesn’t always look like arriving. Sometimes it looks like beginning again.

That returning to language is also returning to love.

And that healing means honoring the stories we inherited while still choosing our own.

This is for everyone finding their way back to themselves, one palabra, one memory, one generation at a time.

Tune in when you’re ready to remember that you already belong.

This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri is joined by Dra. Terry Orozco to talk about navigating life with disability, identity, and legacy. Together, they explore what it means to hold space for your truth, ask for help, and become the support you once needed.

This one is for you if you’ve ever felt like giving up but kept going anyway, and if you’re learning to balance care for others with care for yourself.

In this heart-centered conversation, Adri is joined by Dra. Terry Orozco, academic coach, first-gen Latina, and unapologetic advocate for students navigating hard things, to talk about the quiet power of perseverance, grief, and becoming your own kind of helper.

From being underestimated and navigating ableism to earning a doctorate and launching her own business, Terry shares what it really looks like to move through guilt, grief, and burnout—and choose grace anyway.

This episode is for the ones who have carried invisible weight for years. The ones who never had a mentor like them growing up. The ones doing it their own way, even when the world doesn’t make room for them.

Together, we talk about:

• How Terry’s experience with SMA shaped her view of strength and dignity
• The power of helpers, chosen family, and breaking the rules to do the right thing
• Facing discrimination as a disabled Latina in education and the workplace
• Academic burnout, grief, and shame, and how she moved through it
• Why entrepreneurship offered the freedom to help people on her own terms

Closing Reflection

Terry reminds us that you don’t need to prove yourself to anyone but you.

That sometimes you’re not failing, you just need a nap, a pause, or a community.

And that healing means choosing softness, rest, and courage even when life gets hard. 🌿

This is for everyone learning how to be strong in a different way.
