In this episode of Healing Chingón, I dive into a conversation that needs more nuance: the double-edged sword of mental health awareness. While the growing openness around mental health is powerful and necessary, it’s also brought about a new challenge — the weaponization of mental health language and the unintended fragility that can arise from over-identifying with our struggles.
I reflect on how our pursuit of healing and emotional balance can sometimes keep us from building the resilience we need to truly thrive. This isn’t about invalidating anyone’s experience — it’s about asking deeper questions: Are we using healing tools to grow stronger, or to protect ourselves from discomfort? Are we honoring our journey, or hiding behind the language of self-care?
Join me for a raw, honest, and personal exploration of what it means to heal with strength, grace, and accountability.
