Episode 28: Accessing Transformation with Cynthia Santiago-Borbón

Have you ever sat with someone who made you feel like going after your creative dreams wasn’t “crazy”? Like a bigger life for you was more possible? How does a licensed psychotherapist and transformational life coach really get you to change your life and follow your big creative dreams? And what would someone like this say to the critical thinker in all of us that gawks at the idea of following our dreams when considering all of the real pain and oppression that exists in our world? In this episode, we hear from therapist, life coach and healer Cynthia Santiago-Borbón with over two decades of practice in the field. 

 

As you’ll come to understand through this conversation, Cynthia is not a pie in the sky ungrounded dreamer. No, her work is deeply rooted in anti-oppression, equity and liberation. 

 

Topics in this episode include:

• How transformation happens with clients that Cynthia has worked with
• Sustaining long term change
• Shifting from “what’s wrong with you” to “what’s right with you”
• Tapping into your gifts and “purpose” and the clues along the way
• Understanding where choice is at play in our lives
• The power of the supportive morning routine
• Why self-work is essential to connecting to your joy
• Why connecting to your joy is important for creating the world we want to live in and not the privileged perspective we might think it is
• What brings Cynthia to healing work
• Putting manifestation in context and understanding both its power and limitations
