Welcome to a brand-new season of The First Gen Madrina Podcast! In this powerful premiere, Sara dives into the heart of this season’s theme: Resources for First Gens.
In this episode, we’re diving into the resources we never knew existed and the ones that weren’t made accessible to us as first-gens. From therapy to scholarships to mentorship, we explore why accessing support feels so hard, and how it’s not a personal failure, it’s a systemic issue.
I share my own story of learning I was considered a first gen after graduating college, and the impact that realization had on my journey. I talk about shame, fear, burnout, and why reclaiming resources isn’t just a skill, it’s an act of resistance.
If you’ve ever felt like you had to figure it all out alone, this episode is your reminder: you don’t have to earn the right to thrive, and you don’t have to do it alone.
