In this powerful episode, we sit down with Cynthia Flores, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, speaker, and host of the Heal & Manifest Podcast. A leading voice in the Latinx/e mental health space, Cynthia shares her journey and the work she does to support first-generation cycle breakers—especially Latinas—on their path to healing and self-discovery.
We talk about:
✨ The unspoken rule to stay quiet at home & school
✨ Navigating the educational system as a first-gen student
✨ Growing up in a monolingual Spanish-speaking home
✨ The power of radical acceptance & surrender
✨ And how healing allows us to take up space unapologetically 💫
Whether you're navigating generational trauma, seeking healthier relationships, or learning to embrace your full voice—this episode is for you.
