Welcome to Latinas Sin Miedo!

Burnout

In this episode, we have an honest conversation about burnout: what it is, how it has impacted our lives, and how the beliefs instilled in us growing up can contribute to burnout in adulthood. We reflect on the pressure to tie our worth to our productivity and the mindset shifts needed to separate our value from achievement in order to heal, create healthier boundaries, and prevent future burnout.

Redefining Expectations

In this episode, we are joined by our guest Vilma Schonwetter, who is an experienced talent acquisition and HR leader. By sharing our own lived experiences, we explore the unspoken expectations Latinas carry, how those expectations shape us as professionals, and how we can take the reins of our careers and lives by redefining those expectations on our own terms.

Unlearning the Silence

In this episode, we unpack the importance of unlearning the silence around mental health challenges many Latinas experience, and how our careers and workplaces can both shape and amplify those challenges. We explore how mental health strain can show up in professional settings; ways our cultura influences, and at times exacerbates, these realities; and the impact it has on how we navigate our careers. Through personal stories and reflection, we share lessons learned, and hope to inspire each of you to reflect and engage in more open and honest conversations about your own mental health.
