If a moment feels bigger than it should, there’s a reason.
You’re not ‘too sensitive.’ Your past experiences are asking for attention.
DM ‘AWARENESS’ if you want to start unpacking your triggers with self-compassion.
Save this for when you need a reminder that your feelings make sense.

"Porque lo llevas si no se va acordar?"/ "Esta muy chiquito, solo vas a batallar." /"Lo estas acostumbrando y despues ya veras."
What comentarios am I missing? How would you respond? As for me, a neutral "Talvez, pero es importante para mi." I'm not trying to argue or "responderle"

Let's work on boundary setting in a respectful way. We can work on overcoming the guilt trips and the money scarcity mentality that the generations before us had to endure. Schedule your appointment today at www.CafeDeOllaTherapy.com

"Hey, Mujer! 🌺 First-gen Latinas, we know all too well the dance of people-pleasing and the melody of our thoughts racing at a million miles an hour. It's part of our strength, pero también, it can be our kryptonite. Here are a few heart-to-heart tips to overcome the perfectionism that often walks hand in hand with our journey:

1. **Abraza el Proceso** - Embrace the messy, the imperfect, and the growth. Remember, progress over perfection. Every step forward is a victory. Remind yourself that, just like so many other things, you didn't know it all at the beginning and had to start somewhere!
2. **Dile No al 'Sí' Automático** - It’s okay to pause before saying yes. Protect your energy like the valuable tesoro it is. Try setting a boundary like "Thanks for thinking of me! Let me check my calendar and get back to you."
3. **Celebra Tus Raíces** - Your unique perspective is your superpower. Let it guide you, not just in meeting others’ expectations, but in fulfilling your own dreams.

How do you combat the haunting ghost of perfectionism? What’s one step you’ve taken today towards embracing your perfectly imperfect self? 💖 Let’s uplift each other in the comments!"

Can we play a game? If “coffee” is the answer, what do you think the question is? Speaking for myself, I’d say: What cures sleepiness and pure evil all in one cup? It’s only funny because it’s true. Now it’s your turn and the sillier your answer, the better! GO!
