If you’ve ever carried guilt for things that weren’t really your fault—or weren’t even your responsibility—this episode will speak straight to your heart.

In this episode, I continue our 3-part Healing Your Inner Niña series by talking about something I know so many of us carry quietly: Guilt. Especially for those of us who were the responsible ones growing up in first-gen immigrant households, guilt became a way of life. Guilt for not doing enough, being enough, or pleasing everyone around us.

I open up about how my Inner Niña learned guilt early on, from family dynamics, cultural expectations, and Catholic upbringing, and how that shaped my adult life… until I realized guilt is actually a choice.

I talked about:

• The roots of guilt for eldest daughters and first-gen Latinas
• Why guilt became our default and how it quietly drains our energy
• Real stories from my childhood that shaped this belief
• The moment I realized guilt wasn’t helping me anymore
• What it means to choose a new emotional response as an adult
• A simple but powerful visualization you can use to start releasing guilt
• How letting go creates space for freedom, joy, and real healing

Let this be the permission you didn’t know you needed to stop carrying what was never yours to hold. 🩷
