E-120 Reclaiming Our Roots: A First-Gen Journey Home with Sara
Episode 120
Wednesday, 4 March, 2026
We’re kicking off a brand-new season of The First Gen Madrina Podcast with this month’s theme: Reclaiming Our Roots as First Gens.In this conversation, Sara shares her personal journey of identity, healing, and what it means to grow up living in the in-between. From feeling “not Cuban enough” and “not American enough,” to navigating anxiety, ADHD, and cultural expectations around rest and healing, this episode explores the weight many first-gens carry.Sara also introduces her experience with human design and how learning she’s a Projector helped her stop seeing herself as “too much” or “not enough” and start honoring who she truly is. This episode is a reminder that reclaiming your roots doesn’t mean abandoning yourself. It means evolving, healing, and building a bridge between where you come from and where you’re going.If you are interested in having Sara speak to your organization, visit the Madrina Speaks section of her website below!Visit thefirstgenmadrina.com for the blog and additional resources.
