E-109 Redefining Leadership as a First Gen with Sara
Welcome to a brand-new season of The First Gen Madrina Podcast! In this powerful premiere, Sara dives into the heart of this season’s theme: Redefining Leadership as a First Gen.
In this episode of The First Gen Madrina, we explore what it truly means to lead as a first-generation trailblazer. We unpack the narratives we grew up with that make leadership feel out of reach, the power of representation in showing us that we belong, and why leadership is about collaboration not carrying the weight of the world alone. I share why mental health isn’t a luxury but a leadership responsibility and invite you to imagine the kind of leader you could become if you let go of who the world told you to be.
Whether you lead in your community, your family, or your profession, this episode is your reminder: you are allowed to lead in your own way, take up space, and define leadership on your own terms.
