E-111 Resiliency as a First Gen with Sara
In this first episode of the new season of The First Gen Madrina Podcast, we’re diving into a theme that has been heavy on my heart yet igniting my spirit: Resiliency as a First Gen.
As first-gens, we’re often praised for being “strong,” “pushing through,” and “making it happen no matter what.” However, behind the applause, resiliency can sometimes feel less like empowerment and more like survival. In this conversation, I get real about my own journey with resiliency: the costs, the burnout, and the moments of silence I carried. Together, we’ll explore what it means to move beyond glorifying struggle and toward redefining resiliency as healing, joy, and community.
