E37: The Secret to Taking Up Space: Motherhood, Mentorship & Self-Trust with Dr. Mara

E37: The Secret to Taking Up Space: Motherhood, Mentorship & Self-Trust with Dr. Mara

Feeling like academia or corporate wasn’t built for you? Same, amiga. In today’s episode, Dr. Mara López, inaugural Director of the HSI Research Center at the University of Arizona, breaks down how she built belonging as a first-gen Mexicana, finished school while parenting two bebés, and why asking for help is a power move, not a weakness.


We get into:


  • What research actually does for nuestra comunidad (public health → STEM education)

  • Why representation isn’t liberation unless you can see it in the mirror

  • The myth of imposter syndrome and how to take up space con confianza

  • Motherhood + higher ed: guilt, grace, and grit

  • Practical ways to create community, mentorship, and affirmation squads

If you’ve ever felt “too much” or “not enough,” this episode is your permission slip to show up as your full self—big hoops, red lips, J’s y todo. ✨
