Sana Sana Colita de Trauma: Healing Generational Wounds

In this final episode of Season 1 of Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri sits down with her dear friend Andrea Vargas, LMFT, for a heartfelt conversation on the unexpected paths life takes us on, healing generational wounds, and learning to trust the process. Andrea shares her journey from aspiring accountant to therapist, the lessons she's learned along the way, and how our families, cultures, and inner voices shape our healing.

Together, Adri and Andrea reflect on what it means to navigate life as first-gen Latinas, the challenges of balancing our past and future, and the importance of choosing healing—both for ourselves and for those who come after us.

About our Amiguis:

Andrea Vargas is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and the creator of Sana Sana Colita de Trauma, an Instagram platform offering mental health resources for the Latino community, with an emphasis on Spanish-language accessibility. Andrea specializes in supporting first-gen individuals, immigrants, and their families as they navigate generational trauma and healing.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

How Andrea’s journey from business to therapy unfolded unexpectedly
The impact of assimilation, acculturation, and identity on our mental health
How first-gens navigate the contradictions of adulthood and family expectations
The role of chosen family and community in healing
Why dismantling inherited narratives is key to self-discovery
How we can invite our parents and elders into mental health conversations

In Andrea's Words::

"We don’t just grieve what happens; we grieve what doesn’t happen. Healing isn’t about erasing pain—it’s about making space for something different."
