TAKING UP SPACE: A Latina Psychologist Talks About Overcoming Self-Doubt
In this episode of She Is Mother, Dr. Charleanea interviews a former client whom she has coached for several years, Esperansa Cervantes, aka Espi.
Since middle school, Espi has committed herself to being a champion of opportunity for low-income people of color in her community in Colorado, creating a program at 13 to save her middle school from being shut down.
However, even today, Espi struggles with taking up space and breaking out of “playing small,” something she’s had to do her entire life. Dr. Charleanea guides her through a conversation about overcoming self-doubt once and for all and owning yourself as a woman of color.
In her podcast, Dr. Charleanea Arellano, a psychologist & board-certified life coach with over 30 years of experience, dives into the real shit we face every day by helping us transform our struggles into powerful stories of growth and resilience.
