In this episode of Latinas Talkin Therapy, we’re talking about the pressure of New Year’s resolutions vs. the gentler (and more sustainable) practice of setting intentions—especially in a time when so much is happening around us and impacting people on a very real level.
As Latina therapists, we’re holding space for clients who are navigating uncertainty, stress, grief, burnout, and collective overwhelm—while still being told to “set goals” and “start fresh.” We share how we talk about goal-setting with our clients in a way that’s trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and rooted in compassion rather than productivity.
We also reflect on how we’re approaching 2026, including our own intentions for the year—what we’re prioritizing, what we’re releasing, and how we’re choosing sustainability over hustle during a time that asks for a lot of us.
If you’re feeling pressure to have it all figured out by January, or wondering how to move forward when the world feels heavy, this conversation is for you 🤍
