About this episode

Cat Del Carmen interviews Dr. Lisette Sanchez about navigating visibility and success as a first-generation woman.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisette Sanchez, psychologist and founder of Calathea Wellness to talk about what it really looks like to navigate visibility, success, and personal growth as a first-generation woman. We discuss perfectionism, imposter syndrome, public speaking, success guilt, and the challenge of building a life that honors both where you come from and where you want to go. It's an honest conversation about healing, self-trust, and giving yourself permission to take up space.
