E33: From First-Gen Dreamer to Oprah Daily: Dr. Lisette’s Journey in Latino Mental Health

What happens when a first-gen Latina not only becomes a psychologist but uses her platform to break stigma, build representation, and inspire the next generation

EMPOWERMENTE BY GINA MORENO

Podcast Episode Summary

What happens when a first-gen Latina not only becomes a psychologist but uses her platform to break stigma, build representation, and inspire the next generation — all while getting published in Oprah Daily?

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Lisette Sanchez — entrepreneur, speaker, writer, and unapologetic trailblazer — to talk about her path from a curious 7th grader to one of the few Latinas with a PhD in psychology.

We go deep into:
How childhood experiences can spark lifelong purpose.
The discernment skill that shaped her career (and how you can use it).
Why she left her “dream job” to build a business on her own terms.
How first-gen women can protect their energy while pursuing big dreams.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, future public speaker, or simply a first-gen Latina ready to step into her poder, this conversation will leave you feeling seen and unstoppable.
