Reclaiming My Voice: Healing in a World That Told Me to Hide
This week on Entre Tías y Amiguis, Adri is joined by Dr. Nancy Rodriguez to talk about visibility, healing, and voice reclamation. Together, they explore what it means to speak your truth in systems that weren’t built for you, and how reclaiming your voice can be an act of resistance, self-trust, and radical care.
This one is for you if you’ve ever felt the pressure to hide your truth and you’re learning to speak from a place of worth, not perfection.

In this heart-centered conversation, Adri is joined by Dr. Nancy Rodriguez, a clinical psychologist, plant mom, and founder of Healing Corazones, to talk about navigating visibility, breaking cycles of silence, and reclaiming your voice in life, work, and legacy.
From the pressure to strive and stay silent to planting joy in her truth, Nancy shares what it really looks like to heal while holding space for others, and why your voice, and hers, matters deeply.
This episode is for the ones who were told to stay quiet to survive. The ones breaking cycles of silence and striving. The ones learning to be seen on their own terms.
Together, we talk about:
- Reclaiming voice as a form of resistance and healing 
- Navigating higher education and mental health systems 
- Creating a practice rooted in joy, visibility, and comunidad 
- Undoing perfectionism and the pressure to overachieve 
- Building a legacy of liberation, not just survival 
Closing Reflection
Nancy reminds us that your voice is sacred, even if it shakes.
- That being seen doesn’t mean being perfect, it means being present and rooted in your truth. 
- And that healing means reclaiming your worth, even when the world has tried to convince you you’re not enough. 
- This is for everyone navigating visibility, unlearning survival, and planting something new. 
- Tune in when you’re ready to speak up, slow down, and remember you are worthy of being heard.
