Episode 18: VLM Spotlight: A Neurodiverse Familia with Gabriela Serna, Part 2
In this Viva la Mami Spotlight episode, and part 2 of 2 episodes, you will hear mi tia, Gabriela Serna’s story about having a neurodiverse familia.
If you have not listened to the first part of this two-episode VLM Spotlight series, please do me a big favor and stop this episode and make sure to go to last week’s episode, which is Episode 17 to get a full introduction about mi Tia Gaby, but to also hear about her raising neurodiverse twins.
In this week’s episode mi Tia Gaby shares her very own story about being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how she had to navigate this all while trying to heal from low self-esteem and self-compassion. She also shares how she has navigated having a neurodiverse familia and how the latinx community can overcome cultural barriers and stigmas about mental health and neurodiversity.
Hope you get so much out of my conversation with her and how she has endured so much as a neurodivergent Latina raising neurodiverse twins.
In this episode, you will hear about
- The lived experiences of being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult.
- What some of the challenges of being a neurodiverse family can bring.
- How the Latino community can overcome cultural barriers and stigmas about mental health and neurodiversity.
