Why Mexico Feels Like Grief and Healing at the Same Time.

Going back to Mexico hits different when you’re first-gen.

In this episode, my sister Viviann and I talk about why Mexico can feel like grief and healing at the same time — why our bodies soften there, why our hearts ache, and why being in a place that feels like home can also remind you of everything you didn’t get to have.

We talk about:
• missing a life you never fully lived
• the quiet grief of being in between cultures
• why Mexico feels regulating to the nervous system
• and how healing doesn’t always feel “light” — sometimes it feels like remembering

If you’ve ever gone back and felt comfort, sadness, belonging, and loss all at once… this episode is for you.

You’re not broken. You’re grieving something sacred.
