Part 1. Sofia is our guest and amiga on the podcast this week. By the time you are listening Cynthia and Sofia will probably be in Puerto Rico enjoying an ancestral retreat. This is a 3 part episode that will chronicle Cynthia and Sofia’s trip to Puerto Rico with more depth and reflections that can be contained in one pod episode. This episode is a sweet glimpse into how this friendship between two 1st Gen Latina Therapists happened serendipitously in the pandemic and changed both of their creative mindsets. And the adventures rippled.
