Raices, Corazon y Alas
For the Latina building her career- and carrying invisible weight.
Are you an early career Latina professional feeling depleted by the constant pressure to succeed while feeling lost and alone?
You worked hard to get to where you are, and on the outside it looks like you have made it. But the reality is that you are struggling internally, and feeling like you are the only one feeling this way.
Join me for an 8-week transformational circle designed to support you in building sustainable success without abandoning yourself.
Raices, Corazon Y Alas (Roots, Heart, and Wings) is exactly what it sounds like: a place to stay rooted in who you are, tend to what your heart is carrying, and find the wings to keep building the career you’re meant for.
You’re not just building a career - you’re honoring every sacrifice your family made to give you this chance. That is a beautiful thing, and it is also an enormous weight to carry.
And no one prepared you for this part: The pressure to succeed not just for yourself, but for everyone who sacrificed so you could be here. The guilt of wanting more. The exhaustion of code-switching. The loneliness of being in rooms where no one else carries what you carry.
This circle was made for that part.
In this cohort, you’ll gain tools, community, and the clarity that comes from finally being in a room where you don’t have to translate your experience.
*Applications close Sept 12th * Fall 2026 cohort begins September 23rd
This circle is for you if:
You are an early career Latina professional and you feel the weight of having to prove yourself.
You carry the cultural expectations of your family alongside the demands of your professional life, and the tension is exhausting.
You feel like you’re constantly performing a version of yourself that was built for everyone else’s comfort.
You’re tired of over-functioning, over-explaining, and shrinking yourself to fit spaces that weren’t designed for you.
You’re ready to be in community with other Latinas who actually get it- without having to translate your experience.
Lo que haremos juntas:
Name and release the inherited stories about who gets to succeed, and who has to sacrifice everything to get there.
Have honest, unfiltered conversations about the guilt, the exhaustion, and the pressure that comes with defying societal expectations.
Build the skill of setting boundaries without the guilt spiral: with your boss, your family and yourself.
Redefine success on your own terms, rooted in who you are rather than who you’ve had to perform.
Create intentional connections and build community with like-minded women.
This circle is not about fixing you. It is about unlearning what was meant to confine you in the first place. It is about redefining success, not as survival, not as over-performance, but as something sustainable, aligned, and deeply yours.
Each participant will receive a thoughtfully designed companion workbook to support integration, reflection, and practical application throughout the 8 weeks.

A Note from Dra. Nancy
I built Raices, Corazon y Alas because I, too, have struggled with constantly being in spaces where I felt invisible. For a long time, I didn’t have the language for what it felt like to succeed on the outside while depleting myself on the inside- to carry my family’s sacrifice as both an honor and a weight.
This support circle was created so that early-career Latinas don’t have to carry this weight by themselves. Together, we can redefine success, without guilt, burnout, or isolation, pero con mucho sazon! Because we deserve to show up authentically, without filtering and leaving behind parts of ourselves.
If this is speaking to you, I’d love for you to apply.
Con carino, Dra. Nancy
