Only 1 in 3 Latinas struggling with mental health ever get professional help. Stigma, cultural expectations, and lack of bilingual, bicultural care keep too many of us silent. That's why the Rise Latina Summit was created—a free, 3-day online event designed to help Latinas heal anxiety, nurture their health, and transform their lives.

In this episode, host Diana S. Rice, LMHC, CIMHP, CTP, QS is joined by founder Ana Martinez, health coach Naihomy Jerez, and mentor Carol Martínez to share why this summit matters and what women will walk away with. Together, we invite you to a space by Latinas, for Latinas—where healing is possible, resilience is reclaimed, and community rises together.
