Episode 3: Meet Jessica De Leon

I’m excited to share today’s conversation with fellow Angeleno, Jessica De Leon. You’ll have to excuse the background noise on this one, we were both surrounded by construction that day. Jessica sheds some much needed light on the Guatemalan community including the delicious food and important heritage sites. We discuss bearing the additional duty as a child to be your family’s English speaking bridge and the long term impact that causes. Jessica also takes us through her journey as a healer and acupuncturist and shares some much needed tips on prioritizing self care during trying times.
