Migrating to the United States without losing everything | Tatiana shares her experience

In this episode of enTránsito with Dra. Mitzy Velazco, PhD, I talk with Tatiana about what it means to migrate to the United States, to start over, and to discover that not everything is lost in the process.

From this conversation, we reflect on what we often discover upon arriving in a new country: the value of our education and previous experience, the challenges of adapting as a family, the importance of emotionally preparing our children, keeping Spanish alive at home, and learning to navigate new codes at work and in daily life.

We also discuss something profoundly human: questioning your decisions amidst chaos doesn't mean you've failed. Often, it means you're going through a profound transition. Adaptation takes time, integration is learned, and belonging is built step by step.
